Microbiome diversity of cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii) is associated with host alternation
Scientific Reports, 2021 Aphids are infected by a series of bacteria that can help them survive on specific host plants. However, the associations between aphids and these bacteria are not clear, and the bacterial communities in many aphid species are poorly characterized. Here,

The miR-9b microRNA mediates dimorphism and development of wing in aphids
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Evolution of various wings plays an important role in the success of insects in environmental adaptation. During evolution, aphids deploy a wing dimorphism strategy to escape unfavorable conditions.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Symbioses between animals and microbes often involve host control of symbionts to harness a benefit. In aphids, Buchnera symbionts produce amino acids for their hosts, enabling these insects to survive solely on plant sap. Buchnera abundance

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 High chemosensitivity of insects to volatile organic compounds (VOC) stimuli is mediated by odorant binding proteins (OBPs). In aphids, three OBPs (OBP3, OBP7 and OBP9) are E-β-farnesene (EBF)-binding proteins.

Plant defense against aphids, the pest extraordinaire.
Plant Science, 2019 Aphids are amongst the most damaging pests of plants that use their stylets to penetrate the plant tissue to consume large amounts of phloem sap and thus deprive the plant of photoassimilates.

Grass Hosts of Cereal Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Between Wheat-Cropping Cycles in South Dakota [PDF]
, 2018 Several grasses may serve as alternative hosts for cereal aphids during the interim between small-grain crops in South Dakota, but field studies to determine which grasses are important have not been undertaken.
