Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT Honeydew, a sugary excretion from sap‐feeding insects, significantly influences plant‐insect interactions. While extensive research has examined honeydew's composition, regulation, and role in insect‐plant relationships, its direct effects on plant physiology and health remain understudied.

Primary and Secondary Symbionts of Cambodian Cicadellidae and the Role of Parasitisation
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.Leafhoppers are key agricultural pests, and their interactions with parasitoids may be influenced by microbial symbionts. In this study, we characterized the bacterial communities of six Cambodian leafhopper species and their parasitoids, finding that while Sulcia dominates leafhopper microbiotas, parasitoids exhibit higher microbial diversity.

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 632-644, October 2025.Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce
