Biochemical evidence of epicuticular wax compounds involved in cotton-whitefly interaction.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Sucking insects require a surface of plants on which the legs and the eggs of insects will adhere and to which insect mouthparts will access. The primary plant protection against insects is their surface property, which hinders the attachment of the ...
