Adaptation by the Brown Planthopper to Resistant Rice: A Test of Female-Derived Virulence and the Role of Yeast-like Symbionts

Insects, 2021
Simple Summary The brown planthopper (Niliparvata lugens [Stål]) feeds on rice in Asia. Rice breeders have developed varieties with resistance to the planthopper; however, planthoppers quickly adapt to these varieties (called ‘virulence adaptation’).
