Cuticular Hydrocarbon Plasticity in Three Rice Planthopper Species. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are organic compounds of the surface lipid layer, which function as a barrier against water loss and xenobiotic penetration, while also serving as chemical signals. Plasticity of CHC profiles can vary depending upon numerous biological and environmental factors.

Differential Performance of Vector and Non-Vector Planthoppers on Virus-Infected vs. Mock-Infected Plants [PDF]
InsectsThe southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) is transmitted by the white-backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera, but not by the co-occurring brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens.
