Intraspecific variation in immune gene expression and heritable symbiont density.

PLoS pathogens - 1 Apr 2021

Nichols Holly L, Goldstein Elliott B, Saleh Ziabari Omid, Parker Benjamin J

Abstract excerpt

Host genetic variation plays an important role in the structure and function of heritable microbial communities. Recent studies have shown that insects use immune mechanisms to regulate heritable symbionts. Here we test the hypothesis that variation in symbiont density among hosts is linked to intraspecific differences in the immune response to harboring symbionts. We show that pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum)...
