Phylogenomics, population structure, and symbiont diversity refine the systematics of Southeast Asian rice leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae).

Abstract excerpt

Leafhoppers of the genus Nephotettix (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) are major vectors of rice tungro disease in Southeast Asia. Despite their economic significance, their evolutionary history, genomic adaptations, and associations with microbial symbionts remain poorly understood. Here, we aim to resolve the phylogenomic placement of Nephotettix, characterize patterns of gene family evolution, assess population...
