Strong impact of orally administered BCR4 defensin on aphid survival, embryo development and symbiotic cells in three Acyrthosiphon pisum parthenogenetic lines
2024-11-27
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Aphids are major crop pests capable of colonizing the main plants grown for human consumption. They have specialized cells, the bacteriocytes, which house the obligatory symbionts <italic>Buchnera aphidicola </italic>that provide them with essential nutrients missing from their diet. Bacteriocyte-specific cysteine-rich peptides (BCRs) are encoded by a defensin gene family exclusively pr...
