Molecular determinants of aphid host range (APHIDHOST)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

Many aphid species are restricted to one or few host plants, while some aphids, many of which are of agricultural importance, can infest a wide range of plant species. An important observation is that aphids spend a considerable time on nonhost species, where they probe the leaf tissue and secrete saliva, but for unknown reasons are unable to ingest phloem sap. This suggest that aphids, like plant ...
