Journal ArticleDOI

A protein from the salivary glands of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is essential in feeding on a host plant

TL;DR: It is shown, by using RNAi-based transcript knockdown, that this protein is important in the survival of the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) on fava bean, a host plant, and this protein, whose sequence contains an N-terminal secretion signal, is injected into the host plant during aphid feeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

TREHALOSE PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE11‐dependent trehalose metabolism promotes Arabidopsis thaliana defense against the phloem‐feeding insect Myzus persicae

TL;DR: Evidence presented here indicates that TPS11-dependent trehalose regulates expression of the PHYTOALEXin DEFICIENT4 gene, which is a key modulator of defenses against GPA, which promotes the re-allocation of carbon into starch at the expense of sucrose, the primary plant-derived carbon and energy source for the insect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant defense against aphids, the pest extraordinaire.

TL;DR: The progress made on identifying molecular factors and mechanisms that contribute to host defense, including plant resistance genes and signaling components, as well as aphid-derived effectors that elicit or attenuate host defenses are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arabidopsis thaliana—Myzus persicae interaction: shaping the understanding of plant defense against phloem-feeding aphids

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent studies that have exploited the compatible interaction between Arabidopsis and GPA to understand the molecular and physiological mechanisms utilized by plants to control aphid infestation, as well as genes and mechanisms that contribute to susceptibility.
