Stressful times in a climate crisis: how will aphids respond to more frequent drought?
Daniel J. Leybourne,Katharine F. Preedy,Tracy A. Valentine,Jorunn I. B. Bos,Alison J. Karley +4 more
TL;DR: A conceptual model is proposed to predict drought effects on aphid fitness in relation to plant vigour and defence in drought-stressed plants, which is typically reduced under drought.

Drought stress increases the expression of barley defence genes with negative consequences for infesting cereal aphids
Daniel J. Leybourne,Tracy A. Valentine,Kirsty Binnie,Anna Taylor,Alison J. Karley,Jorunn I. B. Bos,Jorunn I. B. Bos +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of plant defensive processes in mediating the interactions between the environment, plants, and herbivorous insects was highlighted, with the authors showing that the expression of thionin genes, plant defensive compounds that contribute to aphid resistance, increase ten-fold in susceptible plants exposed to drought stress but remain at constant levels in the partially resistant plant, suggesting they play an important role in modulating aphid populations.

An aphid effector promotes barley susceptibility through suppression of defence gene expression

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended efforts to characterize aphid effectors with regards to their role in promoting susceptibility to the Rhopalosiphum padi-barley interaction, and selected three R. padi effectors based on sequences similarity to previously characterized M. persicae effectors.

A cereal aphid effector promotes barley susceptibility in a species-specific manner through suppression of defence gene expression.
Carmen Escudero-Martinez,Patricia A. Rodriguez,Pablo Santos,Jennifer Stephens,Jorunn I. B. Bos +4 more
TL;DR: Characterization of Rp1 transgenic barley lines revealed reduced gene expression of plant hormone signalling genes relevant to plant-aphid interactions, indicating this effector enhances susceptibility by suppressing plant defences in barley.
