This project investigates how pea aphids adapt to specific legume plants by studying their saliva proteins and symbiotic relationships. It aims to understand the mechanisms of host plant adaptation, which could lead to new strategies for controlling aphid populations in agriculture.
Aphids are insect pests that feed on plant phloem sap and cause feeding damages and transmission of plant pathogens.
The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) complex is consisted of multiple biotypes each of which specialized to specific legume plants.
Aphids use a specialized mouth part to puncture plant phloem sieve cells and suck plant nutrients.
During the feeding process, aphids secrete saliva which contains various proteins that might interact with plant proteins.
Interestingly, the pea aphids…
