This project investigates how symbiotic bacteria influence herbivorous insects, particularly focusing on pea aphids. It aims to understand the role of facultative symbionts in altering plant defenses and their effects on insect-plant interactions through various scientific approaches.
Micro-organisms, in particular symbiotic bacteria, can affect the way that herbivorous insects utilise their host plants.
The best known examples are the obligate endosymbionts that enable their hosts to feed on diets impoverished in essential nutrients.
But recent research has identified new ways in which bacteria can influence insect-plant interactions, and which often involve facultative rather than obligate associations.
In some species facultative symbionts are associated to host plant use,…
