The project investigates the role of salivary gland proteins in aphids, which are pests affecting plants. By identifying and characterizing these proteins, the research aims to understand how they help aphids manipulate plant defenses, ultimately contributing to the development of resistant plant varieties.
Aphids, like whiteflies, leafhoppers and planthoppers, are hemipteran sap-feeding insects of plants.
Aphid feeding results in induction of plant defences, which during successful aphid infestation become suppressed.
Several studies showed that aphid salivary gland proteins can suppress host defences and are important for aphid survival.
Aphid salivary glands are complex consisting of multiple lobes with distinct cell types, each of which secrete distinct sets of proteins that could manipulate pl…
