An Aphid Protein Interferes with Plant endomembrane Trafficking Machinery to Promote Aphid Survival and Plant Growth
Aphids deplete their host plants of amino acids and other essential nutrients by feeding on phloem sap. Autophagy, a conserved process across eukaryotes, maintains cellular homeostasis during starvation and environmental stress by recycling damaged or excess cellular components. Here, we identified and characterized a previously uninvestigated aphid salivary protein, termed Aphid Autophagy…
