Host Plant and Light Regime Shape Limited, Whole-Body Transcriptional Rhythmicity in the Bird Cherry-Oat Aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi)
Background Daily cycles in environmental conditions shape the biology of plants and their insect herbivores. Because aphids feed nearly continuously from the phloem to sustain rapid population growth, they maintain prolonged, direct contact with their hosts, which exposes them to plant-derived daily rhythms in addition to those arising from the environment. We investigated whole-body…
