Small brown planthopper infestation enhances it reproduction and insecticide tolerance by manipulating glucose distribution and levels in rice
The evolutionary arms race between plants and insects involves not only direct defense and counter-defense but also sophisticated resource manipulation. However, how herbivorous insects respond to host nutritional signals to modulate their fitness traits remains unclear. This study investigates how the small brown planthopper (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus ) manipulates host plant carbohydrate…
