Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Plants have various self-defense mechanisms against biotic attacks, involving both physical
and chemical barriers. Physical barriers include spines, trichomes, and cuticle layers …

Plants deploy receptor-like kinases and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors to
confer host plant resistance (HPR) to herbivores. These gene-for-gene interactions between …

Salivary elicitors secreted by herbivorous insects can be perceived by host plants to trigger
plant immunity. However, how insects secrete other salivary components to subsequently …

Phloem-feeding insects cause massive losses in agriculture and horticulture. Host plant
resistance to phloem-feeding insects is often mediated by changes in phloem composition …

Vitellogenin (Vg) is a well‐known nutritious protein involved in reproduction in nearly all
oviparous animals, including insects. Recently, Vg has been detected in saliva proteomes of …

Diverse molecular processes regulate the interactions between insect herbivores and their
host plants. When plants are exposed to insects, elicitors induce plant defenses, and …

The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål)(Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is a
serious insect pest on rice. It uses its stylet to collect sap by penetrating the phloem and at …

全球的农作物每年因为病虫害导致产量损失在11%-30%, 大量的化学农药被用来控制病虫害的
发生和蔓延, 不仅污染环境, 还严重影响人们的食品安全和身体健康. 因此 …

The small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus; SBPH) is a piercing-sucking insect
that secretes salivary proteins into its plant host during feeding. However, the mechanisms …
