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 …

Current crop production systems are prone to increasing pathogen pressure. Fundamental
understanding of molecular plant-pathogen interactions, the availability of crop and …

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 …

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 …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is both a vital source of food and a key model cereal for genomic
research. Insect pests are major factors constraining rice production. Here, we provide an …

Herbivorous insects such as whiteflies, planthoppers, and aphids secrete abundant orphan
proteins to facilitate feeding. Yet, how these genes are recruited and evolve to mediate plant …

Simple Summary Environmental stresses adversely affect rice production. Understanding
the molecular responses of rice to these stresses will have an enormous impact on the …

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 whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a notorious agricultural pest of many crops worldwide.
Although it is thought that B. tabaci secretes saliva into the host plant to counter plant …

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 …
