Hemipterans (such as aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers) are some of the most devastating
insect pests due to the numerous plant pathogens they transmit as vectors, which are …

Plants protect themselves with a vast array of toxic secondary metabolites, yet most plants
serve as food for insects. The evolutionary processes that allow herbivorous insects to resist …

Plant viruses are a group of intracellular pathogens that persistently threaten global food
security. Significant advances in plant virology have been achieved by Chinese scientists …

Aphid salivary proteins are critical in modulating plant defence responses. Grain aphid
Sitobion miscanthi is an important wheat pest worldwide. However, the molecular basis for …

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 …

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 …

Arginine rich, mutated in early stage of tumours (Armet), is a well‐characterized bifunctional
protein as an unfolded protein response component intracellularly and a neurotrophic factor …

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

Upon infection with insect-borne microbial pathogens, plants are exposed to two types of
damage simultaneously. Over the past decade, numerous molecular studies have been …

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 …
