HIGHLIGHTS
- who: . and collaborators from the Brazil University of Su00e3o Paulo, Brazil have published the research: Bacteriocyte plasticity in pea aphids facing amino acid stress or starvation during development, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The study showed that bacteriocytes undergo 1) extensive transcriptional reprogramming, with up-regulation of division and cell growth-associated genes, and 2) an increase in their number following the Phe/Tyr depletion. The study shows that bacteriocytes react differently to distinct nutritional challenges. The authors propose that the increase in bacteriocyte numbers allows the aphid to increase overall amino_acid biosynthesis to compensate . . .
