Transcriptomic Immune Response of the Cotton Stainer Dysdercus fasciatus to Experimental Elimination of Vitamin-Supplementing Intestinal Symbionts
The acquisition and vertical transmission of bacterial symbionts plays an important role in insect evolution and ecology. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the stable maintenance and control of mutualistic bacteria remain poorly understood. The cotton stainer Dysdercus fasciatus harbours...
