Nitrogen hurdle of host alternation for a polyphagous aphid and the associated changes of endosymbionts
Low proportion of essential amino acids (EAAs) is one of the barriers for animals to use phloem as a diet. Endosymbionts with EAAs synthesis functions are considered crucial for ameliorating the lack of EAAs in insects’ diets. In this study, we transferred the insects from a cabbage-reared Myzus per...
