Strong impact of orally administered BCR4 defensin on aphid survival, embryo development, and symbiotic cells in three Acyrthosiphon pisum parthenogenetic lines - Journal of Pest Science Aphids are major crop pests capable of colonizing the main plants grown for human consumption. They have specialized cells, the bacteriocytes, which house the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola tha...
