This study identifies RNA editing as a mechanism enabling the green peach aphid to adapt to diverse hosts through transcriptomic changes without genetic variation.

The paper identifies barrier loci across a divergence continuum in pea aphids, showing their clustering in low-recombination regions and enrichment for genes related to host specialization.

The paper examines how plant and aphid genotypes, along with rhizobia inoculation, influence legume defense against aphids through gene expression and aphid performance.

This study compares transcriptional plasticity in generalist and specialist aphids in response to different host plants, finding divergent gene expression patterns and differential effects of plant defense signals.

The paper investigates how different aphid morphs use anticipatory or responsive plasticity strategies during host shifts, showing migratory morphs rely on pre-configured programs while summer morphs adapt through transcriptional changes.

The paper analyzes olfactory and gustatory receptor genes and transposable elements in aphid genomes to understand their evolutionary dynamics and role in host adaptation.

This study identifies key leaf maturity stages that trigger migrant morph development and irreversible host alternation in aphids.

The paper uses multi-omics approaches to identify aphid effector candidates linked to virulence and avirulence in pea aphids on Medicago truncatula.

MinYS assembles a specific symbiont genome from metagenomic data, achieving high-quality results even with distant references and diverse samples.

The paper presents genome assemblies and analysis of two aphid parasitoid wasps, identifying AT-richness and gene family expansions linked to host interactions and symbiosis.
