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 investigates horizontal gene transfer in aphids, showing multiple carotenoid biosynthesis genes were acquired from fungi and assembled into a functional pathway.

This study identifies aphid-derived lncRNAs that influence maize resistance by showing their systemic movement and impact on aphid fecundity and colonization.
