Aphid adaptation to cucurbits: sugars, cucurbitacin and phloem structure in resistant and susceptible melons

Abstract Background Aphis gossypii, a strictly phloemophagaous aphid, colonize hundreds of plant families, and a group of clones formed a cucurbit-specialised host-race. Cucurbits are unique in having evolved a specific extra-fascicular phloem (EFP), which carries defence-related metabolites such as...
