Plant manipulation through gall formation constrains amino acid transporter evolution in sap-feeding insects
Abstract Background The herbivore lifestyle leads to encounters with plant toxins and requires mechanisms to overcome suboptimal nutrient availability in plant tissues. Although the evolution of bacterial endosymbiosis alleviated many of these challenges, the ability to manipulate plant nutrient sta...
