Bacterial Competition Influences the Ability of Symbiotic Bacteria to Colonize Western Flower Thrips

Bacterial Competition Influences the Ability of Symbiotic Bacteria to Colonize Western Flower Thrips

Symbiont mediated RNAi (SMR) is a promising method for precision control of pest insect species such as Western Flower Thrips (WFT). Two species of bacteria are known to be dominant symbiotic bacteria in WFT, namely BFo1 and BFo2 (Bacteria from Frankliniella occidentalis 1 and 2), as we here confirm...
