A Horizontally Transferred Plant Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Steers Whitefly Reproduction

Abstract Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential nutrients for all living organisms. PUFA synthesis is mediated by Δ12 desaturases in plants and microorganisms, whereas animals usually obtain PUFAs through their diet. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is an extremely polyphagous agricultural pes...
