Amino acid transporters implicated in endocytosis of Buchnera during symbiont transmission in the pea aphid
Abstract Background Many insects host their obligate, maternally transmitted symbiotic bacteria in specialized cells called bacteriocytes. One of the best-studied insect nutritional endosymbioses is that of the aphid and its endosymbiont, Buchnera aphidicola. Aphids and Buchnera are metabolically an...
