A coevolutionary conundrum: the arms race between Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) a specialist pest and its host Triticum aestivum (L.)

摘要: Aphids seemingly hold the competitive edge above plants in their arms race because of long evolutionary time and standing association with endosymbionts. However, advent modern crop biotechnology has added a further component to plant’s adaptive arsenal. In specialist associations, as case Diuraphis noxia its limited host range, both partners exert innovative strategies during macroevolutionary process that leads development novel traits. current review, concept an uneven enigmatic between insect pest is being argued. Many intricacies at play are highlighted discussed, which may provide opportunities for either partner overcome others’ barriers interaction.
