LdEP01, the first characterized Lycorma delicatula salivary effector protein modulates plant defenses.
Molecular biology reports 20251211 1
BACKGROUND: The spotted lanternfly (SLF), Lycorma delicatula, is a polyphagous invasive species in the United States known for causing significant damage to grapevines. This phloem-feeding insect secretes saliva containing effector proteins at the time of feeding, allowing for the ingestion of the phloem’s nutrients. The mechanisms that SLF uses to modulate plant defenses and feed efficiently remain unknown and understudied. Methods and Results: We identified LdEP01, an SLF predicted secreted ef ...[more]
