Tyrosine (Tyr, Y) and phenylalanine (Phe, F) synthesis is shared by the pea aphid and its symbiont Buchnera aphidicola.These aromatic amino acids are essential for the pea aphid growth and development. To characterize the molecular mechanisms, at gene transcriptional level, underlying this symbiotic...
The aim of this work was to analyse the expression of the Buchnera genes within different embryonic compartments (small, medium and large) as compared to the maternal bacteriocytes in the aphid Acyrtosiphon pisum.
