Burkholderia

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Burkholderia gut symbiont enhances the ovarian development and egg production (fecundity) of Riptortus pedestris by modulating Kr-h1 gene expression and increasing the biosynthesis of hexamerin-α and vitellogenin.

Bacteria

Candidatus Cardinium reduces the competitiveness of the host Bemisia tabaci by decreasing its detoxification metabolism ability, specifically the expression of uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronyltransferase and P450 genes. However, Cardinium also suppresses the host plant's defense response, a function which may benefit the whiteflies.
