Buchnera

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria
Intracellular

Elimination of Buchnera significantly reduced the formation of winged morphs, body mass, and fecundity in S. avenae; it may disrupt nutrient acquisition in aphids and alter transgenerational phenotypic expression.

Intracellular

Buchnera aphidicola disruption down-regulated the expression of the host's Mp63 salivary protein gene.

2015

Buchnera aphidicola

Pseudomonadota

Bacteria

Buchnera aphidicola is an obligate symbiont that provides essential amino acids.
