Burkholderia
Pseudomonadota |
Riptortus pedestrisSouth Korea |
Bacteria
|
Extracellular
|
Burkholderia gut symbiont stimulates the biosynthesis of the heteroptera-specific JHSB3 in the host, leading to a larger number of eggs produced and enhanced fitness in Riptortus. |

Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Asaia sp. improves the fitness of white-backed planthopper (WBPH) by reducing nymphal duration, increasing adult weight, and supplying nutrients to the host. |
