Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Buchnera aphidicola derives the protein GroES which induces hydrogen peroxide accumulation and callose deposition in wheat, activating the plant's defense pathways (salicylic acid and jasmonic acid) against the aphid Sitobion miscanthi. |

Bacteria
|
Intracellular
|
Serratia symbiotica inhibits the process of regression from winged to wingless morph (apterization) in Acyrthosiphon pisum, increases the body weight of nymphs, and temporally increases the quantity of the primary symbiont Buchnera aphidicola. |
