Genomic analysis reveals Buchnera aphidicola helps aphids counter oxidative stress from plant compounds, indicating its role as a critical endosymbiont.
The genome of the obligate bacterial endosymbiont Buchnera aphidicola from the aphid Uroleucon formosanum was sequenced and assembled using Illumina paired-end sequencing. Genomic functional analysis revealed that B. aphidicola can assist its host in counteracting oxidative stress induced by plant-derived sesquiterpene lactones.
