Demonstrates a new way to manage sap-sucking pests by disrupting their beneficial symbionts, suggesting an eco-friendly approach.
These findings underscore the potential of manipulating autophagy to disrupt symbiotic abundance as a novel and environmentally friendly strategy for pest management. Our study also suggests that disruption of intracellular symbiosis via insect immunity modulation is feasible for the management of sap-sucking insect pests.
