A Cuticular Protein in Aphid Saliva Suppresses Plant Defence by Inhibiting Cellulose Degradation.

Aphids employ numbers of salivary proteins to subvert plant defences during phloem feeding. These salivary proteins can be secreted into plants, and localised to the mesophyll cells and the phloem, but few studies identify the effectors suppressing t…
