Abstract
Aphids (Hemiptera, Aphididae) belong to the class Insecta with about 5000 species worldwide. Despite extensive efforts with integrative management strategies, these pests have continued to adapt to selection pressure asserted by many control measures such as resistant host varieties and even insecticide spraying. Hence, knowledge gaps still exist with regards to aphid genomes and genomic function. This review aims to give a historical overview on the invasiveness of one of the economically important cereal pests, Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov), also commonly known as the Russian wheat aphid (RWA), as well as present some of the more recent findings in studies pertaining to the aphid-plant host interaction and highlight new developments in understanding the mechanisms underpinning the development of virulence in this cereal aphid.
期刊介绍：
Insect Science is an English-language journal, which publishes original research articles dealing with all fields of research in into insects and other terrestrial arthropods. Papers in any of the following fields will be considered: ecology, behavior, biogeography, physiology, biochemistry, sociobiology, phylogeny, pest management, and exotic incursions. The emphasis of the journal is on the adaptation and evolutionary biology of insects from the molecular to the ecosystem level. Reviews, mini reviews and letters to the editor, book reviews, and information about academic activities of the society are also published.
