Molecular characterizations and functional analyses of the novel salivary effector <scp>SaApo AI</scp> from the cereal aphid <scp>Sitobion avenae</scp>
SaApo AI is a novel salivary effector that could modulate wheat immune responses, and enhance the fitness of S. avenae on wheat. Our results provide insights into understanding of mechanisms for salivary apolipoprotein-mediated plant-aphid interactions, and a potential molecular target for wheat aphid control through RNAi technologies. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
