The impact of Oulema melanopus associated bacteria on the wheat defense response to the feeding of their insect hosts

The aim of study was to elucidate the wheat plants' reaction to Oulema melanopus feeding and to disclose the O. melanopus associated bacteria modulation of the wheat-insect interactions.That kind of research can provide a better understanding of the three-way interactions between wheat, CLB, and its microbiome, and help improve the integrated pest management strategies to limit damages caused by the CLB.

本研究旨在阐明小麦植株对Oulema melanopus（谷麦叶甲，cereal leaf beetle，简称CLB）取食的响应，并揭示谷麦叶甲相关菌群对小麦-昆虫互作的调控作用。此类研究可增进对小麦、谷麦叶甲及其菌群三者间三重互作关系的认知，同时有助于优化害虫综合治理策略，以减轻谷麦叶甲造成的危害。
