- Bacterial microbiota associated with ants of the genus Tetraponera (2007, methodology): “After electrophoresis of 16 h at 150 V on a temperature gradient from 40 to 50 °C, gels were silver-stained according to a protocol from Caetano-Anollés & Gresshoff (1994). Excision of TGGE bands of interest was perfoemd using a sterile scalpel.”
- Multiorganismal Insects: Diversity and Function of Resident Microorganisms (2014, background): “The principal sources of nitrogen in phloem sap are the free amino acids of unbalanced composition, with <20% essential amino acids (the 9/10 of 20 amino acids that contribute to protein that cannot be synthesized by animals) (36).”
- The microbial dimension in insect nutritional ecology (2009, background): “In most plants, the nitrogen of both xylem sap and phloem sap is dominated by non-essential amino acids, with the essential amino acids accounting for < 20% of the total (Douglas 2006).”
- Aphid-plant interactions: a review (2008, background): “However, plant sap is an unbalanced food for aphids, being composed for the most part by carbohydrates (mainly sucrose) and, as a nitrogen source, by free amino acids, but is too low in essential amino acids in respect to animal necessities, and to account for the high rate of increase of aphids (Do”
- Aphids in a changing world: testing the plant stress, plant vigour and pulsed stress hypotheses (2012, background): “Plant secondary compounds tend to be localized in the apoplast and cell vacuole (Douglas, 2006) and thus glucosinolate profiles in the phloem are broadly similar to the whole leaves (Kim & Jander, 2007).”
