Biology bacteriocyte-associated endosymbionts of plant sap-sucking insects. (2005, background): “These studies question the role of Buchnera in provisioning tryptophan and leucine for the aphid under these conditions of cultivation (107, 109).”
Honeydew amino acids in relation to sugars and their role in the establishment of ant‐attendance hierarchy in eight species of aphids feeding on tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) (2004, background): “The concentration of total amino acids in the phloem sap collected from the cut stylets of three species of aphids on wheat varied from 91 to 183 nmol mL 1 (Sandstrom & Moran, 2001), indicating considerable variation due to the feeding aphid.”
Nutritional and functional biology of exudate‐feeding ants (2006, background): “Second, these ants could benefit from amino 4 Cook & Davidson acid upgrading by bacterial associates of trophobionts (yet to be demonstrated for Membracidae and Coccidae); however, preliminary evidence from aphids shows few upgraded amino acids incorporated into honeydew (Sandstrom & Moran, 2001).”
