Apolipoprotein D3 is required for long‐chain cuticular hydrocarbon accumulation and water retention in Acyrthosiphon pisum

BACKGROUND: The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is a damaging phloem-feeding pest of legume crops, and RNA interference (RNAi)-based targeting of stress-adaptation genes offers a promising route for target-specific pest management. Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) proteins are putative li...
