Abstract

‘Effectors’ are proteins and/or small molecules that originated from aphid saliva gland and its secretion is initiated due to interaction between host and insect. The effectors have the ability to manipulate the host cell structure as well as function similar to pathogen’s effectors. Like pathogen’s effectors, aphid effectors suppress the hosts’ defense responses as well as hosts’ defense induction or both. In the susceptible interaction with the host, aphid effectors alter plant processes that contribute to the establishment of compatibility that promotes aphid proliferation. In the susceptible reaction with the host, aphid effectors contribute to the successful salivation and sustainability of the sieve element sap ingestion that have promoting role in more aphid proliferation. In the resistant interaction with the host, aphid effectors are recognized by the typical plant receptors and elicit the induction the effective defense response. As a result, aphid proliferation is reduced due to reduced compatibility establishment in the resistant host. This review focuses on the exciting progress in aphid effector biology that insights new perspective in the molecular basis of plant–aphid interactions.
