UNASSIGNED: Aphids are a large group of hemipteran pests that affect the physiology, growth and development of plants by using piercing mouthparts to consume fluids from the host. Based on recent data, aphids modulate the microbiomes of plants and thereby affect the overall outcome of the biological interaction. However, in a few reports, aboveground aphids manipulate the metabolism of the host and facilitate @entity277 by rhizosphere bacteria (rhizobacteria). In this study, we evaluated whether aphids alter the plant resistance that is mediated by the bacterial community of the root system. The rhizobacteria were affected by aphid @entity277 of pepper, and a large population of Gram-positive bacteria was detected. Notably, @entity13464 spp. were the unique Gram-positive bacteria to respond to changes induced by the aphids. @entity70277 was used as a rhizobacterium model to assess the recruitment of bacteria to the rhizosphere by the feeding of aphids and to test the effect of @entity13464 on the susceptibility of plants to aphids. The root exudates secreted from peppers infested with aphids increased the growth rate of @entity70277 . The application of @entity70277 to pepper roots promoted the colonization of aphids within 2 days of inoculation. Collectively, our results suggest that aphid @entity277 modulated the root exudation, which led to the recruitment rhizobacteria that manipulated the resistance of peppers to aphids. In this study, new information is provided on how the @entity277 of insects is facilitated through insect-derived modulation of plant resistance with the attraction of Gram-positive rhizobacteria.
