Changes in melon plant phytochemistry impair Aphis gossypii growth and weight under elevated CO2
Abstract Elevated CO2 (eCO2) modifies plant primary and secondary metabolism that subsequently impacts herbivore insect performance due to changes in its nutritional requirements. This laboratory study evaluated interactions between Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and melon (Cucumis mel...
