Abstract Background Infestation by tea green leafhoppers ( Empoasca (Matsumurasca) onukii ) can cause a series of biochemical changes in leaves. As typical cell-rupture feeder, E. secretes proteases while using its stylet to probe the tender shoots plants Camellia sinensis ). This study identified and analyzed expressed specifically salivary gland (SG) gut through enzymatic activity assays comp...

The tea green leafhopper, Empoasca flavescens, is a major pest of Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze. Until recently, it has mainly been controlled by pesticides, but their use led to high levels toxic residues in plants, which threaten both the environment and human health. Therefore, safer biological control approach needed. Tea plants produce many volatile compounds, different clones differ resis...
