Conditional effects of on microbiota in an invasive whitefly under different ecological factors.

, a vital symbiont in Mediterranean (MED), can influence the microbiota in MED under high temperatures. However, the effects of infection on the microbiota in MED with different genetic backgrounds under different ecological factors still remain poorly understood. In this study, based on full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantitative PCR (qPCR) experiments, the effects of infection on the microbiota in two MED geographical populations with different genetic backgrounds were determined with particular attention to ecological factors such as high-temperature treatment and host-plant switching.
