Host adaptation of the leek-associate L2 lineage of Thrips tabaci: fitness divergence and molecular mechanisms on cabbage and onion.

This study reveals the dynamic biological and transcriptomic adaptation process of T. tabaci during short-term host shift from red cabbage to onion, highlighting the key roles of detoxification and hormone metabolism in mediating its host plasticity, and provides candidate molecular targets and a foundational framework...
