Analysis of salivary proteins in gall-inducing psylla and their potential influence on host plants.
Article in BMC genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Gall-forming insects manipulate host plants through the proteins present in their saliva, which play essential roles in reprogramming plant cells. In this study, we utilized an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic approach to explore the salivary proteome of camphor psylla (Trioza camphorae). Transcriptomic analysis identified 97 secretory proteins that were abundantly and specifically expressed in the salivary glands. Proteomic analysis further revealed 69 secretory proteins in the salivary glands and 21 proteins in the secreted saliva. Collectively, 168 proteins were identified as potential salivary components of T. camphorae. Comparative analysis of T. camphorae saliva with other herbivorous insects unveiled 66 conserved salivary proteins. Interestingly, in contrast to the closely related Diaphorina citri, which lacks gall formation ability, 68 T. camphorae salivary proteins exhibited species-specificity. Due to the challenges of overexpressing proteins in camphor trees, we used Nicotiana benthamiana as a heterologous system to preliminarily assess salivary protein function. Three proteins were found to alter N. benthamiana physiology, though their specific roles in T. camphorae-camphor tree interactions require further investigation. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying insect-induced gall formation, and might be useful in the future management of forest pests.
