putative evolutionary origin of plasmids carrying the genes involved in leucine biosynthesis in buchnera aphidicola (endosymbiont of aphids).	an 8.5-kb plasmid encoding genes (leuabcd) involved in leucine biosynthesis and a small plasmid of 1.74 kb of yet unknown function were found in the intracellular symbiont, buchnera aphidicola, of two divergent aphid species, thelaxes suberi and tetraneura caerulescens, respectively. the leuabcd-carrying plasmid (pbts1) was amplified from total aphid dna by inverse long pcr, using outwardly oriented oligonucleotide primers specific to leua. the resulting 8.2-kb pcr fragment as well as the 1.74-k ...	1997	9244264
genetic characterization of plasmids containing genes encoding enzymes of leucine biosynthesis in endosymbionts (buchnera) of aphids.	the prokaryotic endosymbionts (buchnera) of aphids are known to provision their hosts with amino acids that are limiting in the aphid diet. buchnera from the aphids schizaphis graminum and diuraphis noxia have plasmids containing leuabcd, genes that encode enzymes of the leucine biosynthetic pathway, as well as genes encoding proteins probably involved in plasmid replication (repa1 and repa2) and an open reading frame (orf1) of unknown function. the newly reported plasmids closely resemble a pla ...	1999	9873079
the sexuales of thelaxes suberi (hemiptera, aphidoidea: thelaxinae).	the oviparous female and male of thelaxes suberi (del guercio) are described and illustrated in detail for the first time. notes on distribution, biology and host plants are presented, and keys are provided to the known sexuales of european thelaxes species.	2013	26191588
