Oleander aphids (ππ±π©πͺπ΄ π―π¦π³πͺπͺ) on swamp milkweed (ππ΄π€ππ¦π±πͺπ’π΄ πͺπ―π€π’π³π―π’π΅π’), from July 2022.
Interestingly, these little critters are all female; no males are found in the wild. They reproduce by parthenogenesis.

How does BBM-mediated #parthenogenesis work? Understanding this process will help #PlantScience improve haploid #breeding efficiency. A new study by Liu et al. gets us one step closer. https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.13678
