Dual-transcriptomics on microdissected cells reveals functional specialisation of symbiont-bearing-cells and contrasted responses to nutritional stress in the cereal weevil by Nikoletta Galambos, Nicolas Parisot, Agnès Vallier, Claudia Bevilacqua, Séverine Balmand, Carole Vincent-Monégat, Rita Rebollo, Benjamin Gillet, Sandrine Hughes, Abdelaziz Heddi, Anna Zaidman-Rémy

“…We found that central bacteriocytes overexpress transport and G-protein signalling-related genes when compared to peripheral bacteriocytes, indicating a signalling and/or transport function of these cells. Diet composition strongly impacts host and endosymbiont gene expression and reveals a molecular trade-off among metabolic pathways. …”
