Shoo fly

When wheat becomes infested with Hessian fly larvae the plant is forced to undergo a variety of physical and biochemical changes. The larvae?s saliva thins the surface of the leaf to allow the larvae to get to the liquid in the plant?s cells. A study funded by the US Department of Agriculture and published in The Plant Journal has investigated how this happens, which researchers hope will allow them to make plants more resistant.
