| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genetic distance between original and new host plants was correlated not with weight difference of herbivorous insects when using these plants but with the number of differentially expressed gene regions. Since the genetic distance was correlated with canavanine concentration in the plants, this amino acid might inhibit insect development.
Utilization probability of a new host plant was different between geographic populations of herbivore A and was correlated with bacterial diversity in A. In herbivore C, its fitness did not decrease by using a new host plant when C was infected with symbiotic bacteria. Therefore, bacterial diversity serves to promote host-plant shift in herbivorous insects.
The fitness of a parasitic wasp was lower when parasitizing C infected by symbiotic bacteria than when parasitizing an uninfected C, indicating infection increased the herbivore’s fitness. These results suggest that symbiotic bacteria increases herbivores’ fitness through interacting species.
