Highlights • Novel aphid bicycle genes contribute to plant gall development • Variation in a bicycle gene alters plant gene expression and a gall phenotype • bicycle genes encode a large family of diverse, secreted, cysteine-rich proteins • Many bicycle genes have experienced repeated diversifying selection Summary In an elaborate form of inter-species exploitation, many insects hijack plant development to induce novel plant organs called galls that provide the insect with a source of...
