description For instance, <i>Pseudomonas</i> is involved in numerous life processes of <i>A. gossypii</i> and exerts a significant influence on its physiological indicators. The results demonstrate that <i>Pseudomonas</i> infection disturbs the normal growth and development of <i>A. gossypii</i>, resulting in a substantial reduction in the number of offspring. Compared with the uninfected control group, the innate rate of increase and the endogenous growth rate are markedly lower. Moreover, RNA-sequencing revealed that genes related to energy synthesis and nutrient metabolism were significantly upregulated in <i>A. gossypii</i> infected with <i>Pseudomonas</i>. Simultaneously, the infection led to a significant downregulation of genes related to alkaline phosphatase in the folate-synthesis pathway and histone proteinase B synthesis in the metabolism pathway of <i>A. gossypii</i>. These experimental findings indicate that <i>Pseudomonas</i> infection disrupts the growth and development of <i>A. gossypii</i>, specifically manifested as a significant upregulation of genes related to energy synthesis and nutrient metabolism and a downregulation of genes related to reproduction. Overall, these results offer support for the study of the interactions between aphids and symbiotic bacteria.
