a Localization of symbiotic bacteria Portiera (red) and Hamiltonella (green) in adult whiteflies. b Localization of symbiotic bacteria Portiera (red) and Rickettsia (blue) in adult whiteflies. c Effects of antibiotic treatments on the abundance of symbionts in whiteflies. d Effects of Hamiltonella elimination on biotin levels in whiteflies within 0–7 days after emergence at the F1 stage. e Genetic duplication of biotin synthesis for the whitefly B. tabaci HTGs and symbiont Hamiltonella (This figure is adapted from previous work [17, 42]). f Effect of Hamiltonella elimination on HTG expression in whiteflies. +HBt and -HBt represent Hamiltonella-infected and Hamiltonella-cured whiteflies, respectively. Data shown are mean ± SE. Different letters above the bars indicate significant differences between treatments at P < 0.05.
