Parallel metatranscriptome analysis reveals degradation of plant secondary metabolites by beetles and their gut symbionts

Switching to a new host plant is a driving force for divergence and speciation in herbivorous insects. This process of incorporating a novel host plant into the diet may require a number of adaptations in the insect herbivores that allow them to consume host plant tissue that may contain toxic secon...
