Plants are constantly challenged by insect pests that can dramatically decrease yields. Insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts, for example, aphids, whiteflies, and leaf hoppers, seemingly cause less physical damage to tissues, however, they feed on the plant's sap by piercing plant tissue and extracting plant fluids, thereby transmitting several plant-pathogenic viruses as well. As a counter-defense, plants activate an array of dynamic defense machineries against insect pests including the rapid reprogramming of the host cell processes. For a holistic understanding of plant-sap-sucking insect interactions, there is a need to call for techniques with the capacity to concomitantly capture these dynamic changes. Recent progress with various 'omic' technologies possess this capacity. In this review, we will provide a concise summary of application of 'omic' technologies and their utilization in plant and sap-sucking insect interaction studies. Finally, we will provide a perspective on the integration of 'omics' data in uncovering novel plant defense mechanisms against sap-sucking insect pests.

Ento（o）mics：“组学”方法解密植物防御树液吸吮害虫的方法的交叉点。

植物不断受到害虫的挑战，这些害虫会大大降低产量。带有刺吸口器的昆虫，例如蚜虫，粉虱和叶蝉，似乎对组织的物理损害较小，但是，它们通过刺穿植物组织并提取植物液而以植物汁液为食，从而传播多种植物病原性病毒也一样 作为防御，植物激活了一系列针对昆虫害虫的动态防御机制，包括对宿主细胞过程的快速重新编程。为了全面了解吸吮植物的昆虫之间的相互作用，有必要寻求能够同时捕获这些动态变化的技术。各种“组学”技术的最新进展都具有这种能力。在这篇评论中 我们将简要介绍“组学”技术的应用及其在植物和树液吸食昆虫相互作用研究中的应用。最后，我们将提供有关“组学”数据整合的观点，以发现新型的植物防御机制，防止树液吸吮害虫。
