Abstract During the last decade, sorghum aphid ( Melanaphis sorghi ), previously identified as sugarcane sacchari became a serious pest of sorghum, spreading to all sorghum‐producing regions in United States, Mexico, and South America, where crop losses 50%–100% have been reported. Developing cultivars with resistance this insect is most sustainable strategy for long‐term management. To design resistance, comprehensively understanding mechanisms underlying survival, host plant aphid–sorghum interactions critical.
