Plant penetration by the stylets of six clones of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, on Vicia faba (acceptable to all clones) and Pisum sativum (acceptable to 3/6 clones) was investigated by the DC electrical penetration graph technique. In a 10 h recording period, 93% of 144 aphids exhibited sustained feeding on phloem sap. Significant interclonal differences were observed for the incidence of potential drops (indicative of brief punctures of plant cells) and the duration of waveform E1 (insect salivation into a sieve element). In addition, the total duration of the sieve element phase and the duration of completed bouts of sustained feeding differed between the two test plants, in a fashion varying between clones. However, these differences could not be related to the acceptability of plants to the different aphid clones. The duration of the stylet pathway phase preceding the first sustained feeding on phloem sap did not vary significantly with either aphid clone or plant. It is concluded that the resistance of P. sativum to certain A. pisum clones does not arise from factors impeding either stylet penetration through the plant tissues or the maintenance of feeding from the sieve elements. It is proposed that host plant affiliation of A. pisum may be mediated primarily by specific olfactory or gustatory cues, before the aphid initiates stylet penetration of the plant. 相似文献

AM真菌对紫花苜蓿茎点霉叶斑病及豌豆蚜为害的影响 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
苜蓿茎点霉(Phoma medicaginis)叶斑病和豌豆蚜(Acyrthosiphon pisum)是紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa)生产中重要的病虫害,在自然条件下常混合发生。本研究以紫花苜蓿为植物材料,探究接种AM真菌后,紫花苜蓿被苜蓿茎点霉侵染时,植物自身的防御机制,以及对后续豌豆蚜为害的影响,以期明确AM真菌对其调控机制。结果表明:AM真菌可显著降低植株茎点霉叶斑病病情指数(P<0.05); AM真菌促进了紫花苜蓿生长(P<0.05),改变了植株抗氧化酶(超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT))活性以及植物激素信号物质(水杨酸(SA))含量(P<0.05);病原菌侵染会诱导植物抗氧化防御系统活性增强,包括过氧化物酶(POD)、SOD、CAT和多酚氧化酶(PPO)(P<0.05),从而增加植物对后续虫害的抗性; AM真菌在植物受到病原菌胁迫时会发挥积极作用,显著提高植株的SOD和CAT活性(P<0.05),有效抑制病原菌侵染对植株造成的危害;而蚜虫为害则进一步加重了植物受到的损害,抑制了AM真菌对植物抗病性的正向调控。研究结果对... 相似文献

Abstract. Winged and wingless individuals of a pink clone of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), showed differences in the response curves for photoperiodic induction of both males and sexual females (oviparae). The critical night length (CNL) for ovipara induction in winged aphids was 0.75 h shorter than in wingless aphids, whereas the CNL for male induction in winged aphids was 1.0h longer than in wingless aphids. This means that in winged aphids the CNL for male induction in winged aphids was 0.5 h longer than that for ovipara induction, while in wingless aphids the CNL for male induction was 1.0–1.5 h shorter than that for ovipara induction, and also the shapes of the curves differed.
Winged aphids were produced by wingless mothers which were crowded as young adults. However, when young adults were crowded in long nights, winged aphids were not produced, and the CNL for wing inhibition was between 9.5 and 10h. This effect of photoperiod on wing induction was maternal. 相似文献

Proof of the existence of aphid-derived molecules that induce emission of volatile organic compounds as indirect defensive responses in plants (hereafter called elicitors) has not yet been obtained. We showed here the presence and some aspects of the chemical nature of these elicitors. Exogenous application of the fed diet (liquid diet previously fed on by the Pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum) on the damaged part of leaves of broad bean plants, made the plants more attractive to a parasitic wasp, Aphidius ervi, than application of the unfed diet. This result suggested that elicitors existed in the fed diet. Chemical characterization using ultrafiltration and subsequent bioassay revealed that the responsible factor was larger than 3 kDa. Heating of the fed diet did not inactivate its ability to induce attractive volatiles, which suggested thermotolerance of the elicitor. These results contribute to the mechanistic understanding of plant defenses against aphids. 相似文献

Abstract 1. The taxon known as the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, is composed of a series of host plant associated populations and is widely used as a model system to explore ecological speciation and the evolution of specialisation. It is thus important to know how maternal and pre‐adult experience influences host plant utilisation in this species. 2. The relative importance of the maternal and pre‐adult host plant for adult fecundity and host preference was investigated using three aphid clones collected from Lathyrus pratensis and maintained on Lathyrus or Vicia faba. 3. No significant effects of the maternal host plant on offspring fecundity were detected. 4. The host plant on which the aphid grew up influenced adult fecundity, although in a complex way that depended on both the adult host plant species and when after transfer to the test plant fecundity was assessed. 5. All three clones preferred to colonise Lathyrus over Vicia, and this preference was stronger for aphids raised on Lathyrus. 6. The significance of the results for studies of the evolution of specialisation and speciation that employ A. pisum is discussed. 相似文献

1. Herbivores sometimes suppress plant defences. This study tested whether the presence of pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris) on broad bean (Vicia faba) led to decreased secretion of extrafloral nectar (EFN) which functions as an indirect plant defence against herbivores. 2. To determine effects of aphid infestation on EFN secretion, a comparison was done between EFN secretion in uninfested plants and that in plants infested by A. pisum and another aphid species (Aphis craccivora Koch). 3. When broad bean plants were infested by A. pisum, they secreted significantly smaller amounts of EFN than did uninfested plants and A. craccivora‐infested plants. There was no significant difference in EFN secretion between uninfested plants and A. craccivora‐infested plants. The number of extrafloral nectaries did not differ among the three treatments. 4. These results suggest that A. pisum reduced EFN production in broad bean plants. 相似文献

Diversity and geographic distribution of secondary endosymbiotic bacteria in natural populations of the pea aphid,Acyrthosiphon pisum 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In addition to the essential intracellular symbiotic bacterium Buchnera, several facultative endosymbiotic bacteria called collectively secondary symbionts (S-symbionts) have been identified from the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum. We conducted an extensive and systematic survey of S-symbionts in Japanese local populations of A. pisum using a specific PCR detection technique. Five S-symbionts of A. pisum, PASS, PAUS, PABS, Rickettsia and Spiroplasma, and two facultative endosymbionts universally found in various insects, Wolbachia and Arsenophonus, were targeted. Of 119 isofemale strains originating from 81 localities, 66.4% of the strains possessed either of four S-symbionts: PASS (38.7%); PAUS (16.0%); Rickettsia (8.4%); and Spiroplasma (3.4%), while 33.6% of the strains contained only Buchnera. PABS, Wolbachia and Arsenophonus were not detected from the Japanese strains of A. pisum. In order to understand intra- and interpopulational diversity of S-symbiont microbiota in detail, 858 insects collected from 43 localities were examined for infection with the four S-symbionts. It was demonstrated that different S-symbionts coexist commonly in the same local populations, but double infections with two S-symbionts were rarely detected. Notably, the S-symbionts exhibited characteristic geographical distribution patterns: PASS at high frequencies all over Japan; PAUS at high frequencies mainly in the northeastern part of Japan; and Rickettsia and Spiroplasma at low frequencies sporadically in the southwestern part of Japan. These results indicate that the geographical distribution and infection frequency of the S-symbionts, in particular PAUS, might be affected by environmental and/or historical factors. Statistical analyses suggested that the distribution of PAUS infection might be related to host plant species, temperature and precipitation. 相似文献

Abstract. A recently developed framework was applied to investigate the responses of newborn pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Homoptera: Aphididae), to simultaneous variations in dietary suerose and amino acid levels. The location of functional 'targets' for intake and growth were determined experimentally using performance criteria. Behavioural rules employed by insects to approach these targets were investigated by reference to the geometry of arrays of intake and growth across a range of diets. First-instar aphids were fed one of thirty-one chemically-defined diets ranging in sucrose concentration from 200 to 1000 mM and amino acid concentration from 25 to 250 mM. Insect survivorship, dry weight, protein- and carbohydrate-derived growth were high for all diets except those with the lowest nutrient levels. Peaks in final dry weight and protein content identified the intake target as the point reached by larvae fed the 600 mM sucrose, 75 mM amino acid diet. Aphids regulated sucrose primarily by consumption (i.e. behaviourally), whereas amino acids were regulated post-ingestively (i.e. by physiological mechanisms). 相似文献

The symbiotic bacteria Buchnera contribute to the nutrition of pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum, through the provision of essential amino acids which are lacking in the diet. However, chemically defined diets, containing nutritionally adequate amounts of essential amino acids, fail to rescue aposymbiotic aphids, in which the bacteria have been disrupted with antibiotics. In this study the injection of a mixture of essential amino acids into the haemocoel of aposymbiotic aphids was shown to alleviate, at least partially, the impact of symbiont loss. Specifically, the total amino acid content in the tissues of aposymbiotic aphids was reduced by approximately 40% to levels comparable with symbiotic insects, and there was a 1.7-fold increase in the number of embryos, suggesting that the availability of essential amino acids promotes aphid protein synthesis by rejuvenating the free amino acid pool of aposymbiotic aphids. In addition, a similar effect on the total amino acid content was observed when phenylalanine alone, but not glutamine, lysine or tryptophan, was injected into the haemocoel of aposymbiotic aphids, and there was also a significant increase in the number of embryos following injection of phenylalanine or tryptophan alone. The impact of amino acid injection on the embryo complement of aposymbiotic aphids was limited to an increase in the number of embryos, with no increase in basal embryo size. It is proposed that older embryos may rely on their own complement of symbiotic bacteria for essential amino acid provisioning. Taken together, the data highlight the importance of bacterial provisioning of essential amino acids, particularly the aromatic amino acids, in the intact symbiosis. 相似文献

细胞色素P450在各种内源和外源物质代谢中起着非常重要的作用。利用豌豆蚜Acyrthosiphon pisum基因组mRNA和氨基酸数据库研究P450基因功能的进化规律。通过生物信息学方法对豌豆蚜全基因组P450进行分析, 结果显示: 在豌豆蚜基因组中发现69个P450基因, 它们分别属于13个P450家族和18个亚家族, 是一个典型的多基因家族。进一步将这些基因与豌豆蚜ESTs数据库进行了比对分析, 其中39个候选基因有EST证据, 证明了这些P450基因在转录水平的真实性。以氨基酸相似度大于60%为标准对豌豆蚜基因组中P450基因进行分组, 69个P450基因中, 除18个基因序列因差异太大, 不能被归入任何一组, 其余51个可归入10个组, 其中8个组(包含47条序列)适合于正选择和基因转换分析。正选择和基因转换分析结果表明: 仅有1个组(含9个基因)显著受到正选择压力作用, 正选择概率大于95%的氨基酸位点分别是20T和27N, 20T位于底物识别位点SRS1, 27N位于D. helix; 有3个组(包含8个基因)显示显著的基因转换事件。 参与基因转换的基因均为CYP4家族成员, 分别是CYP4C , CYP4G 和CYP4V亚家族。 参与基因转换的成员之间的蛋白相似度较高(70%~95%), 且XM_001944991与XM_001951794同存在于SCAFFOLD12542上, XM_001945510与XM_001944057同存在于SCAFFOLD7010上。这可能暗示豌豆蚜P450基因通过基因复制, 然后通过基因转换使P450获得新的功能, 以适应多变的生存环境。此外, 鉴定出20个不同的基序, 其中有5条基序在90%以上的基因中出现。 相似文献

Immediately after their stylets penetrate a phloem sieve element, aphids inject saliva into the sieve element for approximately 30–60 s before they begin to ingest phloem sap. This salivation period is recorded as waveform E1 in electrical penetration graph (EPG) monitoring of aphid feeding behavior. It has been hypothesized that the function of this initial period of phloem salivation is to reverse or prevent plugging of the sieve element by one of the plant's phloem defenses: formation of P‐protein plugs or callose synthesis in the sieve pores that connect adjacent sieve elements. This hypothesis was tested using the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), and faba bean, Vicia faba L. (Fabaceae), as a model system, and the results do not support the hypothesis. In legumes, such as faba bean, P‐protein plugs in sieve elements are formed by dispersal of proteinaceous bodies called forisomes. Contrary to the hypothesis, the great majority of sieve element penetrations by pea aphid stylets do not trigger forisome dispersal. Thirteen sieve elements were cryofixed early in phloem phase before the aphids could complete their salivation period and the forisomes were not dispersed in any of the 13 samples. However, in these samples, the aphids completed on average a little over half of their normal E1 salivation period before they were cryofixed. Thus, it is possible that sieve element penetration triggered forisome dispersal in these samples but the abbreviated period of salivation was still sufficient to reverse dispersal. To rule out this possibility, 17 sieve elements were cryofixed during R‐pds, which are an EPG waveform associated with sieve element penetration but without the characteristic E1 salivation that occurs during phloem phase. In 16 of the 17 samples, the forisomes were not dispersed. Thus, faba bean sieve elements usually do not form P‐protein plugs in response to penetration by pea aphid stylets. Consequently, the characteristic E1 salivation that occurs at the start of each phloem phase does not seem to be necessary to prevent a plugging response because penetration of sieve elements during R‐pds does not trigger forisome dispersal despite the absence of E1 salivation. Furthermore, as P‐protein plugs do not normally form in response to sieve element penetration, E1 salivation that occurs at the start of each phloem phase is not a response to development of a P‐protein plug. Thus, the E1 salivation period at the beginning of the phloem phase appears to have function(s) unrelated to phloem sealing. 相似文献

The performances of three clones of pea aphids, with different host affiliations, were evaluated on four host plants species and on four artificial diets. The amino acid compositions of the diets mimicked those of the phloem sap of the respective host plants. The total concentration of amino acids was the same in all the diets. The pea aphid clones performance were significantly affected by amino acid composition of the diets in different ways, implying physiological and/or behavioural differences among coexisting pea aphid clones in response to amino acids in artificial diets. The observed differences in performance on diets between clones were not related to host plant affiliations. Thus, even if the variation in amino acid composition in phloem sap among the host plants affects the pea aphid clones when tested on artificial diets, this variation has no observable effect on pea aphid performance on natural host plants. 相似文献

Here, we examine the effect of saccharin on the induction of systemic resistance in broad bean (Vicia faba) to the rust fungus Uromyces viciae-fabae. Saccharin was applied to beans at the three-leaf stage, either as a soil drench or by painting the solution on to first leaves. Plants were then challenge inoculated with the rust 1, 6, 10 and 14 d following saccharin treatment, after which they were harvested, assessed for the intensity of rust infection and plant growth measurements conducted. Foliar application of saccharin did not induce systemic protection to rust infection until 14 d after application and was less effective than saccharin applied as a soil drench. When saccharin was applied as a drench, systemic protection was not observed until 6 d after application, but was still apparent in plants 14 d after application of the drench. Irrespective of the method of application, saccharin had no significant effect on fresh and dry weights or leaf area of the plants. Saccharin applied as a drench did, however, reduce the number of leaflets produced. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Insect damage to plants leads to wound-activated responses directed to healing of damaged tissues, as well as activation of defences to prevent further insect damage. Negative cross-talk exists between the jasmonic acid-based signalling system that is activated upon insect attack and the salicylic acid-based system frequently activated following pathogen infection. Thus, insect attack may compromise the ability of the plant to defend itself against pathogens and vice versa. However, insect herbivory and mechanical wounding have been shown to reduce fungal infections on some plants, although the underlying mechanisms remain to be defined. This work examines the effects of mechanical wounding on rust infection both locally and systemically in the broad bean, Vicia faba and follows changes in oxylipins in wounded leaves and unwounded leaves on wounded plants. METHODS: The lamina of first leaves was wounded by crushing with forceps, and first and second leaves were then inoculated, separately, with the rust Uromyces fabae at various times over a 24 h period. Wounded first leaves and unwounded second leaves were harvested at intervals over a 24 h period and used for analysis of oxylipin profiles. KEY RESULTS Mechanical wounding of first leaves of broad bean led to significantly reduced rust infection in the wounded first leaf as well as the unwounded second leaf. Increased resistance to infection was induced in plants inoculated with rust just 1 h after wounding and was accompanied by rapid and significant accumulation of jasmonic acid and two trihydroxy oxylipins in both wounded first leaves and unwounded second leaves. The two trihydroxy oxylipins were found to possess antifungal properties, reducing germination of rust spores. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the rapidity with which resistance to pathogen infection can be induced following wounding and provides a possible mechanism by which pathogen infection might be halted. 相似文献
