Development and reproductive potential of the cereal aphid Sitobion avenae on resistant wheat lines (Triticum monococcum)

The effect of wheat resistance in lines of Triticum monococcum L., on the reproductive performances of the cereal aphid (Sitobion avenae F.) was investigated. Aphids were reared from birth to adult moult either on resistant or susceptible wheat lines, and transferred as apterae to both host genotypes. The influence of these transfers on the subsequent adult weight, gonad status and reproductive performances was evaluated. Aphids transferred from resistant to susceptible plants proved able to compensate for their poor nymphal growth, mainly through additional embryo growth and an increase in the number of matured embryos within the first 10 days of their adult life. Most aphids transferred from susceptible to resistant plants died within the first week following the transfer. Their most advanced embryos matured and were born, but subsequent embryo growth was quickly reduced. The reproductive strategies adopted by S. avenae when facing plant resistance, and the hypothesis of a resistant mechanism based on a poor nutritional state of the resistant plants are discussed.

Impact of intercropping aphid-resistant wheat cultivars withoilseed rape on wheat aphid (Sitobion avenae) and its natural enemies

The effects of intercropping of wheat cultivars and oilseed rape on the densities of wheat aphid, Sitobion avenae, and their arthropod natural enemies were evaluated. Three winter wheat cultivars with different resistant levels to S. avenae were used: ‘KOK’ (high resistance), ‘Xiaobaidongmai’ (low resistance) and ‘Hongmanghong’ (susceptible). The results showed that the densities of S. avenae were significantly higher on the monoculture pattern than on either the 8-2 intercropping pattern (eight rows of wheat with two rows of oilseed rape) or the 8-4 intercropping pattern (eight rows of wheat with four rows of oilseed rape). The mean number of predators and the mummy rates of S. avenae were significantly higher in two intercropping patterns than those in the monoculture pattern. The densities of S. avenae, ladybeetles, and mummy rate of S. avenae were significantly different among different wheat cultivars. The highest densities of S. avenae and ladybeetles were found on wheat cultivar Hongmanghong. The lowest densities of S. avenae associated with high mummy rate of S. avenae were found on wheat cultivar Xiaobaidongmai. The results showed that wheat-oilseed rape intercropping conserved more predators and parasitoids than in wheat monoculture fields, and partial resistance of wheat cultivar Xiaobaidongmai had complementary or even synergistic effects on parasitoid of S. avenae.     

Cold shock injury and ecological costs of rapid cold hardening in the grain aphid Sitobion avenae (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

The ability of first instar nymphs and newly moulted pre-reproductive adults of the grain aphid S. avenae to rapidly cold harden was investigated. When nymphs reared at 20 degrees C were transferred directly to -8 degrees C for 3 h, there was 18% survival. This exposure was selected as the discriminating temperature. Maximum increases in survival were achieved by acclimating nymphs for 2 h at 0 degrees C and adults for 3 h at 0 degrees C, resulting in survival of 83% and 68%, respectively. Cooling nymphs from 10 to 0 degrees C at different rates (1, 0.1 and 0.05 degrees C min(-1)) also increased cold hardiness, with the slowest rate of 0.05 degrees C min(-1) conferring the highest survival following exposure to the discriminating temperature. Adult aphids also expressed a rapid cold hardening response but to a lesser extent, with survival increasing from 16% to 68% following 3 h at 0 degrees C. There were no 'ecological costs' associated with rapid cold hardening in terms of development, longevity or fecundity. The data support the hypothesis that rapid cold hardening can be induced during the cooling phase of natural diurnal temperature cycles, allowing insects to track daily changes in environmental temperatures.     

Comparative proteome analysis of metabolic proteins from seeds of durum wheat (cv. Svevo) subjected to heat stress

In Central and Southern Italy, where durum wheat represents one of the most widely cultivated crops, grain filling occurs during Spring, a period characterized by sudden increases in temperature. Wheat grain proteins are classified into albumins, globulins, and prolamins. The nonprolamin fractions include proteins with metabolic activity or structural function. In order to investigate the consequences of heat stress on the accumulation of nonprolamin proteins in mature durum wheat kernels, the Italian cultivar Svevo was subjected to two thermal regimes (heat stress versus control). The 2‐D patterns of nonprolamin proteins were monitored to identify polypeptides affected by heat stress during grain fill. This study shows that heat stress alters significantly the durum wheat seed proteome, although the changes range is only between 1.2‐ and 2.2‐fold. This analysis revealed 132 differentially expressed polypeptides, 47 of which were identified by MALDI‐TOF and MALDI‐TOF‐TOF MS and included HSPs, proteins involved in the glycolysis and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as stress‐related proteins. Many of the heat‐induced polypeptides are considered to be allergenic for sensitive individuals.

Production of sexual morphs by the monoecious cereal aphid Sitobion avenae

The effects of photoperiod and temperature on the production of sexual forms by two clones of Sitobion avenae, the grain aphid, were examined. One clone did not produce sexual forms, whereas the other did under conditions of short light (<14 h) and low temperature (15°C). Temperature and photoperiod interacted to some extent both in the production of oviparae and of males. Even when the sexual forms were produced there was always a proportion of virginoparae.

Production de sexués par Sitobion avenae, puceron monoécique

Résumé Un clone de Sitobion avenae a produit sans difficulté jusqu'à 7 générations de sexués en réaction à des photopériodes courtes (<14 h) et à de faibles températures (15°C) tandis qu'un autre clone n'en produit aucune.La proportion de sexués différait suivant les parents. La production de mâles avait une nette tendance à apparaître lors des reproduction les plus tardives. Dans les générations tardives avec jours courts, les vivipares (virginopares et gynopares) avaient eu tendance à être produits à la fin de la période de reproduction.Les gynopares (c'est à dire les parents d'ovipares) de S. avenae étaient surtout aptères, mais comprenaient beaucoup plus d'ailés que les virginopares obtenus dans les mêmes conditions. Un vivipare était induit comme gynopare (ou ses embryons étaient déterminés comme ovipares) avant la naissance, mais cette détermination pouvait apparemment encore être inversée en soumettant l'insecte à de longues photopériodes et à de hautes températures jusqu'à deux jours après la naissance.Aucun S. avenae ovipare n'a été produit jusqu'à la troisième génération. Aucun ovipare n'a été produit avec des photopériodes supérieures à 13 H 30 à 10°C, 13 H à 15°C et 8 H à 20°C. La proportion d'individus produisant des ovipares à 15°C a été plus faible qu'à 10°C pour toutes les photopériodes, et à cette dernière température beaucoup plus de vivipares étaient gynopares que virginopares.Les basses températures ont été vraisemblablement le facteur dominant de stimulation de la production de mâles de S. avenae, mais cependant il semble qu'un plus grand nombre de mâles a été produit aux températures et photopériodes intermédiaires qu'aux extrêmes.La capture de mâles ailés de S. avenae dans des pièges à succion a été généralement limitée à Octobre-soit à peu prés le moment prévu par les expériences de laboratoire. Des mâles de S. avenae sont aussi capturés fréquemment et été, ce qui peut être lié à des hivers précédents doux.

     

Predation of the cereal aphid Sitobion avenae by polyphagous predators on the ground

Abstract. 1. Polyphagous predator densities were manipulated in a wheat crop using polythene exclusion barriers.
2. The rates at which aphids fell to the ground and subsequently climbed and returned to the crop canopy were measured.
3. Peak aphid density was highest when polyphagous predator density was lowest.
4. Similar rates of aphid fall-off were measured in each plot, but aphid climbing rate was highest when predator densities were lowest.
5. It was concluded that ground-zone predators reduced the rate at which aphids return to the crop canopy.     

Biochemical basis of winter wheat resistance to the grain aphid, Sitobion avenae

Six winter wheat cultivars with differing degrees of resistance to the grain aphid, Sitobion avenae (F.), were studied under field conditions. Resistance was measured in terms of non-preference and antibiosis on plants at seven growth stages. The varieties Saga and Grana were most resistant in terms of both non-preference and antibiosis to S. avenae at all growth stages examined. The varieties Liwilla and Dana were relatively susceptible to aphid attack. The number of aphids was directly proportional to the total content of free and essential amino acids. The level of resistance showed a similar, but not identical, relationship with the observed concentration of soluble proteins. A higher degree of cultivar resistance was associated with a higher value on a toxicity index, which is the ratio between the free-phenols and free-amino acids content. Obtained results suggest that the resistance of winter wheat cultivars to the grain aphid was based mainly on the mechanism of antibiosis.

Résumé Six cultivars de blé d'hiver, présentant différents degrés de résistance au puceron des grains, S. avenae, ont été étudiés dans la nature. La résistance a été évaluée en fonction de l'antibiose et de l'absence de préférence de plantes à 7 stades de développement. Les variétés Saga et Grana ont été les plus résistantes, suivant ces deux critères, pour tous les stades de puceron étudiés. Les variétés Liwilla et Dana ont été relativement sensibles. Les effectifs de pucerons étaient proportionnels à la teneur totale en acides aminés libres essentiels. Les concentrations en protéines solubles présentent une relation de même type, mais pas identique, avec le niveau de résistance. Un haut degré de résistance a été associé à une valeur élevée de l'indice de toxicité, rapport entre les phénols libres et la teneur en acides aminés libres. Ces résultats suggèrent une résistance des cultivars de blé d'hiver à S. avenae liée principalement aux mécanismes d'antibiose.

     

Insight into watery saliva proteomes of the grain aphid,Sitobion avenae

The grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is an economically important cereal pest worldwide. Aphid saliva plays an essential role in the interaction between aphids and their host plants. However, limited information is available regarding the proteins found in the saliva of S. avenae. Here, the watery saliva proteins from S. avenae were collected in an artificial diet and identified using a liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry analysis. A total of 114 proteins were identified in S. avenae saliva, including several enzymes, binding proteins, and putative effectors, as well as other proteins with unknown functions. In comparison with salivary proteins from nine other aphid species, the most striking feature of the salivary protein from S. avenae was the different patterns of protein functions. Several orthologous proteins secreted by other aphid species such as glucose dehydrogenase, elongation factors, and effector C002 were also detected in S. avenae saliva and speculated to play a significant role in aphid–plant interactions. These results provide further insight into the molecular basis between aphids and cereal plant interactions.     

外源化合物诱导后小麦对麦长管蚜和粘虫的抗虫性研究

喷施外源化合物和昆虫取食均可诱导小麦的防御反应,如挥发物组成发生改变、某些次生物质含量增加或减少,进而影响昆虫和天敌的行为反应。本实验中小麦苗经茉莉酸或几丁质喷施诱导,可显著提高小麦中丁布的含量,但茉莉酸甲酯的诱导作用不明显。喷施茉莉酸及麦长管蚜或粘虫取食诱导小麦,会导致小麦挥发物的种类及含量与对照相比有显著不同,3种处理间小麦的挥发物也存在显著差异。用经茉莉酸处理的麦苗饲养麦长管蚜和粘虫,可显著抑制二者的生长发育速度,使体重减轻,并导致麦长管蚜繁殖力下降。经茉莉酸处理的麦苗的挥发物对粘虫寄生蜂有吸引作用,表明茉莉酸在诱导小麦产生直接抗虫性的同时,还能诱导其释放吸引天敌的挥发性化合物从而产生间接抗性。     

Short-term forecasting of peak population density of the grain aphid (Sitobion avenae) on wheat

The trends in population density of Sitobion avenae in wheat fields were analysed for a total of 32 sites over the period 1975 to 1983 in eastern England and the Netherlands. The peak population density on each field was positively correlated with the population densities at the end of ear emergence, mid-anthesis and the end of anthesis. It was also positively correlated with the observed rates of increase of the aphids on the crop immediately before these stages. Both parameters were incorporated in multiple regressions to forecast peak population density, and data from a further nine populations monitored in 1984 was used to validate the model. The accuracy of these forecasts, based on two counts on the crop, increased from ear emergence to the end of anthesis, the forecast at mid-anthesis of peak density being much more accurate than any other published method.     

Effects of hydroxamic acids on the resistance of wheat to the aphid Sitobion avenae

Resistance to the aphid Sitobion avenae F. was assessed on six wheat cultivars of known concentrations of total hydroxamic acids. A range of values for intrinsic rate of increase (r_m) were obtained, 96% of the variation in which was explained by acid concentrations. Of the components of r_m, age-specific fecundity was the most significant factor contributing to resistance.     

Repellent activity of Nepeta grandiflora and Nepeta clarkei (Lamiaceae) against the cereal aphid,Sitobion avenae (Homoptera: Aphididae)

Nepeta spp. (Lamiaceae) contain principally the nepetalactone isomers (4aS,7S,7aR) and (4aS,7S,7aS)-nepetalactone, which are also known to comprise aphid sex pheromones and aphid parasitoid attractants. Previous studies have shown that Nepeta cataria can be grown as a non-food crop for the commercial-scale production of (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone in high purity, thus removing requirement for highly demanding stereocontrolled synthesis. Furthermore, previous literature reports have suggested that Nepeta spp., other than the widely studied N. cataria, can produce a diverse range of natural products other than nepetalactones, including high value sesquiterpenes. Thus, with the aim of identifying alternative Nepeta spp. for production of high value semiochemicals, the essential oils of two readily available species, Nepeta grandiflora and N. clarkei, were collected by steam distillation and analysed using high resolution gas chromatography (GC) and coupled GC–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Analysis of the oils surprisingly revealed a very low nepetalactone content, but instead the presence of predominantly sesquiterpene compounds, and, for N. clarkei, the major component, geranyl acetate. Amongst the compounds identified in both oils was (S)-germacrene d, a previously reported potent arthropod repellent. To determine the potential crop protection value of these essential oils, the repellent activity of the oils was assessed using a four-way olfactometer assay, with both oils showing strong repellent effects. These findings illustrate that members of the Nepeta genus possess a diverse range of high value secondary metabolites, and also highlight their potential to be developed as renewable feedstocks for the production of repellents for use economically important crop pests, as well as for the production of sex pheromones and natural enemy attractants.     

An integrative proteome analysis of different seedling organs in tolerant and sensitive wheat cultivars under drought stress and recovery

Roots, leaves, and intermediate sections between roots and leaves (ISRL) of wheat seedlings show different physiological functions at the protein level. We performed the first integrative proteomic analysis of different tissues of the drought‐tolerant wheat cultivar Hanxuan 10 (HX‐10) and drought‐sensitive cultivar Chinese Spring (CS) during a simulated drought and recovery. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the roots (122), ISRLs (146), and leaves (163) showed significant changes in expression in response to drought stress and recovery. Numerous DEPs associated with cell defense and detoxifications were significantly regulated in roots and ISRLs, while in leaves, DEPs related to photosynthesis showed significant changes in expression. A significantly larger number of DEPs related to stress defense were upregulated in HX‐10 than in CS. Expression of six HSPs potentially related to drought tolerance was significantly upregulated under drought conditions, and these proteins were involved in a complex protein–protein interaction network. Further phosphorylation analysis showed that the phosphorylation levels of HSP60, HSP90, and HOP were upregulated in HX‐10 under drought stress. We present an overview of metabolic pathways in wheat seedlings based on abscisic acid signaling and important protein expression patterns.     

Short-term forecasting of wheat yield loss caused by the grain aphid (Sitobion avenae) in summer

A damage model was used to take into account the effect on winter wheat yield of the size, duration and timing of Sitobion avenae infestation in summer, and the influence of insecticide applications. It was validated as far as possible using available data, and appeared to be sufficiently accurate to be useful. The model was applied to a total of 32 winter wheat fields over the period 1975 to 1983 in eastern England and the Netherlands, to obtain estimates of yield losses associated with not applying insecticides at the end of ear emergence (G.S. 59), mid-anthesis (G.S. 65) or the end of anthesis (G.S. 69). These estimates of future yield losses were related in multiple regressions to the number of S. avenae per tiller at the time the insecticide was applied, and the rate of population increase over the previous few days. Basing the decision about whether to apply insecticide on forecasts from the multiple regression equations appeared to be slightly more profitable than prophylactic spraying when the chemical cost alone was considered, but substantially more profitable when the application cost and wheeling loss were also taken into account. The strategy minimising losses involved forecasts at all three crop growth stages. It was validated using a further 21 fields studied in 1984 and 1985, and gave better results than the EPIPRE system, which over-estimated the number of fields requiring spraying, and the economic threshold of George & Gair (1979), which under-estimated the number requiring spraying. However, the accuracy of the damage model needs to be checked against measured yield losses in order to establish the success of the multiple regression strategy conclusively.     

Resistance of cereals to aphids: Interaction between hydroxamic acids and the aphid Sitobion avenae (Homoptera: Aphididae)

The hydroxamic acids in the seedlings of four varieties of winter wheat were extracted initially in boiling methanol in order to avoid enzymatic hydrolysis. The increase in numbers of aphids on these varieties of wheat were recorded. HPLC analysis of hydroxamic acids in the extracts showed the presence of DIMBOA-glucoside, DIMBOA-aglucone and its benzoxazolinone (MBOA). There was a highly significant negative correlation between the concentration of DIMBOA-aglucone in the seedlings and aphid performance. However, the association between aphid performance and DIMBOA-aglucone in the tips of the seedlings was weaker. In general aphid infestation of wheat seedlings slightly increased the concentration of all the hydroxamic acid derivatives. Moreover, aphids ingested hydroxamic acids and were able to detoxify some of the DIMBOA-aglucone they ingested.     

The effect of hydoroxamic acid concentration at late growth stages of wheat on the performance of the aphid Sitobion avenae

From a previous worldwide screen of wheat cultivars as seedings, five were selected to encompass a wide concentraiton range of the hydroxaminc acid DIMBOA (0.99-8.07 mmol Kg ^-1 fr. wt). Compared with those in seedings, the concentrations of DIMBOA in flag leaves of the same cultivars were relatively low (0.06-0.87 mmol kg^-1 fr. wt). Concentraions of hydroxamic acids in whole ears at anthesis and the early milk stage were even lower, ranging from undetectable to 0.05 mmol kg^-1 fr. wt. The three-day mean relaive growth rate (MRGR) was determined for nymphs of Sitobion avenace on the flag leaf (GS 39) and on the ear (GS 60-60) of the five cultivars. No significant differences in MRGR were found between cultivatrs at the same growth stage, although MRGR was higher on ears on than on flag leaces. The results are discussed in realtion to the potential of hydroxamic acids in programmses aimed at breeding mature-plant aphid resistance into wheat cultivars.
