Host-based genetic differentiation in the aphid Aphis gossypii Glover, evidenced from RAPD fingerprints 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Samples of the aphid Aphis gossypii (Glover) were collected from different host plants at 18 locations in southern France, La Réunion, Portugal and Laos. RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) patterns of the 480 aphids were obtained using three random primers. A large number of RAPD bands were shared by all aphids of the 18 populations, but some RAPD bands appeared to be population specific. Over all aphids, a total of 37 polymorphic bands were identified and defined 142 RAPD phenotypes. A cluster analysis based on genetic distance revealed that the 18 aphid populations were divided into two groups, depending on whether they were collected on a cucurbit host plant. An analysis of molecular variance ( AMOVA ) was also performed and confirmed the differentiation into two groups. Several RAPD bands that were obtained using random primer A11 could be considered as diagnostic loci as they were fixed in populations collected on cucurbits and were always absent in those collected on noncucurbit host plants. These results represent the first evidence for genetic structuring within the species A. gossypii , according to host-plant type. 相似文献

The study of intraspecific variation with respect to host plant utilization in polyphagous insects is crucial for understanding evolutionary patterns of insect-plant interactions. Aphis gossypii (Glover) is a cosmopolitan and extremely polyphagous aphid species. If host plant species or families constitute selective regimes to these aphids, genetic differentiation and host associated adaptation may occur. In this study, we describe the genetic structure of A. gossypii collected in six localities in Tunisia on different vegetable crops, on citrus trees and on Hibiscus. The aim was to determine if the aphid populations are structured in relation to the host plants and if such differentiation is consistent among localities. The genetic variability of A. gossypii samples was examined at eight microsatellite loci. We identified only 11 multilocus genotypes among 559 individuals. Significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, linkage disequilibria and absence of recombinant genotypes, confirmed that A. gossypii reproduces by continuous apomictic parthenogenesis. Genetic differentiation between localities was not significant, whereas a strong differentiation was observed between host plant families (0.175相似文献

In small glasshouses, aqueous sprays of spores of the entomopathogenic fungus, Verticillium lecanii , eliminated small populations of the aphid Brachycaudus helichrysi in the vegetative tips of chrysanthemum plants but not when they were in an exposed position on mature flower buds. Control of the chrysanthemum aphid, Macrosiphoniella sanborni , was however variable and usually commercially unsatisfactory. In contrast, in both small and large glasshouses, sparse populations of the major aphid pest Myzus persicae were successfully and consistently controlled, sometimes spectacularly. The inherent susceptibilities of these aphid species, measured by laboratory bioassay, did not account for the differences in control observed in the glasshouse. It is thought that a combination of species-characteristic feeding site preferences on the exposed parts of plants, where microclimate humidity was probably low, and relative immobility of M. sanborni and B. helichrysi explain why these aphids were less well-controlled than My. persicae . However, it should be possible to control satisfactorily all aphid species in large commercial glasshouses where humidity might be higher than in the small experimental glasshouses. A single spray was sufficient to introduce infection that controlled aphids for the duration of the crop. 相似文献

Many plant-feeding insect species considered to be polyphagous are in fact composed of genetically differentiated sympatric populations that use different hosts and between which gene flow still exists. We studied the population genetic structure of the cotton-melon aphid Aphis gossypii that is considered as one of the most polyphagous aphid species. We used eight microsatellites to analyse the genetic diversity of numerous samples of A. gossypii collected over several years at a large geographical scale on annual crops from different plant families. The number of multilocus genotypes detected was extremely low and the genotypes were found to be associated with host plants. Five host races were unambiguously identified (Cucurbitaceae, cotton, eggplant, potato and chili- or sweet pepper). These host races were dominated by asexual clones. Plant transfer experiments using several specialized clones further confirmed the existence of host-associated trade-offs. Finally, both genetic and experimental data suggested that plants of the genus Hibiscus may be used as refuge for the specialized clones. Resource abundance is discussed as a key factor involved in the process of ecological specialization in A. gossypii. 相似文献

Phytophagous insects with wide host ranges often exhibit host‐associated genetic structure. We used microsatellite analysis to assess the population structure of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae), a serious pest on many economically important crops worldwide. We sampled aphids from five host plant species in Iran and detected strong population subdivision, with an overall multilocus FST of 0.191. The matrix of pairwise FST values indicated that differentiation between populations collected from different hosts was significantly stronger than between populations from the same hosts. Host‐associated differentiation was further supported by Bayesian clustering analyses, which grouped all samples from cotton together with aubergine, and all samples from cucumber together with pumpkin and hibiscus. This adds to the growing body of evidence that many seemingly generalist aphids are in fact an assemblage of host‐specialized lineages. Although we detected a clear genetic signature of clonal reproduction, the genotypic diversity of A. gossypii in Iran is much higher than in other parts of the world. Particularly samples from cotton exhibited a surprisingly high genotypic diversity, suggesting that many lineages on this host are cyclical parthenogens that engage in regular bouts of sexual reproduction. 相似文献

1 Sitobion avenae (F.) is a serious pest in Danish cereal crops. To understand the population genetic structure, aphids were sampled in seven different winter wheat (Triticum sativum Lamarck) fields throughout Denmark. The aphids were genotyped with seven microsatellite markers. In total, 2075 aphids were collected and 1203 of these were genotyped. 2 The Danish S. avenae populations displayed very high genotypic diversity, high percentages of unique genotypes and low linkage disequilibria; this is likely to be a result of genetic recombination encompassed by their holocyclic lifestyle. The populations showed very limited differentiation and no sign of isolation by distance. Almost all the genetic variation was ascribed within the populations rather than between populations, probably due to a high migration rate at approximate 10% per generation. 3 Seasonal changes in clonal diversity and distribution of asexual summer generations of S. avenae within the infestation period in a single winter wheat field were followed over two consecutive years by weekly sampling from 60 plots each of 20 × 20 m. Clonal diversity was high in all samples with no dominant clonal lineages and no significant difference in the genotypic diversity between weeks or between years. However, a temporal genetic differentiation effect, throughout the infestation, suggests that selective factors or high temporal migration play an important role in shaping the genetic structure S. avenae. 4 Analyses of fungal infected and uninfected aphids were performed to test whether some clonal linage were more often infected by fungi from the Entomophthorales under field conditions. In total, 54 progeny from aphids with Entomophthorales were genotyped and compared with 422 uninfected aphid genotypes. The Entomophthorales‐infected aphid genotypes did not cluster out together, suggesting that these fungal pathogens did not affect the population differentiation or clonal distribution of S. avenae in a Danish agroecosystem. 5 Our findings indicate that S. avenae populations can be controlled using conservation biological control 相似文献

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied on 96 clones of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae) representing seven populations collected from different host-plants and regions of Greece. Ten decamer random primers were used to evaluate genetic variation among the examined samples. Despite the variability found between clones, no specific RAPD marker was detected to discriminate the different populations. A significant finding was that aphids from peach and pepper, which were collected far away from tobacco-growing regions, especially those from peach, showed genetic divergence from the tobacco-feeding clones. Moreover, data analysis revealed a significant genetic divergence between holocyclic and anholocyclic populations from tobacco. Lastly, holocyclic clones showed higher level of estimated heterozygosity than the nonholocyclic (anholocyclic, androcyclic and intermediate) ones. 相似文献

Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) have been the focus of several studies with respect to their interactions with inherited symbionts, but bacterial communities of most aphid species are still poorly characterized. In this research, we used bar-coded pyrosequencing to characterize bacterial communities in aphids. Specifically, we examined the diversity of bacteria in two obligately parthenogenetic aphid species (the melon aphid, Aphis gossypii, and the cardamom aphid, Pentalonia caladii) cocolonizing two plant species (taro, Colocasia esculenta, and ginger, Alpinia purpurata) across four Hawaiian Islands (Hawaii, Kauai, Maui, and Oahu). Results from this study revealed that heritable symbionts dominated the bacterial communities for both aphid species. The bacterial communities differed significantly between the two species, and A. gossypii harbored a more diverse bacterial community than P. caladii. The bacterial communities also differed across aphid populations sampled from the different islands; however, communities did not differ between aphids collected from the two host plants. 相似文献

The cucurbit aphid–borne yellows virus (CABYV) is a new tentative member of the luteovirus group which is transmitted persistently by Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii.
In muskmelon plants, mixed infection with CABYV and zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) induced an increase in CABYV concentration estimated by double antibody sandwich–enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS–ELISA), which was maximum after 3 weeks, of co–infection.
Assays, conducted with other cucurbit hosts and sap–transmissible viruses showed that a similar increase occurred with most of the potyviruses tested. However, cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and squash mosaic virus (SqMV) were inefficient for less efficient than potyviruses) in increasing CABYV concentration.
Aphid transmission experiments were conducted to check whether increased virus multiplication could either enhance transmission rates or modify the mode of CABYV acquisition by aphids. However, when A. gossypii was used, no increases in CABYV, transmissibility nor in its acquisition mode were detected. 相似文献

Based largely on analogy with latitudinal trends in species diversity, it has been proposed that levels of genotypic (clonal) diversity in parthenogenetic populations from high latitudes should be lower than those in populations from the temperate zone or the tropics. Prior studies have shown that low-arctic populations of obligately asexual Daphnia pulex are less clonally diverse than temperate-zone populations. To test for the existence of a latitudinal trend, an allozymic survey of obligately parthenogenetic populations of D. pulex was conducted at a site in the Canadian high-arctic. The study revealed the presence of 75 clones in 179 tundra ponds that were surveyed. On average, 4.5 clones coexisted in single ponds with a range of 1–14 clones. These diversity values are as great (or greater) than those observed in more southerly populations and conflict with the notion of reduced levels of genetic variation in arctic populations. Mechanisms that may influence genetic (clonal) diversity in apomictic complexes are discussed. 相似文献

The genetic structure of black abalone populations in the southern California Islands and central California coast was investigated by protein electrophoresis. Detailed sampling of San Nicolas Island (SN) permitted investigation of microgeographic genetic differentiation among local geomorphological features. In addition, temporal genetic differentiation was assessed by comparing juveniles and adults at three islands, San Miguel (SM), Santa Cruz (SC) and San Nicolas (SN). Mainland and island locations were genetically differentiated based on allele frequency differences and the presence of private alleles in some island populations. Although microgeographic genetic structure among sites on SN was weak and not statistically significant, heterozygosity varied among sites, with diversity decreasing from west to east. In addition, investigation among cohorts showed that adults were genetically differentiated among island locations, whereas no differences among juveniles were detected. Genetic differentiation between adult and juvenile abalones was detected at SC but not SM or SN. These data are generally consistent with local recruitment augmented by relatively more gene flow among island populations than among island and mainland populations, and possible selection acting on immigrant recruits. 相似文献

Field populations of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, are structured into geographically widespread host races. In the cotton-producing regions of West and Central Africa (WCA), two genotypes have been repeatedly detected within the cotton host race, one of which (Burk1) is prevalent (>90%) and resistant to several insecticides, as opposed to the second one (Ivo). Here, we conducted whole plant and field cage experiments to test hypotheses for such low genetic diversity, including selection from insecticide treatments, interclonal competition and adaptation to host plant, or climatic conditions. To assess the genetic diversity of immigrant aphids, alatae were trapped and collected on cotton and relay host plants (okra and roselle) in the early cropping season. Individuals were genotyped at eight specific microsatellite loci and characterized by a multilocus genotype (MLG). When independently transferred from cotton (Gossypium hirustum L.) leaf discs to whole plants (G. hirsutum and G. arboreum, roselle and okra), Ivo and Burk1 performed equally well. When concurrently transferred from cotton leaf discs to the same plant species, Ivo performed better than Burk1, indicating that competition favoured Ivo. This was also the case on G. hirsutum growing outdoors. Conversely, Burk1 prevailed when cotton plants were sprayed with insecticides. In experiments where aphids were allowed to move to neighbouring plants, Burk1 was better represented than Ivo on low-populated plants, suggesting that dispersal may be a way to avoid competition on crowded plants. Most cotton aphids collected on cotton or relay host plants in the early cropping season were Burk1 (>90%), indicating high dispersal ability and, probably reflecting high frequency on host plants from which they dispersed. In the agricultural landscape of WCA, the use of broad-range insecticides on both cotton and relay host plants has led to the prevalence of one genotype of A. gossypii resistant to different classes of insecticides. Deployment of widespread and integrated pest management strategies are needed to restore cotton aphid control. 相似文献

We examined the genetic structure of natural populations of the European wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus at the microgeographic (<3 km) and macrogeographic (>30 km) scales. Ecological and behavioural studies indicate that this species exhibits considerable dispersal relative to its home-range size. Thus, there is potential for high gene flow over larger geographic areas. As levels of population genetic structure are related to gene flow, we hypothesized that population genetic structuring at the microgeographic level should be negligible, increasing only with geographic distance. To test this, four sites were sampled within a microgeographic scale with two additional samples at the macrogeographic level. Individuals ( n =415) were screened and analysed for seven polymorphic microsatellite loci. Contrary to our hypothesis, significant levels of population structuring were detected at both scales. Comparing genetic differentiation with geographic distance suggests increasing genetic isolation with distance. However, this distance effect was non-significant being confounded by surprisingly high levels of differentiation among microgeographic samples. We attribute this pattern of genetic differentiation to the effect of habitat fragmentation, splitting large populations into components with small effective population sizes resulting in enhanced genetic drift. Our results indicate that it is incorrect to assume genetic homogeneity among populations even where there is no evidence of physical barriers and dispersal can occur freely. In the case of A. sylvaticus , it is not clear whether dispersal does not occur across habitat barriers or behavioural dispersal occurs without consequent gene flow. 相似文献

The potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) is a major pest of several economic crops in Tunisia. Using 10 microsatellites, we analyzed five populations of M. euphorbiae sampled during the 2004-2005 solanaceous and cucurbit season (April through September) from five geographic origins. From 235 aphids, 61 different multilocus genotypes were identified of which three genotypes MLG1, MLG2, and MLG42 were predominant on all host plants and regions. MLG1 and MLG2 genotypes were detected in 2004 and did not reappear in spring 2005, while the genotype MLG42 was detected only in 2005. All populations showed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium even in data sets including one individual per genotype. χ(2) independence tests and analysis of molecular variance showed no significant differentiation among populations collected on different host plant and from different geographic origin, but differences between populations from two successive years were significant. Factorial component analysis corroborates these results. The probable causes of this seasonal variation were discussed. 相似文献

Individuals of the grain aphid Sitobion avenae were collected from wheat and cocksfoot stands around Hampshire, UK, during March and April 1994. Eight wheat and eight cocksfoot aphid clones were chosen on the basis of readily distinguishable RAPD-PCR fingerprint profiles. The performances (weight, fecundity and survival) of successive generations of each of these clones were then carefully monitored in the laboratory as new generations of aphids were transferred either to winter wheat or to cocksfoot in planned sequences. Even those clones that were originally caught on the same host showed significant variability in performance. Clones generally performed better on their host of origin than they did on the alternate host, and they performed less well on the alternate host compared to the clones that had originated there. A comparison of the performance of third generation aphids with first generation aphids showed that the experience of the mother in the second generation often influences the subsequent performance of their offspring. As the sequence of host transfers had more effect on the performance of wheat clones than cocksfoot clones, it is likely that wheat clones are more specialised, such that wheat is a satisfactory host for cocksfoot clones but not vice versa. The study provides evidence of genetic variation in performance on host and evidence for clonal adaptation to particular host species. This adaptation may well be a major cause of the observed consistent genetic differentiability of populations of S. avenae found on wheat and roadside grasses in early spring in southern England. 相似文献

Temporal dynamics of genotypic diversity reveal strong clonal selection in the aphid Myzus persicae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Vorburger C 《Journal of evolutionary biology》2006,19(1):97-107
Parthenogenetic organisms often harbour substantial genotypic diversity. This diversity may be the result of recurrent formations of new clones, or it may be maintained by environmental heterogeneity acting on ecological differences among clones. In aphids, both processes may be important because obligate and cyclical parthenogens can form mixed populations. Using microsatellites, I analysed the temporal dynamics of clonal diversity in such a population of the aphid Myzus persicae over a 1-year period. The frequency distribution of clonal genotypes was very skewed, with many rare and few common clones. The relative frequencies of common clones underwent strong and rapid changes indicative of intense clonal selection. Differences in their host associations suggest that these shifts may partly be caused by changes in the abundance of annual host plants. Other selective factors of potential importance are also discussed. New, sexually produced genotypes made a minor contribution to clonal diversity, consistent with the observed heterozygote excess characteristic of predominantly asexual populations in M. persicae. 相似文献

Flowering occurrence and allozymic variation were studied in eight local populations of Lemna minor in eastern Ontario, Canada. After 2 years of survey, not a single flower was observed. This absence of flowering suggests the possibility of loss of sexual reproduction. This may have had no net adverse effect on fitness given the simple life history and prolific vegetative propagation in L. minor. However, the absence of sexual reproduction may limit genotypic diversity. The allozymic analysis detected 18 loci from 13 enzyme systems. Large deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were common because of an excess of homozygotes for several enzyme systems. The genotypic diversity within these eight populations had a mean D value of 0.973 with an average number of genotypes per population of 19.6. These results suggest that genotypic diversity within these populations is not severely limited by the rarity of sexual reproduction. The mean genotypic distance index (D14 = 0.801) suggests a high degree of differentiation between populations. The mean number of populations per genotype was 1.78. Using a Mantel test, the genotypic distance matrix was not significantly related to the population-to-population distance matrix (t = -0.161, P = 0.413). Although rare events of sexual reproduction may help maintain genetic variation, somatic mutations and multiple origins of clones may be important factors maintaining genetic diversity both within and between populations of L. minor. 相似文献

Studies on clonal plants indicate that the proportion between clonal and sexual reproduction can be variable, depending on local habitat conditions and the biological characteristics of the species. In the present study, we assessed this question in Trifolium alpestre by assaying genetic diversity and spatial genotypic structure of natural populations with the use of allozyme markers. Populations revealed high genetic diversity as well as strong spatial structure of multilocus genotypes. The values of genetic diversity were moderately high. Spatially aggregated, identical genotypes spread up to 15 m along linear transects and across 4‐m2 plots indicate extensive clonal propagation within populations. However, the existence of numerous unique and small‐sized clones reflects significant contribution from sexual reproduction. Spatially and temporarily stochastic soil disturbances have evidently opened new opportunities for the successful sexual recruitment from the permanent soil seed bank and thus counteracted losses of genetic and genotypic diversity. Seed production in all populations during the three study years was low, in average up to 1.5–2.4 seeds per shoot. The almost total lack of seed set for 57 bagged flower heads on genotypes grown in a common garden indicates that T. alpestre needs pollinators for seed production. 相似文献

Four aphidiine parasitoid species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were evaluated with respect to their potential to controlAphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae) in glasshouse cucumbers. In a laboratory experiment thirty cotton aphids were offered to individual
females for two hours.Aphidius matricariae Haliday parasitized less than six percent of the aphids and was ruled out as potential biological control agent.Ephedrus cerasicola Stary andLysiphlebus testaceipes Cresson parasitized 23 and 26 percent of the aphids, respectively.Aphidius colemani Viereck parasitized 72 to 80 percent of the aphids.
With the latter three species, experiments were performed in small glasshouses with cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L. cv. ‘Aramon’). As in the laboratory testA. colemani performed best; significantly more colonies were found and parasitization rates in the colonies were higher byA. colemani than byE. cerasicola andL. testaceipes.
Because of the good correspondence between laboratory and glasshouse experiments, it is suggested that bad performance of
an aphid parasitoid species in a simple laboratory trial might be sufficient evidence to disregard this species for further
tests. 相似文献
