Abstract The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, is a notorious pest on vegetables, which often aggregates in high densities on crop leaves. In this study, we investigated whether M. persicae could suppress the resistance level of Chinese cabbage Brassica pekinensis. M. persicae performed better in terms of weight gain (~33% increase) and population growth (~110% increase) when feeding on previously infested (pre-infested) Chinese cabbage compared with those on non-infested plants. However, when given a choice, 64% of the aphids preferred to settle on non-infested leaves, while 29% of aphids chose pre-infested leaves that had a 2.9 times higher concentration of glucosinolates. Aphid feeding significantly enhanced the amino acid:sugar ratio of phloem sap and the absolute amino acid concentration in plant leaves. Aphid infestation significantly increased the expression levels of salicylic acid (SA) marker genes, while it had marginal effects on the expression of jasmonate marker genes. Exogenously applied SA or methyl jasmonate had no significant effects on M. persicae performance, although these chemicals increased glucosinolates concentration in plant leaves. M. persicae infestation increase amino acid:sugar ratio and activate plant defenses, but aphid performed better on pre-infested plants, suggesting that both nutrition and toxics should be considered in insect-plant interaction.

Apterous adult Myzus persicae (Sulz.) of a glasshouse strain differed greatly in their ability to colonise sugar-beet according to the plant on which they and their forebears were cultured. Those from Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis) settled least readily on beet, whilst aphids from broad beans (Vicia faba) produced larger populations than those cultured on sugar-beet. When reared wholly on groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) young adults differed in their ability to colonise Chinese cabbage, sugar-beet and broad bean according to their parents' culture host species, and these differences were detected in a second generation reared wholly on groundsel. The responses of clones isolated from cultures maintained continuously on Chinese cabbage and broad bean were similar, showing that the effect was caused by the aphids' host-plant experience, and was not due to fixed, heritable characters of the sub-cultures. Some, but not all clones of M. persicae collected from the field showed enhanced colonising ability after culture on broad bean as compared with Chinese cabbage. This was apparent on sugar-beet and lettuce (Lactuca sativa). These effects of former hosts on the ability of M. persicae to colonise plants may be important both in work on resistance to aphids and in the epidemiology of aphid-borne diseases.

The activity and expression of sulfate transporters and adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (APS) reductase (APR) in plants are modulated by the plant sulfur status and the demand for growth. To elucidate regulatory mechanisms in Chinese cabbage [Brassica pekinensis (Lour.) Rupr.], the interactions between atmospheric H2S and sulfate nutrition and the impact on the activity and expression of the Group 1 sulfate transporters and APR were studied. At an ample sulfate supply, H2S exposure of Chinese cabbage resulted in a partial decrease of the sulfate uptake capacity, and at concentrations ≥0.25 μL L−1 a decreased expression of Sultr1;2 in the root and APR in the root and shoot. Upon sulfate deprivation there was a more than 3-fold increase in the sulfate uptake capacity of the root, accompanied by an induced expression of Sultr1;1 and an enhanced expression of Sultr1;2 in the root, along with an induction of Sultr1;2 in the shoot. The enhanced sulfate uptake capacity, the expression of the sulfate transporters in the root and the altered shoot-to-root partitioning appearing during sulfate deprivation were not alleviated upon H2S exposure and not rapidly affected by sulfate re-supply. Expression of APR was strongly enhanced in the root and shoot of sulfate-deprived plants and decreased again upon H2S exposure and sulfate re-supply. The significance of shoot-to-root interaction and sulfate and thiols as regulating signals in the activity and expression of Sultr1;1 and 1;2 is evaluated.
