AbstractMyzus persicae has severe economic impact on pepper (Capsicum) cultivation. Previously, we identified two populations of M. persicae, NL and SW, that were avirulent and virulent, respectively on C. baccatum accession PB2013071. The transcriptomics approach used in the current study, which is the first study to explore the pepper−aphid interaction at the whole genome gene expression level, revealed genes whose expression is differentially regulated in pepper accession PB2013071 upon infestation with these M. persicae populations. The NL population induced ROS production genes, while the SW population induced ROS scavenging genes and repressed ROS production genes. We also found that the SW population can induce the removal of ROS which accumulated in response to preinfestion with the NL population, and that preinfestation with the SW population significantly improved the performance of the NL population. This paper supports the hypothesis that M. persicae can overcome the resistance in accession PB2013071 probably because of its ability to manipulate plant defense response especially the ROS metabolism and such ability may benefit avirulent conspecific aphids.

The Cucumber aphid (Myzus persicae), a destructive cucumber aphid usually managed by chemical pesticides, is responsible for enormous annual agricultural losses. A protein elicitor, PeBL1, was investigated in the present work for its ability to induce a defense response against M. persicae in cucumber. The rates of population growth (Intrinsic rate of increase) of M. persicae (second and third generations) decreased with PeBL1-treated cucumber seedlings as compared to positive (water) and negative 70.58 μg mL−1 controls (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0). In an assay on host selection, M. persicae had a preference for colonizing control plants as compared to the PeBL1-treated cucumber seedlings. The nymphal development time of the aphid was extended with the PeBL1-treated cucumber seedlings. Likewise, fecundity was reduced, with less offspring produced in the PeBL1-treated cucumber seedlings as compared to the positive (water) and negative 70.58 μg mL−1 controls (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0). The cucumber leaves treated with PeBL1 had a hazardous surface environment for M. persicae, caused by trichomes and wax formation. Jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and ethylene (ET) levels were significantly higher, exhibiting significant accumulation in the PeBL1-treated cucumber seedlings. The following results showed that PeBL1 considerably altered the height of the cucumber plant and the surface structure of the leaves to minimize M. persicae reproduction, and it prevented colonization. Defensive processes also included the activation of pathways (JA, SA, and ET). This study provides evidence of biocontrol for the use of PeBL1 in cucumber defense against M. persicae.

Myzus persicae, a destructive aphid of tomato usually managed by chemical pesticides, is responsible for huge annual losses in agriculture. In the current work, a protein elicitor, PeBL1, was investigated for its capacity to induce a defense response against M. persicae in tomato. Population growth rates of M. persicae (second and third generation) decreased with PeBL1 treatments as compared with controls. In a host selection assay, M. persicae showed preference for colonizing control plants as compared to tomato seedlings treated with PeBL1. Tomato leaves treated with PeBL1 gave rise to a hazardous surface environment for M. persicae due to formation of trichomes and wax. Jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and ethylene (ET) showed significant accumulation in tomato seedlings treated by PeBL1. The following results showed that PeBL1 significantly modified the tomato leaf surface structure to reduce reproduction and deter colonization by M. persicae. Defense processes also included activation of JA, SA, and ET pathways. The study provides evidence for use of PeBL1 in the protection of tomato from M. persicae.

The mechanisms of transmission of potato viruses from plants to aphid vectors and from aphids to uninfected plants are described, including the example of the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae, GPA). Factors affecting the spreading of tuber necrosis and its manifestation on plants infected with potato leafroll virus (PLRV) are discussed. Recommendations for PLRV and GPA control in the field are given.

Существенным элементом в комплексе специальных и агротехнических приемов, направленных на ограничение распространения вирусной инфекции, является мониторинг численности, динамики и видового состава тлей, мигрирующих в посадках оригинального картофеля. Двухлетний мониторинг (2016 – 2017 гг.) на опытных полях Гатчинского района Ленинградской области проведен с использованием желтых водных ловушек Мёрике. Изучены количество тлей, сроки их миграции на посадки картофеля, сроки наступления пика численности. Наибольшее влияние на насекомых оказывала среднесуточная температура воздуха. За сезон наблюдений отловлено: в 2016 г. — 481 крылатая особь 31 вида, в 2017 г. — 131 особь 30 видов. Доля возможных переносчиков вирусов картофеля от общего числа зарегистрированных крылатых тлей составила в 2016 г. 14,8 %, в 2017 г. — 32,8 %. Оценка скрытой зараженности вирусной инфекцией (MBK, YBK вирусы) методом ИФА в 2015 – 2017 гг. показала, что на растениях картофеля сорта Ломоносовский скрытая зараженность составила 2,6 – 7,3 %, сорта Чародей — 1,9 – 13,3 %, сорта Невский — 0,8 – 10,5 %, сорта Романо — 4,1 – 9 %. Из известных переносчиков вирусов картофеля в оба года в энтомологических сборах с сосудов отмечены Aphis nasturtii — 6 – 12,2 %, Aphis fabae — 7,2 – 4,6 % от общего числа отловленных; Myzus persicae (13 %) в составе мигрирующей генерации тлей отмечены только в дождливом и прохладном 2017 г. В прогностических целях желательно пользоваться в регионе также данными со всасывающей ловушки, поскольку появление в ней насекомых отмечено на 10 – 12 дней раньше, чем на полях.
