Abstract Bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.) is the most abundant aphid species on cereals in Poland. It represents approximately 80% of all cereal aphids. Its anholocyclic forms are the most important vectors of Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV). These forms are new among the Polish population of R. padi. Their changes in development are the result of higher temperatures. High spring and summer temperatures initiate a change in the run of R. padi’s life cycle, which begins to reproduce by means of permanent parthenogenesis. In autumn, this aphid does not fly back to the primary host but inhabits wild grasses. It is in autumn that winter cereals emerge. This results in what appears to be a new problem because this viral infection spreads in warmer environmental conditions.

Susceptibility to barley yellow dwarf RPV (BYD – RPV) relative to BYD – PAV has been studied for 21 species of the genus Bromus. The following species belonging to sections Bromus (B. arvensis L., B. commutatus Shrad, B. danthoniae Trin., B. grossus Desf. ex DC. B. hordeaceus L., B. lanceolatus Roth., B. scoparius L.), Stenobromus (B. diandrus Roth., B. madritensis L., B. sterilis L., B. rubens L., B. tectorum L.), and Neobromus (B. trinii Desvaux) are all susceptible to BYD–RPV. Of the three species of the Pnigma section, B. erectus Hudson is susceptible to BYD–RPV, although the percentage of infected plants is low; B. setifolius Presl. is resistant to BYD–RPV; and the two biotypes of B. inermis Leyss. that were tested are both resistant to BYD–RPV. Most biotypes of the species in section Ceratochloa are resistant to BYD–RPV and susceptible to BYD–PAV. In B. catharticus Vahl. a few biotypes are also susceptible to both viruses. The resistance to BYD–RPV in different biotypes of Ceratochloa and in one biotype of B. setifolius cannot be explained by the resistance to the vector Rhopalosiphum padi L., as BYD – PAV is efficiently transmitted to these biotypes by the same aphid species. These results show that most biotypes of the species in section Ceratochloa are probably immune to BYD–RPV and that the virus has a restricted host range in the genus Bromus compared with BYD –PAV. Key words: BYDV, RPV, PAV, Bromus genus.

AbstractThe biology and pest status of Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) in Europe are critically reviewed. New data are presented and the temporal occurrence of the aphid and its host-plants considered. In Britain, R. padi is a pest mainly because of its ability to transmit virus diseases, in particular barley yellow dwarf virus. In other European countries, especially in Scandinavia, R. padi is a pest in its own right. Predator and parasite complexes in Britain and Finland are compared and contrasted. The occurrence of R. padi as a pest of cereals in Europe is compared with that of Sitobion avenae (F.) and Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker). It is postulated that the great abundance of the primary host of R. padi, bird cherry (Prunus padus), and the spring planting of cereals in colder climates such as in Finland are major factors contributing to the differences in pest status of this aphid between Britain and in Scandinavia.

Alate cereal aphids, Rhopalosiphum padi, R, maidis and Macrosiphum miscanthi avenae, caught in suction traps at Horsham and Burnley for two successive years (1977-78), were tested individually for infectivity with barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV). R. padi was most numerous, making up 73.1-98.7 % of the total number of cereal aphids trapped at either site in either year. 22.6-61.3 % of R. padi caught were infective, with a larger proportion infective at Horsham than at Burnley in both years. 9.4.43-5 % of M. miscanthi avenae were infective, but there was little difference in the proportion infective between sites. R. maidis were trapped only at Burnley, and only in 1978 were they infective, when 7.8 % transmitted BYDV to test plants. Seasonal variation in the catches of R. padi differed at the two sites. At Horsham most aphids were trapped from August to October, whereas at Burnley most were caught from March to November.

AbstractEnergy dispersive X-ray spectrometry was used to make quantitative determinations of the elemental composition of plasma-ashed apterous and alate individuals of Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker) and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.). Both morphs of M. dirhodum were reared on wheat grown in potting compost as were the morphs of R. padi but the latter were reared also on oats, free from or infected with barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), grown in potting compost. The data were statistically analysed by various multivariate methods, which demonstrated that alatae of both species were more readily separated by their chemoprints than were apterae. There were also clear differences, again in both species, between the two morphs from wheat and the two from oats; the main discriminant elements for R. padi were Fe, Al and Mn, and for M. dirhodum they were Cl, Ca and Al. Alatae of R. padi from healthy and BYDV-infected oats were clearly differentiated from each other and from their apterae; both groups of apterae could also be separated but not as distinctly as the alatae. The discriminant elements for these separations were Fe, Zn and Mn, and possibly Al. The differences between alates, and between alates and apterae, may reflect fundamental differences in homeostatic and metabolic processes in alate and apterous morphs of R. padi.

Yellow Dwarf Virus

The bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi (L.)) is one of the most detrimental pests of cereals, causing harm mainly by transmitting Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV). R. padi migration has been monitored since 1992 using suction traps at five sites in the Czech Republic. The count data were subjected to the following different analyses: (i) the minimum temperature thresholds for the aphids to take off were determined; (ii) a partial redundancy analysis using the minimum, average, and maximum temperatures, as well as the wind speed, the precipitation total, and past aphid migration descriptors was performed to explain the relationship between aphid occurrences and weather patterns; and (iii) three types of models from the field of machine learning were used to predict aphid occurrences. According to our findings, (i) in Central Europe, 8°C is the temperature threshold for R. padi migration unless insufficient daylight delays the take-off; (ii) weather conditions occurring roughly 9 months before R. padi migration influence the migration size; (iii) the duration of the summer migration influences the autumn migration size; and (iv) the daytime and nighttime temperatures in the autumn determine the summer peak, whereas winter frosts and precipitation influence the autumn peak.

AbstractGene flow between field populations of the cereal aphids Sitobion avenae (Fabricius), Sitobion fragariae (Walker) and Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus) is examined using statistical analyses of allozyme frequency data (both Slatkin's and F statistics). Analysis using Slatkin's method confirms the conclusions previously drawn from earlier analyses. Thus there is found to be high gene flow between subpopulations of S. avenae and R. padi, and a more restricted level between local S. fragariae subpopulations, especially when infesting the secondary host (cocksfoot grass, Dactylis glomerata). The value of Nm (number of immigrants per generation) calculated for S. avenae was approximately 2 and is indicative of high gene flow i.e. Nm>1.0. Also, as previously found by x2 genetic contingency testing, the F statistical analysis confirms that S. fragariae subpopulations infesting D. glomerata are genetically more heterogeneous than those infesting the primary host, blackberry, Rubus fruticosus agg. Hence, there may be less gene flow between populations on the secondary host compared with that on the primary. The results obtained are compared with the flight behaviour of these particular aphid species and to their respective host plant abundances. The advantages and disadvantages of both Slatkin's method and F statistics for analysing insect population genetic structure are noted.

AbstractThe dynamics of migration of the parasitoids Aphidius spp. between grassland and cereal fields of varying sowing dates was investigated in southern England in 1980 and 1981. Using baffled water traps, direct evidence of migration of A. rhopalosiphi De Stefani Perez females from grassland to winter wheat was obtained in June 1980, suggesting that the early-maturing grassland aphid Metopolophium festucae (Theobald) can act as a reservoir of cereal aphid parasitoids. In 1981, estimates of parasitoid production in cereal fields containing the aphids Sitobion avenae (F.), M. dirhodum (Walker) and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) were compared with actual numbers to calculate net immigration and emigration. Barley and early-sown wheat (drilled before 14 October) proved to be significant sources of Aphidius spp., with one wheat field generating sufficient parasitoids in May to account for immigration into about 25 late-sown fields. Parasitoid migration as larvae inside aphid alatae was apparently of considerably less significance than that by adults, which were predominantly female. The advantages of early drilling of cereals to form ‘semi perennial’ reservoirs of beneficial insects is discussed and weighed against the corresponding disadvantages, especially an increased risk of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV).

Seventeen isolates of the aphid-borne barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), collected in southern Manitoba in 1966, were transmitted from oats to oats most efficiently by Rhopalosiphum padi. They were transmitted also by Macrosiphum avenae and all but two were transmitted by Schizaphis graminum and Acyrthosiphon dirhodum. Most of these isolates were not transmitted by R. maidis.Only 3 of 25 isolates collected in 1967 were transmitted by the five species of aphids in a pattern similar to that of the isolates collected in 1966. Twenty of the remainder were transmitted with a moderate to high degree of specificity by R. maidis, R. padi, or S. graminum. Two of the latter isolates were transmitted only by S. graminum. When the transmissibility of one of the isolates, for which S. graminum was the most efficient vector, was examined more critically, both the relative and the specific efficiency of the three vectors varied with the age of the infection in the source plants, though S. graminum was always the most efficient vector.
