Abstract

Crossing experiments were conducted with 43 different parental clones of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) to clarify the genetic bases of esterase variations detected by electrophoresis. A total of 468 F1 clones obtained were analysed for variants at six polymorphic esterase loci, including one associated with resistance to organophosphorus insecticides (RAE). In addition, the effect of six different host plants on the activity of esterases was examined. The inheritance of variants at two loci could be explained by two-allele models, and that at three other loci by three-allele models, while segregation ratios at the RAE locus suggested a cumulative effect of the multiple genes. An interdependent assortment was found between two loci. The activity of the esterases detected in the alimentary canal was affected by the host plant. By combining the variants at the six polymorphic esterase loci with those in body colour, a total of 2592 colour-esterase forms were distinguishable. Thus esterases could be useful as genetic markers to study the genotypic composition and its dynamics of M. persicaepopulations.
