Abstract

Several resistant lines of wheat, Triticum aestivum (L.) (Poaceae), have been developed to control populations of the Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). We examined the potential effects of D. noxia resistant lines on another aphid, the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)), which commonly co-occurs with D. noxia. Because one type of resistance (mediated by the Dn1 gene) is purported to be induced rather than constitutive, we also determined the degree to which the suitability of resistant and susceptible plants is modified by previous infestation. Although resistant lines were derived from five different sources, we did not detect any differences in the population growth of R. padi on resistant and near-isogenic susceptible plants. The performance of D. noxia was reduced as expected on resistant plants but was unaffected by whether or not plants had been previously infested. In contrast, the performance of R. padi was reduced on plants that had been previously infested but was unaffected by whether plants were resistant or susceptible to D. noxia. Because neither species' performance was especially low on previously infested, resistant plants, there was no evidence that prior aphid feeding induces a higher level of resistance.

Résumé

Plusieurs lignées résistantes du blé tendre, Triticum aestivum (L.) (Poaceae), ont été développées pour lutter contre les populations du puceron russe du blé, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Nous avons étudié les effets potentiels des lignées résistantes à D. noxia sur un autre puceron commun, le puceron bicolore des céréales, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Puisqu'on croit que la résistance médiée par le gène Dn1 est induite plutôt que constitutive, nous avons aussi déterminé dans quelle mesure une infestation antérieure rend les plants résistants et vulnérables plus ou moins appropriés à l'insecte. Bien que les lignées résistantes proviennent de cinq sources distinctes, il n'y a pas de différence dans la croissance des populations de R. padi sur les plants résistants et les plants vulnérables quasi-isogéniques. Le succès de D. noxia est réduit, comme prévu, sur les plants résistants, mais il n'est pas modifié par une infestation antérieure de la plante. En revanche, le succès de R. padi est restreint sur les plants qui ont subi une infestation antérieure, mais il ne varie pas selon que les plants soient ou non résistants à D. noxia. Puisque la performance des deux espèces n'est pas particulièrement réduite sur des plants résistants qui ont subi une infestation antérieure, il n'y a pas d'indication que l'alimentation préalable par les pucerons entraîne une résistance accrue.
