Potato Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The cereal aphidRhopalosiphum padi transmitted PVYO and PVYN from and to both tobacco and potato. However, it transmitted much less frequently thanMyzus persicae, even when aphids making single probes were compared.R. padi andM. persicae retained PVY for a similar duration. Both alatae and apterae ofR. padi transmitted infrequently, as also did progenies of individual aphids that had transmitted PVY.Metopolophium dirhodum also transmitted PVY infequently butSitobion avenae did not transmit.

Zusammenfassung

In Laborversuchen übertrugen ca, 1% der GetreideblattläuseRhopalosiphum padi undMetopolophium dirhodum, nicht jedochSitobion avenae das Kartoffel-Y-Virus (PVY). 65% vonMyzus persicae übertrugen PVY.R. padi übertrugauch dann weniger häufig alsM. persicae, wenn die Aphiden bei Einzelentnahmen untersucht wurden.R. padi übertrug PVYO und PVYN von und auf die Tabaksorte White Burley und die Kartoffelsorte King Edward. Zwei oder zehn Minuten Einwirkung waren optimal fürM. persicae, um PVY zu erlangen, währendR. padi PVY häufiger nach längeren Entwirkungszeiten übertrug (Tabelle 1).R. padi undM. persicae beinhalteten PVY für eine ähnliche Zeitdauer (Tabelle 2). Sowohl alatae als auch apterae vonR. padi übertrugen unregelmässig, ebenso Nachkommen von individuellen Aphiden, welche PVY übertragen hatten.

Résumé

En tests de laboratoire, environ 1% des pucerons des céréalesRhopalosiphum padi etMetopolophium dirhodum, aucun deSitobion avenae et environ 65% deMyzus persicae transmettent PVY.R. padi transmet également moins fréquemment queM. persicae lorsque les pucerons sont mis en comparaison par piqûre unique.R. padi acquiert PVYO et PVYN à partir des variétés de tabac White Burley et de pomme de terre King Edward et les transmet à ces deux mêmes variétés. Deux ou 10 minutes d'acquisition sont optimum pour queM. persicae acquiert PVY tandis queR. padi transmet PVY plus fréquemment après une plus longue période d'acquisition (tableau 1).R. padi etM. persicae conservent PVY dans les mêmes délais (tableau 2). Les ailés et les aptères deR. padi transmettent rarement PVY comme les descendants de pucerons ayant transmis PVY.
