Role of nitrogen content of pea (Pisum sativum L.) on pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris) establishment [PDF]
The leaf nitrogen content is generally accepted as an indicator of food quality and as a factor affecting host selection by phytophagous insects. The alate pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris, Aphididae) were given a choice among non-nodulated pea ...

FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE OF Nabis punctipennis Blanchard to Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris IN THE LABORATORY [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study analyzed the predatory behavior of adult females of Nabis punctipennis Blanchard (Nabidae) towards Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris (Aphididae) in the laboratory in order to determine its functional response and potential as a biological control agent of this aphid. Both hemipterans are common in alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., in Chile. The

Effect of Host-plant on the Resistance of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) to Insecticides
SummaryBy means of a laboratory spraying technique, ten comparisons were made of the resistance to rotenone of samples of adult apterous viviparous parthenogenetic females of the Pea Aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), reared on broad bean and on clover, respectively.

Discharge of Conidia of Entomophthora thaxteriana Petch from the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris [PDF]
SUMMARY: At 21°, conidia of Entomophthora thaxteriana were first discharged from infected pea aphids about 6 to 9 h. after the aphids died and the rate of discharge was highest during a short period about 9 h. later. In constant light, the rate then decreased and discharge ended about 36 h. after an infected aphid died; in constant darkness the maximum

Starvation Stress Causes Body Color Change and Pigment Degradation in Acyrthosiphon pisum [PDF]
The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), shows body color shifting from red to pale under starvation in laboratory conditions. These body color changes reflect aphid’s adaptation to environmental stress. To understand the color-shifting patterns, the

Transcriptomic and Metatranscriptomic Analyses Provide New Insights into the Response of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to Acetamiprid [PDF]
Acetamiprid is a broad-spectrum neonicotinoid insecticide used in agriculture to control aphids. While recent studies have documented resistance to acetamiprid in several aphid species, the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood.

The effect of photoperiod and temperature on the production of the various forms of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) has been studied. In this study apterous virginoparous females were exposed throughout their lifetime to two photoperiods (8 hr./24 hr. and 16 hr./24 hr.) and six different temperatures. At each of the temperatures the apterae (parent Aphids)
