Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus changes alfalfa response to pathogen infection activated by pea aphid infestation [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionArbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are important for the resistance of plants to insect infestation and diseases. However, the effect of AM fungal colonization of plants response to pathogen infection activated by pea aphid infestation is ...

Male-Biased microRNA Discovery in the Pea Aphid [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Epigenetic mechanisms modulate gene expression levels during development, shaping how a single genome produces a diversity of phenotypes. Here, we begin to explore the epigenetic regulation of sexual dimorphism in pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) by ...

Population Dynamics and Yield Loss Assessment for Pea Aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Homoptera: Aphididae), on Lentil in Morocco [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris) is the major insect pest of lentil in Morocco. We investigated pea aphid mean numbers and yield losses on three lentil varieties at one location during three successive cropping seasons during 2015–2018. The effects

The Efficacy of Biological Control for the Suppression of the Pea Aphid (Acyrthosiphon Pisum): Does the Resistance of Alfalfa Cultivars Matter? [PDF]
Insects, 2022 The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris, is a major pest of alfalfa in northwestern China. However, the roles of different groups of natural enemies in combination with aphid-resistant cultivars in the suppression of the pea aphid have not been ...

Pea Aphid Rearing, Bacterial Infection and Hemocyte Phagocytosis Assay [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2020 Insects rely on the simple but effective innate immune system to combat infection. Cellular and humoral responses are interconnected and synergistic in insects’ innate immune system. Phagocytosis is one major cellular response. It is difficult to collect

Pea Aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) Host Races Reduce Heat-Induced Forisome Dispersion in Vicia faba and Trifolium pratense [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Although phloem-feeding insects such as aphids can cause significant damage to plants, relatively little is known about early plant defenses against these insects. As a first line of defense, legumes can stop the phloem mass flow through a conformational

JNK pathway plays a key role in the immune system of the pea aphid and is regulated by microRNA-184. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Different from holometabolous insects, the hemipteran species such as pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum exhibit reduced immune responses with the absence of the genes coding for antimicrobial peptide (AMP), immune deficiency (IMD), peptidoglycan recognition ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Alters Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) Defense Enzyme Activities and Volatile Organic Compound Contents in Response to Pea Aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) Infestation [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) infestation leads to withering, reduced yield, and lower quality of the host plant. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been found to enhance their host plants’ nutrient uptake, growth, and resistance to biotic stresses,
