Genetic Divergence of Two Sitobion avenae Biotypes on Barley and Wheat in China [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Host plant affinity and geographic distance can play critical roles in the genetic divergence of insect herbivores and evolution of insect biotypes, but their relative importance in the divergence of insect populations is still poorly understood. We used

Responses of Six Wheat Cultivars (Triticum aestivum) to Wheat Aphid (Sitobion avenae) Infestation [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Resistant variety screening is widely recommended for the management of Sitobion avenae. The purpose of this study was to assess responses of six wheat varieties (lines) to S. avenae. The aphid quantity ratio (AQR) was used to assess S. avenae resistance.

Wheat–Fusarium graminearum Interactions Under Sitobion avenae Influence: From Nutrients and Hormone Signals [PDF]
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021 The English grain aphid Sitobion avenae and phytopathogen Fusarium graminearum are wheat spike colonizers. “Synergistic” effects of the coexistence of S. avenae and F. graminearum on the wheat spikes have been shown in agroecosystems.

The chromosome-level genome assembly of Sitobion avenae Fabricius (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [PDF]
Scientific DataSitobion avenae (Fabricius), a major pest of cereal crops worldwide, causes significant damage on agricultural production. However, the lack of high-quality genomes has limited in-depth studies on its biology and effective management strategies. Here, we

Flight muscles degenerate by programmed cell death after migration in the wheat aphid, Sitobion avenae [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2019 Objective Previous studies showed that flight muscles degenerate after migration in some aphid species; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains virtually unknown.

Influence of Previous Infestation of Wheat Leaves and Ears by Sitobion avenae on Interaction with Rhopalosiphum padi [PDF]
InsectsDifferent herbivorous species that share a host plant may interact via competition or facilitation, depending on whether the interaction partners are hindered by or benefit from the interaction.

Grain aphids (Sitobion avenae) with knockdown resistance (kdr) to insecticide exhibit fitness trade-offs, including increased vulnerability to the natural enemy Aphidius ervi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 The development of insecticide-resistance mechanisms in aphids has been associated with inhibitory, pleiotropic fitness costs. Such fitness costs have not yet been examined in the UK's most damaging cereal aphid, Sitobion avenae (grain aphid) (Hemiptera:

Divergence of Desiccation-Related Traits in Sitobion avenae from Northwestern China. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 The impact of drought on insects has become increasingly evident in the context of global climate change, but the physiological mechanisms of aphids’ responses to desiccating environments are still not well understood. We sampled the wheat aphid Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) from arid areas of northwestern China.

Transcriptome analysis of the salivary glands of the grain aphid, Sitobion avenae. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractAphid saliva plays important roles in aphid-host interactions, such as assisting aphid digestion, detoxification, activating or suppressing plant defenses. The grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is one of the most devastating pests of cereals worldwide. In this study, we performed the transcriptome analysis of salivary glands of S. avenae.

Resistance of Wheat Accessions to the English Grain Aphid Sitobion avenae. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is a major pest species of wheat crops; however, certain varieties may have stronger resistance to infestation than others. Here, we investigated 3 classical resistance mechanisms (antixenosis, antibiosis, and tolerance) by 14 wheat varieties/lines to S. avenae under laboratory and field conditions.
