“…Host preference is an important insect phenomenon by which they look for suitable resources to get food, oviposit and set up nesting sites. Host plant preference of BPH females among plants treated with different salinity levels (0, 50 and 100 mM) was observed using TN1 and TPX cultivars in accordance to Tan et al 73 . Three glass tubes with one seedling (2 salinity treated along with control) were confined…”

Salinity stress triggers changes in plant morphology, physiology and molecular responses which can subsequently influence plant-insect interactions; however, these consequences remain poorly understood. We analyzed plant biomass, insect population growth rates, feeding behaviors and plant gene expression to characterize the mechanisms of the underlying interactions between the rice plant and brown planthopper (BpH) under salinity stress. plant bioassays showed that plant growth and vigor losses were higher in control and low salinity conditions compared to high salinity stressed TN1 (saltplanthopper susceptible cultivar) in response to BPH feeding. In contrast, the losses were higher in the high salinity treated tpX (salt-planthopper resistant cultivar). BpH population growth was reduced on TN1, but increased on TPX under high salinity condition compared to the control. This cultivar-specific effect was reflected in BPH feeding behaviors on the corresponding plants. Quantification of abscisic acid (ABA) and salicylic acid (SA) signaling transcripts indicated that salinity-induced down-regulation of ABA signaling increased SA-dependent defense in TN1. While, up-regulation of ABA related genes in salinity stressed TPX resulted in the decrease in SA-signaling genes. Thus, ABA and SA antagonism might be a key element in the interaction between BPH and salinity stress. Taken together, we concluded that plant-planthopper interactions are markedly shaped by salinity and might be cultivar specific. Plants are often exposed to multiple abiotic and biotic stressors at the same time in nature. For example, they may need to adapt to soil affected by salinity, heavy metals or drought as well as to attacks by herbivores and pathogens. Abiotic and biotic stresses interact at the cellular level and reaction to a combination of stresses, however, is often unique and cannot be explained from studying these stresses individually 1-4. Worldwide, increased soil salinity has negative impacts on about 30% of irrigated and 6% of the total land area 5. More than 397 million hectares of agricultural land in Africa, Asia, Australia and North and South America, have been affected by salinity 6 , with a monetary loss of 12 billion US$ in agricultural production 7. Salinization has increased due to the redistribution of salts in the soil during the conversion of wetlands or forests into farmland. Although the salinization of the soil occurs most in dry and semi-dry areas, it has been reported in almost all climatic areas 8. Better understanding of the plant adaptive mechanisms to cope with the abiotic as well as biotic stresses can help in the development of interventions. Salinity affects nutrient uptake, growth, ion homeostasis, general plant metabolism and water uptake in plants 9-11. This stress can also alter the direct and indirect immune metabolites of the plant 12. In addition, insect herbivory may be positively 13-15 , negatively 16-18 or neutrally 19,20 influenced by soil salinity. To date most studies have focused on direct effects...

“…Thus, changes in honeydew production could indicate declining feeding efficiency as a result of reduced ingestion rate, osmotic regulation, or a combination of the two (Nalam et al ., 2020). Some studies have shown that honeydew production by phloem feeding insects declines when feeding on water‐limited plants (Issacs et al ., 1998; Hale et al ., 2003), but the field is lacking in studies and consensus (Baqui & Kershaw, 1993; Tan et al ., 2017).…”

1. The effects of drought-induced changes in plant quality on aphid performance and population growth is well-studied. The response of aphid behaviour to plant water limitation has received less attention. Water limitation may affect host-plant colonization by altering the attractiveness of plants. Additionally, plant water limitation may inhibit feeding site establishment and phloem ingestion. 2. Our goal was to examine bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.) host selection and feeding behaviour under water limitation. We assessed aphid response to well-watered, mildly-stressed, and highly-stressed wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by evaluating (i) host-plant selection through two-choice assays, (ii) feeding behaviour using the electrical penetration graph technique, and (iii) phloem ingestion by quantifying honeydew production. 3. Aphids were less likely to select highly stressed plants than a mildly stressed or well-watered alternative. Aphids did not distinguish between mildly stressed and well-watered plants. Aphid feeding behaviours, including duration of phloem ingestion, were not affected by water availability. However, honeydew production was reduced under both levels of water limitation. These results suggest that the volume of phloem ingested by aphids per unit time declined on stressed plants. The combination of lower colonization and diminished access to food on stressed plants may lead to a reduction in aphid abundance, independent of the direct effects of nutrition on individual aphid performance. 4. This study highlights the potential contribution of herbivore behaviour to documented changes in aphid abundance on stressed plants and underscores the important role of plant water stress intensity in mediating plant-herbivore interactions.

“…Water scarcity has been shown to alter BPH feeding times and feeding sites on rice [32]; however, physiological changes in BPH after feeding on drought-stressed rice have not been studied. Research on drought stress in phytophagous insects has primarily focused on survival rates, growth, development, and fecundity [33].…”

Drought stress greatly impacts insect development and population growth. Some studies have demonstrated increased reproductive capacity in drought-stressed insects; however, physiological changes in the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), during periods of drought are unclear. In this study, BPH fed on drought- stressed rice had lower population numbers than BPH feeding on non-stressed rice. Water content, osmotic pressure of hemolymph and total amino acid content of BPH were significantly lower when BPH fed on drought-stressed rice compared to the non-stressed control; however, glucose content and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity were significantly higher in BPH fed on drought-stressed rice. The expression of Vitellogenin and Exuperantia in BPH fed on drought-stressed rice was higher than that in BPH feeding on non-stressed control plants. The size of myofibrils and the abundance of mitochondria in BPH flight muscles were significantly lower in BPH fed on drought-stressed rice compared to non-stressed plants. These results indicate that water management impacts the physiology of BPH, which may be useful in understanding the relationship between drought stress and this damaging herbivore.
