“…The average number of aphids per plant was used as a basis for identifying aphid resistance in bean (Han et al 1991). There is evidence for genetic control of aphid resistance in many crops, including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) (Rossi et al 1998), wheat (Triticum aestivum) (Liu et al 2005), barley (Hordeum vulgare) (Mittal et al 2008), melon (C. melo) (Sarria et al 2008;Brotman et al 2002), barrel clover (Medicago truncatula) (Klingler et al 2005), maize (Zea mays) (So et al 2010) and soybean (Glycine max) (Kim et al 2010a, b;Ohnishi et al 2012). However, little is known about the inheritance of aphid resistance in cucumber.…”

The melon aphid Aphis gossypii Glover is one of the most serious pests in cucumber production, often causing severe damage in commercial fields. Identifying and deploying resistant germplasm and understanding the inheritance of melon aphid resistance are required for cucumber geneticists to develop an effective breeding strategy. In this study, resistance of 30 cucumber selections to melon aphid was evaluated at the seedling stage. Six generations, P 1 , P 2 , F 1 , BC 1 , BC 2 and F 2 derived from the cross of JY30 (susceptible) 9 EP6392 (resistant), were used as genetic populations to study the inheritance of melon aphid resistance in cucumber with the mixed major gene plus polygene inheritance model with the joint analysis method of multiple generations. Eight of the 30 tested selections displayed resistance to the melon aphid. The resistance of cucumber to melon aphids was controlled by one additive and dominant major gene plus additive and dominant polygenes, and was affected by environment as well. The additive effect and the dominant effect of the major gene were greater than the additive effect and the dominant effect of the polygenes. The heritabilities of the major gene in BC 1 , BC 2 and F 2 were 63.62 %, 0 % and 70.39 %, respectively. The polygenic heritabilities were 22.62 %, 37.0 % and 9.32 %, and the ratios of the environmental variance to phenotype variance were 58.54 %, 63.16 % and 30.77 %. We conclude that selections of cucumber with high resistance to melon aphid could be screened in advanced generations.

“…In wheat (Triticum spp. ), eight independent dominant genes each confer resistance to the Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia) from different resistance sources (Liu et al 2005), while one recessive gene contributes to the resistance in Triticum tauschii line SQ24 (Nkongolo et al 1991). A single recessive gene was also found to control resistance to corn leaf aphid (Rhopalosiphum maidis Fitch) (So et al 2010) and the groundnut rosette disease vector, Aphis craccivora, infesting peanut (Herselman et al 2004).…”

Mapping soybean aphid resistance genes in PI 567598B

The soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura) has been a major pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in North America since it was first reported in 2000. Our previous study revealed that the strong aphid resistance of plant introduction (PI) 567598B was controlled by two recessive genes. The objective of this study was to locate these two genes on the soybean genetic linkage map using molecular markers. A mapping population of 282 F 4:5 lines derived from IA2070 9 E06902 was evaluated for aphid resistance in a field trial in 2009 and a greenhouse trial in 2010. Two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified using the composite and multiple interval mapping methods, and were mapped on chromosomes 7 (linkage group M) and 16 (linkage group J), respectively. E06902, a parent derived from PI 567598B, conferred resistance at both loci. In the 2010 greenhouse trial, each of the two QTLs explained over 30 % of the phenotypic variation. Significant epistatic interaction was also found between these two QTLs. However, in the 2009 field trial, only the QTL on chromosome 16 was found and it explained 56.1 % of the phenotypic variation. These two QTLs and their interaction were confirmed with another population consisting of 94 F 2:5 lines in the 2008 and 2009 greenhouse trials. For both trials in the alternative population, these two loci explained about 50 and 80.4 % of the total phenotypic variation, respectively. Our study shows that soybean aphid isolate used in the 2009 field trial defeated the QTL found on chromosome 7. Presence of the QTL on chromosome 16 conferred soybean aphid resistance in all trials. The markers linked to the aphid-resistant QTLs in PI 567598B or its derived lines can be used in marker-assisted breeding for aphid resistance.

“…The absence of wheat D genome could be beneficial because this can reduce the confounding effects of genes on the genome. For example, several major genes conferring aphid resistance have been located on the D genome (Liu et al, 2005;Weng and Lazar, 2002;Zhu et al, 2004). The other aphid resistance genes could thus be detected easily without the effect of these major ones.…”

“…Many aphid resistance genes have been found and located in wheat. For example, genes Dn1, Dn2, Dn5, Dn6 and DnX located on chromosome 7DS, Dn4 on 1DS, Dn8 on 7DL and Dn9 on 1DL express resistance to the Russian wheat aphid (Liu et al, 2005;Tyrka and Chelkowski, 2004). Genes Gb3 and Gbz on chromosome 7DL function against the greenbug (Weng and Lazar, 2002;Zhu et al, 2004), whilst a single dominant gene RA-1 on chromosome 6AL is identifi ed against EGA (Liu et al, 2012).…”

English grain aphid (EGA, Sitobion avenae Fabricius) is an important pest in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To develop EGA-resistant varieties, introducing the desirable genes from related species is regarded as an effi cient avenue. In this study, the F 1 , F 2 and F 3 plants derived from the cross of EGA-susceptible wheat-Psathyrostachys huashanica Keng ex Kuo amphiploid (PHW-SA, AABBDDNsNs) and EGA-resistant triticale (Zhongsi 828, AABBRR) were analyzed for EGA resistance. Consequently, PHW-SA was moderately susceptible while Zhongsi 828 and their F 1 hybrids were immune, suggesting that the resistance is dominant. All the F 2 plants showed high resistance or immunity over two years, indicating that EGA resistance genes are more likely carried by the rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosomes rather than the genomes A or B of Zhongsi 828. In the F 3 generation, 25 of 239 lines became susceptible. Giemsa C-banding patterns revealed that these F 3 lines had 38-40 chromosomes, including complete rye genome except 5R (and 2R in fi ve lines). Genomic in situ hybridization analysis confi rmed this result. During meiosis, all the chromosomes formed bivalents. Six bivalents in 20 lines and fi ve bivalents in fi ve lines were characterized from rye. In contrast, their F 2 parental lines had 42 chromosomes (21 bivalents), containing 1R-7R of rye. No P. huashanica chromosomes were detected. Therefore, we propose that the rye chromosome 5R may be related to EGA resistance.
