Resistance to Melanaphis sacchari in the sugarcane cultivar R 365

Abstract: This study focuses on the resistance of sugarcane, Saccharum spec. (Poaceae), to the sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), which vectors Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV). Resistance was characterized in cultivar R 365, using a 3‐year field trial and laboratory experiments on potted plantlets and excised leaves. R 365 reduced aphid populations in the field by antixenosis and antibiosis. Using the electrical penetration graph technique, we detected delayed aphid salivation in… Show more

“…In the early stages of selection, plant volatiles either guide or disrupt aphid olfactory orientation to the plant . Acceptance of a plant then depends upon the aphid's ability to probe the leaf substrate, penetrate cells to ‘taste’ a leaf and reach the phloem, the site of resistance to several aphid species . At phloem feeding sites, aphids secrete calcium‐binding proteins which prevent stylet probing from clogging sieve elements .…”
