Because melon aphid sometimes overwinters in greenhouses, and may be introduced into the field with transplants in the spring, it has potential to be damaging almost anywhere. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. A. gossypii has a wide host range, including cotton, cucurbits, and many other legumes. A. gossypii is small, adaptable, easily spread, with a rapid reproductive rate, and the ability to cause serious plant injury in isolated communities. Therefore, future studies are required to evaluate the effects of A. gossypii on wheat production. Melon aphids, Aphis gossypii Glover, on okra. The juvenile forms are almost always yellowish in color. Antennal olfaction, which is extremely important for insect survival, mediates key behaviors such as host preference, mate choice, and oviposition site selection. 2. This sap-sucking insect affects plants via direct feeding and indirectly via plant viral disease transmission (more than 50 plant pathogenic viruses known). They cause damage by sucking sap, thus weakening the plants, and by excreting a sticky honeydew that grows into a sootylike mold on leaves that makes plants unable to carry out photosynthetic activities. This study raises a warning that the cotton aphid has potential to establish well on wheat and it may cause significant effects under specific circumstances. There is no report of PRSV-P or -W seed transmission. Its origin is in Europe. Credits: Paul M. Choate, UF/IFAS Figure 5. The two aphids can transmit the Tristeza virus, which is a major concern in countries where it is not yet present and where trees are grafted on susceptible rootstocks such as sour orange. Aphids have fine, needle-like mouthparts and they use them to suck sap from plants. The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, is a polyphagous pest that inflicts great damage to cotton yields worldwide. In the southeastern United States, frequent rainfall in the fall limits the accumulation of honeydew except in dry years. The most important aphid-transmitted virus is sweetpotato feathery mottle virus. PDF. It was proposed that it could block the active site or the NAD-binding site. Common names. Insecticide treatment may be recommended. This interferes with harvest and reduces lint quality. Similar toxins were reported in B. cereus sharing 95% identity and showing insecticidal activity against the Coleopteran D. virgifera [39]. This carbohydrate-rich goo exacerbates the damage by attracting airborne spores of sooty mold fungi. Long-distance spread may occur through the movement of infected material (seedlings, fruits). We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Aphis gossypii is originated from warmer regions, but can also survive northern winters in greenhouses 34. Attitude and biological cycle – The Vip1/Vip2 binary toxins, of 100 kDa and 52 kDa, respectively, act together to kill insect pests such as the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii and corn rootworm Diabrotica virgifera [38]. Download Free PDF. Variable watermelon populations resistant to cucumber beetle (D. balteata Lec. Figure 6. Premium PDF Package. Aphis cucurbiti Buct. Low to moderate numbers of leaf-feeding aphids aren't usually damaging in gardens or on trees. (See color figure 158. In the United States, it is regularly a pest in the southeast and southwest, but is occasionally damaging everywhere. They damage sweetpotato plants by sucking sap from growing shoots causing wrinkling, cupping, and downward curling of young leaves. Aphis gossypii is one of the most biologically diverse and widely distributed aphid species. From: Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2014, Ambayeba Muimba-Kankolongo, in Food Crop Production by Smallholder Farmers in Southern Africa, 2018. Aphis gossypii Glover is a destructive pest of over two dozen crops world wide. In addition, aphids transmit the yellow vein mosaic virus in okra.. John L. Capinera, in Handbook of Vegetable Pests, 2001, Melon aphid is widely distributed, and is known from tropical and temperate regions throughout the world except northern Canada and northern Asia. Aphis gossypii - cabi. In general, cotton aphid populations are maintained below treatable levels by the actions of natural enemies unless sprays targeting other pests have been made that disrupt the natural enemy complex (Weathersbee and Hardee, 1994). Both cause sooty mold and soft rot to occur where fruit share common surfaces (Day and Wilkins 2011). One of the major pests of Cucurbitaceae is the cucumber aphid, Aphis gossypii Clov., syn. Greenhouse crops are damaged by numerous aphid pests, but a few highly polyphagous species, including green peach aphid Myzus persicae, melon aphid Aphis gossypii, potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae, and foxglove aphid Aulacorthum solani, are of primary importance (Chow and Heinz, 2004). Aphis gossypii Glover (BASF) Colony on leaf of cotton Aphis gossypii Glover (BASF) Damage to young plants of cotton To read this page in French . Chaetosiphon fragaefolii, Aphis gossypii, Myzus persicae, and others. This aphid causes economic damage to chili due vectors of viral diseases (Satar et al., 1999), such as curly virus (Sisterson, 2009). Winged aphids may travel long distances and introduce viruses into new areas. When aphids occur in large numbers, young leaves become curled, wrinkled, cup-shaped and smaller than normal (Photo 2). Insect Science (2020) 27, 33–48, DOI 10.1111/1744-7917.12610 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Sieve element occlusion provides resistance against Aphis gossypii in TGR-1551 melons Hsuan-Chieh Peng1 and Gregory P. Walker2 1Department of Microbiology and Plant Pathology, University of California, Riverside, California, USA and 2Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, California, USA In general, cotton aphid is an indirect pest that feeds on the underside of leaves and can produce large amounts of honeydew. Damage Congregating on lower leaf surfaces, they pierce the plant and suck sap. The most dangerous are Aphis gossypii Glover and Toxoptera citricidus Kirk. The Vip1A forms sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)–resistant and heat-sensitive oligomeric structures in solution [40]. PDF. Noni monocultures favor pest outbreaks; thus, the severity and frequency of pest attacks can be minimized by intercropping with other species of non-host plants. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. Because melon aphid sometimes overwinters in greenhouses, and may be introduced into the field with transplants in the spring, it has potential to be damaging almost anywhere. Cécile Desbiez, Hervé Lecoq, in Reference Module in Life Sciences, 2020. Aphid growths are influenced by environmental conditions, such as the species of the plant and soil nutrition. Outdoors Aphis gossypii is a pest of Hypericum androsaemum and Hypericum inodorum. was controlled by a single recessive gene. Nymphs resemble the adults; adults can be winged or wingless. assessing Aphis gossypii on cotton plants This section of the study was conducted according to Kerns et al. Crystal structure of Vip2A toxin. Alejandra Bravo, ... Mario Soberón, in The Comprehensive Sourcebook of Bacterial Protein Toxins (Fourth Edition), 2015. Download PDF Package. A. Carrillo-López, E.M. Yahia, in Postharvest Biology and Technology of Tropical and Subtropical Fruits: Mangosteen to White Sapote, 2011. Download Full PDF Package. PRSV is acquired and transmitted during very short probes, what makes its spread within a field generally rapid. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2095-3119(17)61784-2. The main impact of these insects is that they transmit viral diseases as they feed and move from sweetpotato plant to plant in the field. Their dorsal abdominal sclerotic pattern is limited at most to dusky bands across tergites 7-8. Aphids, particularly Aphis gossypii and others (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are soft-bodied insects, 1–2 mm long, yellowish green to black, with or without wings. The fused apical rostral segment (RIV+V) of Aphis sedi is 1.04-1.20 times the length of the second hind tarsal segment (HT2) (cf. All are small (2 mm or 1/12 in. Wilting and discoloration may follow. Due to their specific activity against D. virgifera, this binary toxin was cloned into corn plants. The damage risk of A. gossypii on wheat was assessed using host shift method. As melon aphid occasionally overwinters in greenhouses, and may be introduced into the field with transplants in the spring, it has potential to be damaging almost anywhere. Resistance to fruit fly was controlled by a single dominant gene Fwr.39 Chambliss and Cuthberg5 found that resistance to Diabrotica balteata Lec. Initial infestations of cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, occur between the seedling and early reproductive stages of cotton (Slosser et al., 1989). PRSV is transmitted in a non-persistent manner by more than 24 aphid species among which Aphis gossypii, Myzus persicae and A. craccivora are the most efficient. The resulting larger aphid populations damage cotton by sucking sap from plants, stunting plant growth and yield, and fouling leaves and bolls with honeydew—all of which translates into economic loss for cotton producers. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. Other aphids are similar in appearance to Aphis gossypii (Glover), the melon or cotton aphid. TIBOR FEHÉR, in Genetic Improvement of Vegetable Crops, 1993. Melon or Cotton Aphid, Aphis gossypii Host: A very wide range of field and ornamental as well as vegetable crops may be infested by this pest.Some vegetable hosts include asparagus, beans, beet, cowpeas, cucurbits, eggplant, okra, spinach, and tomato. This aphid is globally distributed, located in all but the coldest terrestrial habitats. However, large populations can turn leaves yellow and stunt shoots; aphids can also produce large quantities of a sticky exudate known as honeydew, which often turns black with the growth of a sooty mold fungus. To solve this problem, a Vip2 zymogen with lower actin-ADP-ribosylating activity than the wild type was constructed using protein engineering with a proper extension of the polypeptide chain. Worldwide: cosmopolitan, everywhere host plantsare grown. Milder winters under climatic change could increase winter survival of insect pests and rates of herbivory 3 , therefore intensifying the damage of cotton aphid. Aphis gossypii. In Insects of Hawaii. During heavy infestations, plant vigor is greatly reduced. However, the expression of these toxins severely affected the plant development, killing the plant [41]. This paper. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. The results of host shift demonstrated that the A. gossypii colony from wheat has not yet developed wheat specialization. Insecticide sprays targeting cotton aphid occur in most regions, especially in arid regions to preserve lint quality and improve milling quality. Hence, they reduce the crop yield and reduce its market value. Direct damage: The damage is caused when aphids feed. were shown efficient virus sources in tropical and sub-tropical regions. They are also liable to transmit any of over 40 viruses, including CMV and TMV. When populations are high, plants, especially seedlings, become stunted. A few species cause gall formations.Aphids may transmit viruses from plant to plant o… Reproduced from Varela, A.M., ICIPE, Infonet-Biovision. It is proposed that Vip1A binds to a 50-kDa protein located in the cell surface of the aphid midgut and induces the translocation of Vip2A across the membrane. Aphids cause direct and indirect damage: 1. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. The cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii), which are about 1–1.5 mm long, constitute the major pest of okra in Southern Africa. It is important to use appropriate rootstocks that ensure a certain tolerance or resistance of the variety/rootstock combination. Pest outbreaks can also be prevented by the elimination of weeds that favor pests development and mites can be reduced by pruning affected leaves. Moreover, the assessment of A. gossypii fitness on wheat and cotton showed that fecundity and net reproductive rate of A. gossypii population fed on wheat was significantly higher comparing to the population fed on cotton, whether the initial host of A. gossypii population was wheat or cotton. Only resistance against fruit fly (Decus cucurbitae Coll. The Vip2A attaches a ADP-ribose moiety to a monomeric G-actin, affecting its polymerization and the integrity of the cytoskeleton [39]. Virus sources are generally neighboring infected crops, but for PRSV-W several wild cucurbits (Melothria pendula, Momordica sp.) In Insects of Hawaii. However, during our wheat field survey in Wenshang County of Shangdong Province, China, we observed that Aphis gossypii can feed on wheat. Damage and control In temperate climates Aphis gossypii is considered an important pest of greenhouse crops such as cucurbits, and ornamentals such as Begonia and calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica). Other vegetable crops attacked include pepper, eggplant, okra and asparagus. PDF. and D. undecimpunctata howardi Barber) were developed as a source of breeding.6 Dwarf habit, entire leaf, fruit shape and seed size are the attributes associated with resistance. They cause damage by sucking sap, thus weakening the plants, and by excreting a sticky honeydew that grows into a sootylike mold on leaves that makes plants unable to carry out photosynthetic activities. ), cucumber beetle (Diabrotica balteata Lec. Order Homoptera—Aphids, Leaf- and Planthoppers, Psyllids and Whiteflies, Microbial Control of Insect and Mite Pests of Cotton, Microbial Control of Insect and Mite Pests, Citrus spp. However, the accumulation of honeydew in arid regions such as the southwestern United States can result in sticky cotton. Nymphs and adults extract nutrients from the plant and disturb the balance of growth hormones. Create a free account to download. ), and the genetic background of red pumpkin beetle (Aulacophora foveicollis Lucas) are known. It also affects citrus, cotton and hibiscus. This aphid species can transmit more than 50 different viruses, including the cucumber mosaic virus. In plants which produce the phytoestrogen coumestrol, such as alfalfa, damage by aphids is linked with higher concentrations of coumestrol. Damage is caused by the sucking of the sap, where consequently the aphids have the ability to act as virus vectors and produce honeydew on the plant, which can attract ants. In the United States, it is regularly a pest in the southeast and southwest, but is occasionally damaging everywhere. In contrast, Fernandes et al. Free PDF. long) and soft-bodied. Leaves may wilt, dry up and die early. According to Janick and Paul (2008) the most severe damage in Hawaii is associated with whiteflies, whereas in Micronesia the most problematic species is the leaf miner. Publishing services by Elsevier B.V. The cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii), which are about 1–1.5 mm long, constitute the major pest of okra in Southern Africa. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. Some aphid species inject a toxin into plants, which causes leaves to curl and further distorts growth. A Manual of the Insects of the Hawaiian Islands, including Enumeration of the Species and Notes on Their Origin, Distribution, Hosts, Parasites, etc. Reproduction in these pests is largely asexual, and development is rapid, leading to explosive population increases. Leaves curl downward and pucker. Several species of aphids are commonly found on citrus. S.P. Download with Google Download with Facebook. However PRSV persists only few hours on the stylets: therefore long-distance spread by aphids is limited. 76-77. Melon aphid occurs in tropical and temperate regions throughout the world except northernmost areas. As expected, this has resulted in many articles dealing with methods of controlling this insect. The zymogenized form of Vip2 interfered with its enzymatic function. As phloem feeders, aphids produce large amounts of honeydew. Among cucurbit vegetables, it can seriously affect watermelons, cucumbers, cantaloupes, squash and pumpkin. Identification There are several species of aphids that can be found in strawberries. A number of species of aphis are to be met with under glass; on cyclamen, Myzus persicae (the Green Peach Aphis) and, in the last few years, Aphis gossypii (Cotton Aphis) are damaging pests. Pesticides such as Abamectin and Acetamiprid are applied on trees to control the pest. One other species commonly encountered is A. spiraecola Patch, the spirea aphid. There is considerable debate about the pest status of cotton aphid and its impact on cotton yields. symptoms and damage: what to look for Initial symptoms include yellowing of the leaves, as they feed on the under side of leaves and growing tip vines of their host plants.

Major aphid species that infest wheat in China include Sitobion avenae, Rhopalosiphum padi, Schizaphis graminum and Metopolophium dirhodum. This disease causes the death of infected trees. The two primary aphid species that result in fruit damage are the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) and another unidentified species referred to as the pomegranate aphid (Carroll 2010). The 3D structure and PDB accession number are shown here, with the structure alignment with the NAD-dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase domain of the Iota toxin from C. perfringens (performed with the jFAT-CAT algorithm). Figure 30.5. The ADP-ribosylating activity was masked in the plant cell, but the propeptide could be cleaved by the proteases present in the midgut of larvae, recovering the insecticidal activity [41]. A propeptide sequence was added at the C-terminal end of Vip2A toxin. Resistance to red pumpkin beetle (Af) was dominant to susceptibility.102, M. El-Otmani, ... L. Zacarías, in Postharvest Biology and Technology of Tropical and Subtropical Fruits: Açai to Citrus, 2011. United States: southeastern and southwestern United States. The Aphis gossypii is a very polyphagous Afide with an adult measuring approximately 2 mm in length and with a very variable color, from greenish to dark grayish. Aphids are considered as one of the key pests for wheat production worldwide. Damage symptoms The cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) is an important vector for viral diseases. According to Nelson (2001), pests known to attack noni in Hawaii include aphids (Aphis gossypii), ants, scales (the green scale), mites (eriophyid mites), whiteflies (fringe guava whitefly), and slugs. Journal of Integrative Agriculture 2018, 17(3): 631–639 RESEARCH ARTICLE Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect The damage risk evaluation of Aphis gossypii on wheat by host shift and fitness comparison in wheat and cotton FAN Yin-jun1, LI Fen1, Abd Allah A. H. Mohammed1, 2, YI Xiao-qin1, ZHANG Min1, Nicolas Desneux3, GAO Xi-wu1 1 Department of … Indirect damage: 1. HYPPZ on line : Species (scientific name), Pests (common names), Glossary, Crops. Damage to a few of these crops is due to direct feeding, but for most of these crops its impact is through its role as a virus vector. The three-dimensional (3D) structure of Vip2A (PDB 1QS1) is similar to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)–dependent ADP-ribosyltransferase of other bacterial toxins, such as Iota toxin from C. perfringens and C2 toxin from C. botulinum (Figure 30.5). The control of aphids is not an easy task, as they have multiple hosts besides citrus. Cotton aphids feeding on cotton plants, for example, increase the number of foraging ants on cotton plants 15-fold which, in turn, results in a 2.5-fold decrease in defoliation by caterpillars and a 16% decrease in fruit (boll) damage by caterpillars and stinkbugs. The biggest ecosystem level threat might be its ability to transmit plant viruses. Hours on the stylets: therefore long-distance spread may occur through the movement of infected (!
