Proteomes of the aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae in its resistance and susceptibility responses to differently compatible parasitoids.

چکیده
Host insects are either susceptible or resistant to parasitoids, where resistant hosts express immunity factors and compatible parasitoids express virulence factors that may reveal the manipulation of susceptible hosts. Using proteomics we compared responses of the same host, the aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae, challenged by a well-adapted parasitoid Aphidius nigripes or by a less adapted relative, Aphidius ervi. The host was found to be equally acceptable to both parasitoids, but while A. nigripes normally developed and killed hosts (high susceptibility), development of the incompatible A. ervi was arrested at the primary egg stage (high resistance). Two-dimensional gels at two stages of parasitism revealed divergence in patterns of protein regulation of the M. euphorbiae host, responding to A. ervi or A. nigripes, with the greatest number of protein modulations in the host resistance response. In A. ervi-resistant hosts, proPO was strongly up-regulated, as were also three cuticle proteins, suggesting a PO basis and exoskeleton reinforcement as early and late responses of M. euphorbiae to the risk of parasitism. Resistance also correlated with up-regulation of antioxidative, energy-related, cytoskeleton and heat shock proteins. In A. nigripes-susceptible hosts, various proteins implicated in host and bacterial symbiont metabolism were significantly altered, suggesting complex host nutritional modulation. Over-expression of energy-related proteins also increased when A. nigripes established and developed. Aphid proteomes of compatible and incompatible Aphidius parasitism provide an integrative basis for consolidating our knowledge of host-parasitoid interactions.

Preinfestations of tomato plants by whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) or aphids (Macrosiphum euphorbiae) induce variable resistance or susceptibility responses.
In addition to constitutive plant resistance against pests or pathogens, plants can activate protective mechanisms upon contact with an invader or a chemical elicitor. Studies on induced plant resistance to herbivores, especially piercing-sucking insects, are less abundant than those devoted to pathogens. Several experiments under controlled conditions have been conducted to demonstrate that in...
متن کاملThe ethylene response factor Pti5 contributes to potato aphid resistance in tomato independent of ethylene signalling
Ethylene response factors (ERFs) comprise a large family of transcription factors that regulate numerous biological processes including growth, development, and response to environmental stresses. Here, we report that Pti5, an ERF in tomato [Solanum lycopersicum (Linnaeus)] was transcriptionally upregulated in response to the potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas), and contributed to plan...
متن کاملTrichoderma harzianum enhances tomato indirect defense against aphids.
Many fungal root symbionts of the genus Trichoderma are well-known for their beneficial effects on agronomic performance and protection against plant pathogens; moreover, they may enhance protection from insect pests, by triggering plant resistance mechanisms. Defense barriers against insects are induced by the activation of metabolic pathways involved in the production of defense-related plant...
متن کاملThe Potato Aphid Salivary Effector Me47 Is a Glutathione-S-Transferase Involved in Modifying Plant Responses to Aphid Infestation
Polyphagous aphid pests cause considerable economic damage to crop plants, primarily through the depletion of photoassimilates and transfer of viruses. The potato aphid (Macrosiphum euphorbiae) is a notable pest of solanaceous crops, however, the molecular mechanisms that underpin the ability to colonize these hosts are unknown. It has recently been demonstrated that like other aphid species, M...
متن کاملRole of the aphid species and their feeding locations in parasitization behavior of Aphelinus abdominalis, a parasitoid of the lettuce aphid Nasonovia ribisnigri
Aphid species feeding on lettuce occupy distinct feeding sites: the lettuce aphid Nasonovia ribisnigri prefers to feed on heart leaves, whereas the potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae feeds only on outer leaves. The aphid parasitoid Aphelinus abdominalis, known to be able to regulate M. euphorbiae on many crops, has recently been indicated as a promising biocontrol candidate also for use agains...
