Abstract
This chapter deals with brassica plants and their resistance to sucking pests—aphids. Brassica plants are known to synthesize a number of plant secondary metabolites which impart resistance to insect-pests and diseases. Aphids are known to feed primarily on sieve elements. The sieve elements in vascular bundles of angiosperms are important channels for nutrition. They are the channels of transport of photoassimilates from source to the sink. Because of the high nutrition content of the sap inside sieve elements, they are the target for many insect-pests and bacterial and fungal pathogens. Aphids are one such group of insects which target SE elements of phloem for nutrition. They are among the most important insect pests in agriculture particularly serious in temperate and sub-tropical climates. In addition to direct damage by feeding as well as toxic effects of saliva, the withdrawal of nutrients is detrimental to plant growth and development. In addition to this, aphids also cause indirect damage to plants by acting as vectors of plant pathogenic viruses. Furthermore, honeydew excreted by aphids provides suitable substrate for sooty molds that interfere with normal plant photosynthesis. In this chapter work on host plant resistance in Brassica plants against aphids has been reviewed.

1. Introduction
Brassicaceae family is one of the earliest group of cultivated plants [1] which are a source of vegetables, oilseeds and condiments. Various biotic and abiotic stresses limit the production and productivity of these crops. Out of various insect-pests, aphids are important pests. Turnip aphid alone is known to cause 35.4 to 91.3% reduction in yield with the average yield losses of around 56.2% [2]. At present, systemic insecticides are used to manage aphid pests. Although these insecticides are very effective, but they have the associated problems like residue problem in oil and cake, environmental pollution and development of insecticide resistance. Past two decades have witnessed an increased interest in finding alternate solutions for aphid management. One such strategy is host plant resistance. It is an effective, economical and environment friendly option for pest management. The first step in development of insect resistant cultivar is the identification of source of resistance. In this chapter we have attempted to review literature on screening of plants to find source of resistance and latest developments in host plant resistance in Brassicaceae against aphid pests.
2. Species complex of aphids on Brassicaceae plants
Members of the family Brassicaceae serve as suitable hosts to a number of aphid species. The main aphid species reported to infest

Initially there were doubts about the origin and identity of
3. Aphid-plant interactions
Aphids are specialized phloem sap feeders which insert their needle like stylets in the plant tissue avoiding/counteracting the different plant defenses and withdraw large quantities of phloem sap while keeping the phloem cells alive. In contrast to the insects with biting and chewing mouthparts which tear the host tissues, aphids penetrate their stylets between epidermal and parenchymal cells to finally reach sieve tubes with slight physical damage to the plants, which is hardly perceived by the host plant [19]. The aphid stylets play major role in host plant selection [20]. The long and flexible stylets mainly move intercellular in the cell wall apoplasm [21], although stylets also make intracellular punctures to probe the internal chemistry of a cell. The high pressure within sieve tubes helps in passive feeding [19]. During the stylet penetration and feeding, aphids produce two types of saliva. The first type is dense and proteinaceous (including phenoloxidases, peroxidases, pectinases, β-glucosidases) that forms an intercellular tunneled path around the stylet in the form of sheath [22]. In addition to proteins this gelling saliva also contains phospholipids, and conjugated carbohydrates [23, 24, 25]. This stylet sheath forms a physical barrier and protects the feeding site from plant’s immune response. When the stylet come in contact with active flow of phloem sap, the feeding aphid releases digestive enzymes in the vascular tissue in the form of second type of ‘watery’ saliva. The injection of watery saliva (E1) prevents the coagulation of proteins in plant sieve tubes and during feeding the watery (E2) saliva gets mixed with the ingested sap which prevents clogging of proteins inside the capillary food canal in the insect stylets [19]. Though, the actual biochemical mode of action of inhibition of protein coagulation is unknown, the calcium binding proteins of aphid saliva are reported to interact with the calcium of plant tissues resulting in suppression of calcium-dependent occlusion of sieve tubes and subsequent delayed plant response [26, 27]. This mechanism of feeding is more specialized and precise which avoids different allelochemicals and indigestible compounds abundant in other plant tissues [28]. In addition to this, aphid saliva also contains non-enzymatic reducing compounds which in the presence of oxidizing enzymes inactivate different defense related compounds produced by plants after insect attack [24].
The early response of plants to feeding by insects or infection by pathogens share some common events such as protein phosphorylation, membrane depolarization, calcium influx and release of reactive oxygen species (ROS, such as hydrogen peroxide) [29], which leads to activation of phytohormone dependent pathways. In response to infestation/infection different phytohormone-dependent pathways are activated. The ethylene (ET) and jasmonate (JA) pathways are activated by different necrotrophic pathogens [30] and grazing insects [31], while salicylate (SA) dependent responses are activated by biotrophic pathogens [30]. These responses lead to production of various defense related proteins and secondary metabolites with antixenotic or antibiotic properties. In the case of infestation by aphids, a SA-dependent response appears to be activated, while the expression of JA-dependent genes is repressed [32, 33, 34, 35]. All these responses lead to the manipulation of the plant metabolism to ensure compatible aphid-plant interactions.
4. Stages and extent of damage
Damage is caused by both nymphs and adults. Wing dimorphism leads to two different morphs—
Parthenogenetic viviparity limits the need for males to fertilize females and eliminates the egg stage from life cycle. Further, the development of an aphid begins even before its mother’s birth—a phenomenon known as telescoping of generations. Thus, the generation time is considerably reduced to as low as 5–7 days under favorable conditions [36] leading to rapid increase in population growth. Under varying population levels, prevailing agro-climatic conditions and phenological stage of the crop damage by
5. Bioecology and different control interventions
Many workers have attempted to study the bioecology of the pest in an effort to find weak links in pest’s life cycle so that this information can be used in devising an effective pest management strategy. Though good information has been generated, but keeping a view the changed spectrum of mustard varieties over the time, cultural practices and the global environmental change, there are still many gaps in our knowledge. There is no egg or other resting stage in its life cycle and the mustard aphid is reported to survive on some wild crucifers and some vegetables during summer months [50, 51] particularly in submountaineous regions. On the other hand, in plain region of Rajasthan, Sachan and Srivastava [52] could not locate the pest from July to October on cabbage. Similarly, Lal [53] also stated that this pest is not traceable in plains of India during summer months. Thus, it was hypothesized that aphids migrate from hilly areas to plains of India to avoid extremely low temperatures in winter season. However, this ‘Hills to Plain Hypothesis’ failed to highlight the exact route of aphid migration and the exact source of aphid population. Recently, Ghosh et al. [54] have studied the migration behavior of

Cold and cloudy conditions are generally favorable for the development of mustard aphid [69], while extreme weather events like sub-zero temperature, fog, frost, rains and thunderstorms and very high temperature are the leading abiotic mortality factors. Mean maximum temperature of 17–18°C favors rapid population multiplication [58] while very low temperature during December and high temperature after March have detrimental effect on its multiplication. Hsiao [70] reported that
5.1 Cultural management
5.1.1 Sowing time
Time of sowing has a significant influence on the damage caused by aphids on oilseed
5.1.2 Fertilizer application
Optimum nutrient application is an essential and often ignored component in both integrated pest as well as disease management. Excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers can make plants more succulent [91] and susceptible to insect attack [92].
5.1.3 Irrigation
In an agroecosystem, plants encounter multiple stresses that can influence their physiology and chemical composition including plant secondary metabolites. Drought/water stress not only influences plant physiology leading to decreased growth, but also leads to changes in profile of secondary metabolites and allocation of resources [99, 100, 101, 102]. Water stressed mustard plants were reported to support lower population of
Besides changes in primary metabolites, water stress also leads to changes in plant secondary metabolites. Variations in glucosinolates may be in part responsible for observed variation in insect performance. Previous studies have reported decrease in glucosinolate levels in water stressed plants [100, 101]. Unlike generalist aphids, specialist aphids may tolerate glucosinolates in their host plants. However, there is general lack of complete understanding w.r.t. to effect of drought stress on secondary metabolite accumulation in relation to impact on plant resistance against aphids with different feeding specializations. Mewis et al. [102] reported a general trend of increase in levels of sucrose, several amino acids such as glutamic acid, proline, isoleucine and lysine while decrease in the levels of 4-methoxyindol-3-yl methyl glucosinolate was observed in water stressed plants. On the other hand, Chadda and Arora [107] observed a reduction in amino acids concentration in water stressed plants which in turn resulted in amino acid imbalance in aphid excretion resulting in reduced fecundity.
Bakhetia and Brar [109] reported a heavy aphid infestation on mustard grown under rainfed conditions with very high damage while irrigated crop maintained a good crop stand despite high aphid pressure partly due to differences in plant vigor.
5.2 Biological control
The term biological control covers a broad range of macro and microorganisms (e.g. parastitoids, predators, bacteria, virus, fungi, etc.), botanical extracts, semiochemicals and secondary metabolites from living organisms. The entomopathogenic fungus
Aphid natural enemies can also be used for its management under field conditions. Like other agricultural systems,
In addition to predators, small aphid parasitoids,
5.3 Chemical control
At present, there is no stable resistant cultivar available against aphid pests in rapeseed-mustard. Thus, in their absence, insecticides are and will continue to be the major component of any pest management programme. In a developing country like India, farmers use them as the primary method of pest management as they find it easily available, economical and effective method of pest management. However, in an ideal pest management programme, insecticides should be used as the last option when all other alternative methods fail to provide satisfactory control since there are many problems associated with their use including environmental pollution, insecticide resistance and resurgence and pesticide residues in oil and cake. In India, pesticides are extensively used in rapeseed-mustard, but their application is mostly erratic. The fields requiring pesticide application are left unsprayed while other fields are sprayed indiscriminately and unnecessarily [124]. Even in a developed country like UK, the indiscriminate use of insecticides of vegetable
5.4 Integrated pest management
The sustainable solution to pest problems revolves around amalgamation of all the available and viable pest management strategies. However, in developing countries including India farmers are largely dependent on the use of synthetic chemicals due to their easily availability and quick results. The well known example of control failures of diamondback moth,
Even in the developed country like UK, guidelines to manage aphids and insecticide resistance management have been published [134, 135], but insecticides are not selected on the basis of being less harmful to aphid natural enemies [136, 137]. A well established pest monitoring and forecasting system also exists in UK. In contrary to developing countries, it is supposed that growers in UK will follow the advice of extension functionaries—but this is not true. Most of the

6. Traditional approaches in breeding for aphid resistance
6.1 Screening methodology
Screening for source of resistance is the first step in development of an insect resistant cultivar. A very large number of attempts have been made in the past to identify sources of resistance in primary gene pool of crop
6.1.1 Seedling stage screening
Screening at seedling stage is more desirable than field screening at adult plant stage because of the cost and efforts involved. However, resistance at seedling stage may not express at adult plant stage and no serious effort has been made to correlate seedling stage resistance with the adult plant resistance. Earlier, Bakhetia and Bindra [144] had attempted to develop seedling stage screening method against
6.1.2 Adult plant stage screening
Contrary to the seedling stage screening, this is the most widely used method in screening for aphid resistance in
Based on the aphid injury level, different injury grades for field screening are given to the plants as follows:
Aphid infestation index (AII) | Description |
---|---|
0 | Free from aphid infestation. Even if a single wingless aphid is present, the plant is considered infested. Plants showing excellent growth. |
1 | Normal growth, no curling or yellowing of the leaves, except only a few aphids along with little or no symptoms of injury. Good flowering or pod setting on almost all the branches. |
2 | Average growth, curling and yellowing of a few leaves. Average flowering and pod setting on all the branches. |
3 | Growth below average, curling and yellowing of the leaves on some branches. Plants showing some stunting, poor flowering and little pod setting. |
4 | Very poor growth, heavy curling and the yellowing of leaves, stunting of plants, little or no flowering and only a few pods forming. Heavy aphid colonies on plants. |
5 | Heavy stunting of plants; curling, crinkling and yellowing of almost all the leaves. No flowering and pod formation. Plants full of aphids. |
Bakhetia and Sandhu [145].
Based on the degree of damage, an injury grade is given to every observed plant. The Aphid Infestation Index (AII) is calculated by multiplying the number of plants falling under each injury grade with their respective grade number. AII is calculated at pre-flowering, flowering and pod formation stages as:
where a, b, c, d, e, and f are the number of plants falling under each injury grade.
The different test entries are classified into different resistance categories based on the AII as:
Aphid infestation index (AII) | Reaction |
---|---|
0.00–1.50 | Resistant |
1.51–2.50 | Moderately resistant |
2.51–3.50 | Susceptible |
>3.50 | Highly susceptible |
Higher the AII, lower is the level of resistance in an entry.
6.1.3 Other screening methods
Recently, Dhillon et al. [146] evaluated twig cage, whole plant cage, plot cage and uncaged plants methods to look for efficient screening method against
In addition to this, aphid population at a particular stage and an increase in population during a given time interval can also be used in germplasm screening [38]. Kumar et al. [147] attempted to screen a diverse array of wild crucifers based both on the adult plant resistance and effect on aphid demographic parameters (survival, development and fecundity) and reported one wild
6.2 Conventional breeding
The three modalities of resistance include antixenosis, antibiosis and tolerance. Although, antixenosis does not exert any selection pressure on insect population and there is no risk of biotype development, it is rarely effective under no choice conditions as insects can learn to feed on less preferred host plant. In contrast, antibiosis exerts high selection pressure on the insect population leading to high risk of biotype development, a danger not applicable to tolerance. Insect population can be allowed to feed on the crop and growers would not need to control them, but they would breed population to infest their neighbors’ crops. Thus, an ideal resistance is a combination of all the three mechanisms [150].
Earlier workers have attempted to develop resistant cultivars using different breeding methods viz. intervarietal hybridization, induced mutagenesis or autotetraploidy.
In an attempt to develop aphid resistant cabbage variety, Lammerink [156] made selections from F3 generation of the cross (Broad Leaf Essex rape x Colder Swede) x giant rape. In addition to this, he also made recurrent selection in the crosses involving purple top white globe and Sjodin turnip. Kumar et al. [147] screened a diverse array of wild crucifers and found one wild
In addition, efforts have also been made to induce mutation in
6.3 Use of transgenic technology
Transgenic technology has emerged as an alternative breeding strategy to conventional breeding. Different strategies such as expression of protease inhibitors, RNA interference (RNAi), antimicrobial peptides and repellents can be employed for sap sucking insects such as aphids. Since aphids are phloem feeders, thus, phloem specific promoters can be used for expression of defense related compounds against them. This would lead to target specific expression of defense compounds with little/no effect on non-target insects. Further, it will also limit the GM-associated resource investment by plants to the plant tissues that are not attacked by the insect. The
Likewise Protease Inhibitors (PIs) can also be targeted to confer resistance in transgenic plants to insects, which inhibit/reduce the activity of enzymes involved in protein digestion (proteases). Toxic effects of PIs on insect-pests have been well demonstrated particularly those from order Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera [166]. In aphids, PIs ingested along with plant sap inhibit protein digestion in insect gut leading to disruption in amino acid assimilation subsequently leading to adverse effect on insect growth and its ability to cause plant damage. Successful attempts have been made to express PIs such as trypsin inhibitors and chymotrypsin inhibitors in phloem of transgenic plant [167, 168]. Barley cystein proteinase inhibitor, HvCPI-6 is reported to inhibit performance of
In addition to PIs, lectins also exhibit high toxicity against sap sucking insects including aphids. Lectins are proteins that selectively bind to carbohydrates and carbohydrate moieties of glycoproteins leading to poisonous effect on the insect. The poisonous effects of lectins have been demonstrated on a number of insects, especially the sap sucking insects [171, 172]. A number of genes coding for different lectins have been introduced in
RNAi is gaining increased attention as another potential strategy to confer resistance against insects. It involves suppression of genes at the level of RNA (posttranslational RNA-mediated gene silencing). Transgenic plants that delivered dsRNA to
7. Induced resistance
Plants are known to increase the level of many defense related compounds post insect infestation. This induction of resistance after insect feeding has also been reported in
8. Conclusion
The continuous coevolutionary history of aphids and members of family Brassicaceae have enabled these plants to evolve an array of defense related genes. However, plant breeding efforts have largely focused on selection for yield related and quality traits such as low glucosinolates and erucic acid traits with little attention to retain the adequate levels of insect and disease resistance. This lead to the loss of defense related genes in these crops over the time. Further, availability of chemical control measures at that time downgraded the importance of host plant resistance since chemical control was thought to be satisfactory and invulnerable. However, later it was realized that though insecticides can provide a short term pest control and host plant resistance can provide effective, economical and environment friendly pest management option. Thus, early plant breeders focused on host plant resistance as a single component of pest management and laid more emphasis on screening for virtual immunity to aphids. Immunity/high level of resistance can result from very high level of toxic substance (toxic to aphids) in host plant which can exert high selection pressure on aphid population leading to the development new biotypes, possible side effects on non-target organisms including honeybees and yield drag. Thus, partial resistance has potential role in sustainable pest management as varieties with partial resistance can be integrated with other pest management methods. At present, there is no effective IPM strategy against aphids due to lack of aphid resistant variety. Although, various workers have developed
To maintain sustainability of pest control and production systems, IPM should be seen as the best approach and host plant resistance can serve as core component of any IPM module. Rather than complete resistance, it is partial resistance that has greater potential to maintain such sustainability.
