ABSTRACT
The effect of some species of the
Fabaceae
family (the pea
Pisum sativum
L.,
broad bean
Vicia faba
L. and vetch
V. sativa
L
.
)
on biochemical markers of oxidative stress within tissues of the pea aphid,
Acyrthosiphon pisum
Harris (Homoptera, Aphididae), has
been studied. The highest concentration of superoxide anion radical (O
2
─
), hydrogen peroxide (H
2
O
2
) and lipid peroxidation products
thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) was recorded for morphs that fed on the broad bean. The opposite tendency was
observed for the level of total thiols, that were the highest for insects reared on the pea. Among the studied aphid morphs, the highest
concentration of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide was noted for the wingless females whereas TBARS content was the highest within the winged migrant tissues. Different results were obtained for the total thiols, where
apterae
as well as migrants reared on
the tested plants, had comparable content of these compounds. Our experiments indicate that oxidative stress may play an important
role in interactions between the pea aphid and their host plants
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The authors have declared that no conflict of interests exist.
