ABSTRACT
The cyclitols:
d
-pinitol,
d
-
chiroinositol are naturally present in the tissues of
Lupinus angustifolius.
The effect of these cyclitols on the behaviour of the pea associated clone of
Acyrthosiphon pisum
during various stages of probing was studied. The main
stage of probing studied was the stylet penetration in mesphyll and vascular bundle.
d
-pinitol,
d
-
chironositol and their mixture were
exogenously applied to pea
Pisum sativum
explants and the aphid probing behaviour was evaluated using the Electrical Penetration
Graph technique (EPG). Feeding of peas with cyclitols at a concentration of 10 mM, caused a selective accumulation of
d
-pinitol and
d
-
chiroinositol in stems, leaf petioles, and leaf blades. In aphid bodies, both cyclitols were traced, respectively, to the host plant treatment. The new cyclitols in pea tissues did not significantly affect the total duration and frequency of aphid activities during probing
in peripheral as well as vascular tissues. However, the aphid behaviour on cyclitol-treated plants as compared to their behaviour on
the control was slightly altered. Non-probing and probing in mesophyl prevailed among aphid activities during the initial period of
stylet penetration. Aphids on
d
-pinitol+
d
-
chiroinositol-treated plants reached phloem vessels relatively later than aphids on the con-
trol and
d
-
chiroinositol plants. There were recurrent switches between E1 (salivation) and E2 (sap ingestion) patterns in some aphids
during the phloem phase on
d
-pinitol
and
d
-pinitol+
d
-
chiroinositol – treated plants. This may reflect difficulties in the uptake of the
phloem sap, and point to lupin cyclitols as being responsible, at least in part, for the rejection of
L. angustifolius
as a host plant by the
pea clone of
A. pisum
