ABSTRACT
Knowing the tritrophic interactions between plant-virus-insect is important in developing
sustainable pest management practices. Myzus persicae is a well-known plant viral vector
which can transmit over 40 plant viruses. We studied the impact of Cucumber mosaic virus
(CMV) infection in Nicotiana tabacum on the colony development of M. persicae to understand
how plant virus infection can affect vector growth and reproduction. Aphid growth,
reproduction and fecundity were significantly affected by the virus infection. The mean
relative growth rate of M. persicae on healthy plants was 0.29 mg–1 · mg–1 · day–1 and was
significantly higher than that of CMV-infected plants (0.23 mg–1 · mg–1 · day–1). In contrast,
the percentage of survival was significantly higher on CMV-infected plants. The estimated
survival percentages of aphids at 20 days after introduction to CMV-infected and healthy
plants were 55.8 and 25.8%, respectively. Therefore, the total population of aphids on CMVinfected
plants was significantly higher on the 25th day after the introduction of aphids.
The total population of aphids on the CMV-infected plants was 1,225 compared to that of
healthy plants which was 713. Similarly, mean fecundity over a 30 day observation period
was 61.25 and 35.65 for aphids grown on CMV-infected and healthy plants, respectively.
Jasmonic acid (JA) upstream gene OPR3 and downstream gene COI1 was measured to
quantify the changes in JA expression in the plants under the virus infection. Both genes
tested were significantly downregulated in CMV-infected plants. From our results, it was
evident that the JA related insect resistance was reduced in CMV-infected plants and hence
aphid colony development was increased.
