Facilitation of infestation by aphid feeding behaviour is not affected by aphid resistance in oilseed rape.

The relation between aphids and Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) in oilseed rape is rarely examined because they are often studied alone. We have observed a significant correlation between the number of aphids and the occurrence of SSR in our field studies. Electropenetrography (EPG) was used to evaluate the effects of (Linnaeus) on two oilseed rape cultivars while acquiring, vectoring and inoculating of Lib.

Aphids May Facilitate the Spread of Sclerotinia Stem Rot in Oilseed Rape by Carrying and Depositing Ascospores.

Aphids and Sclerotinia stem rot in oilseed rape are often studied in isolation, and their relationship is rarely explored. Our field studies have revealed a significant positive correlation between the number of aphids and the incidence of Sclerotinia stem rot. Hence, starting with the colonizing stages of the two pests, was assessed for its potential to acquire, transmit, and inoculate by being sprayed with an ascospore suspension.

Aphids on Aphid-Susceptible Cultivars Have Easy Access to Turnip Mosaic Virus, and Effective Inoculation on Aphid-Resistant Cultivars of Oilseed Rape ().

Plant viruses improve transmission efficiency by directly and indirectly influencing vector behavior, but the impact of plant cultivars on these modifications is rarely studied. Using electropenetrography (EPG) technology, a comparative study of the effects of turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) infection on quantitative probing behaviors of the cabbage aphid () was conducted on two oilseed rape cultivars ('Deleyou6' and 'Zhongshuang11'). Compared to mock-inoculated plants, cabbage aphids on infected plants increased the frequency of brief probing, cell penetration, and salivation.

Turnip Mosaic Virus Infection Differentially Modifies Cabbage Aphid Probing Behavior in Spring and Winter Oilseed Rape ().

Direct and indirect effects of plant virus infection on vector behavior have been discovered to improve virus transmission efficiency, but the impact of plant cultivars in virus-vector-plant interactions has received little attention. Electropenetrography (EPG) allows real-time tracking and quantification of stylet penetration behaviors, pathogen transmission, and plant resistance mechanisms. Quantitative probing behaviors on a spring oilseed rape cultivar, 'Xinyou17', and a winter oilseed rape cultivar, 'Zheping4', were investigated using EPG to compare turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) regulation of cabbage aphid probing behavior.
