Abstract
Host food preference, screening and phylogenetic analysis of Wolbachia in Myzus persicae populations
Highlights
Myzus persicae, aphids are grubby pests of agriculture globally owing to their aptitude for the efficacious aerial diaspora
Overall mean results exhibited that the maximum population growth was recorded on natural in greenhouse conditions as compared to artificial diets in lab conditions
The host preference means datasets exhibited significant results for eggplant and cabbage as compared to other host plants though lettuce and broccoli are very close to the cabbage in host partiality whereas carrot and papaya were less preferred by M. persicae (Fig. 1 b)
Summary
Aphids are grubby pests of agriculture globally owing to their aptitude for the efficacious aerial diaspora. Aphids encompass more than 4700 species in 600 genera (Loxdale et al, 1993; Van Emden, 2017; Blackman and Eastop, 2018) and due to their feeding demeanor, these are the most vivacious plant virus trajectories, transmitting about 30% among entire plant virus sorts (Brault et al, 2010) These explicate hurriedly emerging organisms with high levels of discrepancy and differ in their host preference (Loxdale and Lushai, 2007; Loxdale et al, 1993 & 2017). Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted endosymbiont belonging to the α-proteobacterium (Werren et al., 2008; Hilgenboecker et al, 2008) These microbes are possibly the most conjoint intracellular symbiont in the atmosphere, tainting an appraised 25–75% of the entomological sorts (Hilgenboecker et al, 2008; Jeyaprakash and Hoy, 2000). We performed comprehensive screening, sequencing of the mitochondrial COI gene and wsp amplification for evaluation
