Abstract

CUF 101, a resistant cultivar of alfalfa, was exposed to 15 clones of Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris collected from alfalfa fields in three regions of France (east, south, central west) to determine whether the level of resistance varied across the different clones. The survival of alfalfa seedlings infested at the cotyledon stage was assessed using a standardized method. Although no difference in seedling mortality was detected between clones grouped by region, there was a significant variation among the 15 pea aphid clones. In particular, two clones of southern origin were more aggressive. In addition, the different pea aphid clones were characterized using allozyme and RAPD-PCR markers. Among the 15 clones, seven allozyme genotypes (plus one when adding colour polymorphism) and 12 RAPD-PCR genotypes were distinguished. The two southern clones differing by their aggressiveness on the resistant alfalfa belonged to the same allozyme and RAPD genotype which was distinct from the other pea aphid clones. Our results reinforce the need to take into account aphid genetic diversity in breeding programmes for resistance in cultivated plants.
