Aphis fabae

Faba bean, Vicia faba cultured hydroponically with nutrient solutions containing 100 mg Cu/L for 24 days shoots analyzed before (day 4) and after (day 24) 20-day infestation by the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae. Controls were raised Aphid infestation caused a significant reduction in copper content of shoots from 51 mg Cu/kg DW to 17 mg/kg copper in control was 25 mg/kg DW prior to aphid infestation and 14 mg/kg after 20-day infestation 3...

Hooked trichomes on the French bean, Phaseolus vulgaris have been reported to capture a diverse group of insect species including the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (17), and the aphids, Myzus perslcae (18), Aphis fabae (19), and Aphis craccivora (20)1 A recent study has shown that the major factor... 

Learning is not required for the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi to recognize pea plants that are damaged by its specific host, the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Du et al, 1998 Powell et al., 1998). This parasitoid is far more attracted by pea plants infested by this host than by pea plants infested by a non-host, Aphis fabae. Implicated in the specificity of the signal is 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, a substance that was only detected in the odor profile of plants infested by A. pisum (Wadhams et al., 1999) the pure compound was found to be highly attractive to A. ervi (Du etal., 1998).

Two aphid species were listed by Hills (1987) as minor pests (Aphis fabae Scopoli and Aphis gossypii Glover). A number of other aphid species (e.g., Aphis debilicornus Gillette Palmer, Aphis helianthi Monell, Aphis ranunculi Kaltenbach, and Trama rara Mordvilko) have also been...

Variability in induced plant volatiles complicates the reliance of natural enemies on these cues. One way of dealing with variability is through associative learning, which may allow parasitoids to learn which cues are most likely to lead them to suitable hosts at a particular time in a particular area. Moreover, recent studies suggest that plant volatile blends alone carry specific information on the herbivores by which they are attacked. For example, predatory mites can distinguish between the blends of apple trees infested by two herbivores species (20). Du et al. (21) showed that different aphid species elicit different volatile blends in bean plants and that the aphid parasitoid, Aphidius ervi, can use these differences to distinguish plants infested by its host. Aphis pisum from those infested by a nonhost. Aphis fabae...
