Brevicoryne brassicae

The effect of plant age on the host selection process has been observed by comparison of two aphid species on brasslca plants (56). A specialist, Brevicoryne brassicae prefers young leaves, which are higher in glucoslnolates, whereas the generalist, Myzus persicae prefers older leaves, where amino acids are more Important in the selection process.

We have recently reported the first purification of an insect myrosinase and its partial characterization from the cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae).9 Of all aphids examined for myrosinase,10 only the crucifer specialists, B. brassicae and Lipaphis erysimi, possessed activity although some other polyphagous aphids such as Myzus persicae can also feed on crucifers.
