Abstract excerpt
Host resistance to aphids is poorly understood. Medicago truncatula, a model legume and cultivated pasture species, was used to elucidate defense against two aphid species, Therioaphis trifolii f. maculata (spotted alfalfa aphid, SAA) and Acyrthosiphon kondoi (bluegreen aphid, BGA). Aphid performance and plant damage were compared between near-isogenic cultivars, Mogul and Borung, that differ in resistance to...
