Pea transcriptional and phytohormonal responses to adapted and non-adapted aphid biotypes at early stages of infestation.

Abstract excerpt

Pea (Pisum sativum L.), a major legume crop, is affected by various parasites including the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris). The pea aphid is composed of multiple biotypes, each one being able to feed and reproduce on one or a few legume species. To understand the pea defense mechanisms to a pea adapted and a non-adapted A. pisum biotype, we studied the early molecular responses of four pea genotypes with...
