Abstract
The destructive aphid (Sitobion avenae) of wheat, generally accomplished by chemical pesticides, is responsible for the substantial agricultural damages that occur annually. The present experimental study, a protein elicitor, PeBL1, has been examined for the possibility of inducing a defense response to S. avenae in wheat. In comparison to the positive (Water) and negative 70.58 μg ml−1 (50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0) controls, the population growth (intrinsic Increase) rates of S. avenae (second and third generation) with PeBL1-treated wheat seedlings declined. S. avenae preferred control plants for colonizing in an experiment with the host selection compared with the PeBL1-treated wheat plants, with PeBL1 treated wheat seedlings; the nymphal development time of aphid has been extended. In comparison with positive (water) and negative controls, less fecundity was observed with less offspring's in PeBL1-treated wheat seedlings. S. avenae had a harmful surface environment for wheat seedlings treated with PeBL1, caused by trichomes and wax formation. The level of Jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA) and ethylene (ET) was significantly higher, and the PeBL1 treated wheat seedlings had significant accumulations. The findings presented that PeBL1 considerably altered the wheat surface structure so that the replication of S. avenae was minimized and colonization was prevented. Defensive processes also include pathway activation (JA, SA, and ET). A biocontrol study for the use of PeBL1 in the protection against S. avenae has been produced in this area.
