Abstract:

In order to study the interaction mediated by exogenous calcium between Triticum aestivum L. and Schizaphis graminum(Rondani), wheat seeds were soaked with calcium chloride solution (CaCl2 treatment), while seeds soaked with distilled water were taken as control (CK). The changes of peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and β-1,3-glucanase (β-1,3-GA) activity in wheat leaves were detected at 0, 24, 48, 72 h after aphids infestation. Meanwhile, glutathione S-transferase (GSTs), carboxylesterase (CarE) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activities in aphids fed on wheat plant for 0, 24, 48, 72 h were tested as well. It was found that the aphids infestation significantly (P<0.05) induced POD, PAL and β-1,3-GA activities in wheat leaves, but PPO activity did not increase, while CaCl2 treatment further significantly (P<0.05) enhanced activities of POD, PAL and β-1,3-GA. Besides,PPO activity in wheat plants was significantly (P<0.05) higher under CaCl2 treatment than that under CK. Meanwhile, the activities of detoxification enzymes (GSTs, CarE and CYP450) in aphids fed on CaCl2-treated plants were significantly (P<0.05) increased as compared with those fed on control plants. Collectively, the present results indicated that the exogenous calcium could induce the activities of defensive enzymes in wheat plants, while aphids increased their detoxification enzymes activities to adapt the enhanced defense of wheat.

Key words: wheat, Schizaphis graminum(Rondani), exogenous calcium, defense enzyme, detoxification enzyme
