Abstract: | "The spr2 mutation in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), which disrupts function of FATTY ACID DESATURASE 7 (FAD7), confers resistance to the potato aphid (Macrosiphum euphorbiae) and modifies the plant’s C6 volatile profiles. To investigate whether C6 volatiles play a role in resistance, HYDROPEROXIDE LYASE (HPL), which encodes a critical enzyme in C6 volatile synthesis, was silenced in wild-type tomato plants and spr2 mutants. Silencing HPL in wild-type tomato increased potato aphid host preference and reproduction on 5-week old plants but had no influence on 3-week old plants. The spr2 mutation, in contrast, conferred strong aphid resistance at both 3 and 5 weeks, and silencing HPL in spr2 did not compromise this aphid resistance. Moreover, a mutation in the FAD7 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana also conferred resistance to the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) in a genetic background that carries a null mutation in HPL. These results indicate that HPL contributes to certain forms of aphid resistance in tomato, but that the effects of FAD7 on aphids in tomato and Arabidopsis are distinct from and independent of HPL" |
