Abstract

Present study was aimed to identify the sources of resistance and decipher associated mechanisms of resistance in wild crucifers against mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach). The experiment was conducted in Division of Entomology, ICAR - Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during the year 2019-2021 cropping seasons. The study revealed significant differences for various plant phytochemicals and L. erysimi biological attributes when fed on the test wild crucifers. Total nymphal duration of L. erysimi was notably longer on Crambe abyssinica (EC694069, EC694071, EC694075) and Eruca sativa (IC62597) than on other test genotypes including B. juncea cultivars. Furthermore, mustard aphid exhibited extended reproductive and total development periods on Diplotaxis viminea and Enarthrocarpus lyratus while showed poor fecundity and progeny survival on Lepidium sativum as compared to other test genotypes. Genotypes like E. sativa (IC57705, IC60468, IC62597), D. assurgens and C. abyssinica (EC694069, EC694071, EC694075, EC694090) had significantly higher levels of total proteins, sugars, phenols, tannins, total antioxidants, and FRAP. These phytochemicals explained 78.14% of variability in fecundity and 55.93% variability in offspring survival, indicating their influence on L. erysimi development. The wild crucifers genotypes with elevated biochemical constituents particularly, E. sativa (IC57705, IC60468, IC62597), B. tournefortii (RBT 2002, RBT 2003), L. sativum, C. abyssinica (EC694069, EC694071, EC694075, EC694090), D. assurgens, negatively impacted aphid reproduction and survival, suggesting their potential in breeding programs for developing aphid resistant Indian mustard.
