Transmission of important plant viruses by aphids
ŠEDOVÁ, Anna
This bachelor thesis deals with aphids as vectors of many important plant viruses. The work describes the various mechanisms of virus transmission by insect vectors. Aphids can cause huge losses in the yield of cultivated crops and fruit trees due to the transmission of viruses. The aim of the work was to identify aphids as possible vectors of plant viruses by molecular methods. Analysis of aphid samples consisted of DNA isolation, amplification of the DNA COI gene by PCR and visualization of PCR products on an agarose gel. Amplified DNA samples were enzymatically purified and sent for sequencing to an external laboratory. Using the BLAST program, aphid species were identified according to the inserted sample sequences. Seven species of aphids (A. nasturtii, A. cacaliasteris, B. brassicae, D. platanoidis, M. euphorbiae, R. padi, U. cirsii) and two species of parasitoids (A. colemani, D. rapae) were identified.
