Ten decamer random primers were used to evaluate genetic variation among the examined samples. Despite the variability found between clones, no specific RAPD marker was detected to discriminate the different populations. A significant finding was that aphids from peach and pepper, which were collected far away from tobacco-growing regions, especially those from peach, showed genetic divergence from the tobacco-feeding clones. Moreover, data analysis revealed a significant genetic divergence between holocyclic and anholocyclic populations from tobacco.

Two main laboratory experiments were conducted: (i) one clonal lineage was studied on all six varieties; and (ii) four varieties were assayed with two other lineages. Aphid development, fecundity, longevity and mortality were recorded and life-table characteristics estimated for all varieties. The results showed that leaf trichome density was significantly correlated with aphid performance (i.e. positive correlation with intrinsic rate of increase and fecundity, and negative correlation with developmental time) in both experiments. Leaf hairiness was at least partly responsible for the poorer performance in cotton aphid lineages. We hypothesise that other factors such as allelochemicals (e.g., gossypol, tannins), which are known to affect hemipteran insects, also might be involved. {\textcopyright} 2006 Taylor \& Francis.}, keywords = {Aphis gossypii, COTTON, Homoptera, Intrinsic rate of increase, Leaf trichome, performance, Varieties}, author = {Zarpas, K.D. and Margaritopoulos, J.T. and Stathi, L. and Tsitsipis, J.A.} } @proceedings {13481, title = {Pezothrips kellyanus (Bagnall) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a new pest of citrus trees in Crete}, year = {2002}, month = {7-13.10.2002}, pages = {220}, address = {Thessaloniki}, keywords = {KAPE}, author = {Varikou, K.N. and Tsitsipis, J.A. and Alexandrakis, V.Z. and Mound, L.A.} } @article {13179, title = {First record of the grapevine aphid Aphis illinoisensis in the island of Kriti, Greece}, journal = {EPPO BulletinEPPO Bulletin}, volume = {35}, number = {3}, year = {2005}, note = {Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Baker, A.C., Life history of Macrosiphum illinoisensis, the grapevine aphis (1917) Journal of Agricultural Research, 11, pp. 85-89; Blackman, R.L., Eastop, V.F., (2000) Aphids on the World{\textquoteright}s Crops, 2nd Edn., , Wiley, Chichester (GB); Remaudie?re, G., Sertkaya, E., O?zdemir, I., Alerte!

In the present study their taxonomic status was evaluated by DNA confirmatory analysis and hybridization experiments between M. pygmaeus and a Macrolophus taxon, resembling M. melanotoma, with a first antennal segment entirely black or with a white central band collected from Dittrichia viscosa (L.) W. Greuter (Asteraceae) in southern Greece. Adult females from Dittrichia plants hybridized with males of M. pygmaeus and vice versa did not produce viable eggs. The Macrolophus species from Dittrichia irrespective of the first antennal segment coloration differed from M. pygmaeus in digestive patterns generated by AseI, XbaI, and MseI on 16S rRNA and in RAPD profiles produced by the primers OPA-18 and OPA-20. These results demonstrate that on Dittrichia plants there is a distinct dimorphic taxon, M. melanotoma, as it is the only species of the genus Macrolophus bearing a first antennal segment with a central white band.

The clones originated from primary and secondary hosts from different localities of North and Central Greece and the island of Crete in the south. Four different overwintering life cycle strategies were found that have also been described for M. persicae and other heteroecious species previously. A geographical variation was found in the proportion of holocyclic clones from tobacco and other secondary hosts associated with the abundance of the primary host in the sampling regions. In Central Macedonia, around the main peach-growing regions, the proportion of holocyclic clones was mostly above 50\% and in some cases reached 100\%. In localities of East Macedonia, holocyclic clones were also frequent. On the other hand, further south or in north-eastern Greece, where peach is not common, the proportion of holocyclic clones varied between 0 and 33\%. Fifty seven percent of examined anholocyclic clones produced males under short day conditions, suggesting that androcyclic clones in Greece represent an important factor of genetic variability. Intermediate clones were sampled from all host-plants but at low frequencies (3.6\% of total examined clones and 6.9\% of nonholocyclic ones). Moreover, a regional variation was found in different colour forms feeding on tobacco plants. Red clones were predominant in regions where aphids overwinter parthenogenetically on weeds or winter crops. However, almost all clones from the primary host were green.

In one clone, observations were continued until the 21st generation after egg hatch. In addition, the production of sexual morphs was examined in two other clones originating from Lehonia, Central Greece, when apterae (wingless females) were transferred from long to short days and 17{\textdegree}C in the second and eighth generation of parthenogenetic rearing after their collection from peach trees. In clones from Naousa, the first gynoparae appear and comprise 10\% of alate (winged) females in the second half of the third generation after egg hatch. The percentage of gynoparae increased in each consecutive generation, reaching 100\% in fifth and seventh generations in clones Nb and Na, respectively. First males appeared later than gynoparae, in fifth and sixth generation in clones Nb and Na, respectively.

The clones were collected from peach, Prunus persica, the primary host and the secondary hosts tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum, cabbage, Brassica oleracea, sugarbeet, Beta vulgaris and pepper Capsicum annuum. The 156 clones originated from various regions of Greece, both in the north, where a large part of the population has an annual bisexual generation on peach, and in more southerly regions, where populations are predominantly unisexual. One clone was collected from tobacco in Caserta, Italy. All clones were laboratory-reared on potato. Canonical variate analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis and a non-parametric classification tree method both revealed morphological differences associated with the host-plant on which they were collected. The scores of the first two canonical variates separated the tobacco-feeding clones from those originating from other secondary host-plants. However, in tobacco-growing areas the tobacco-feeding form predominated in spring populations on peach, and was sometimes found on other secondary hosts. In addition, using cluster analysis, the clones from tobacco which were sampled in the most southeasterly region showed a relatively large phenotypic distance from those collected further north and west. Moreover, clonal phenotypes were affected both by host plant and by long-term parthenogenetic rearing. However, in spite of these effects, the tobacco form was generally distinguishable from aphids originating from other hosts, indicating that the difference must have a genetic basis. In separate analyses of the clones originating from secondary hosts no association was found between morphology and either life cycle category or colour. Discriminant analysis showed that 89\% of 1723 specimens could be correctly classified into the two groups.}, keywords = {Homoptera}, author = {Margaritopoulos, J.T. and Tsitsipis, J.A. and Zintzaras, E. and Blackman, R.L.} } @article {9300, title = {Attempted discrimination of Myzus persicae and Myzus nicotianae (Homoptera: Aphididae) by random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction technique}, journal = {Annals of the Entomological Society of AmericaAnnals of the Entomological Society of America}, volume = {91}, number = {5}, year = {1998}, note = {TY - JOURCited By (since 1996): 17Export Date: 7 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Aboodi, A.Al., Ffrench-Constant, R.H., RAPD PCR confirms absence of genetic variation between insecticide resistant variants of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Homoptera:Aphididae) (1995) Gt.

We failed to detect any consistent differences in RAPD banding pattern between clones from tobacco and those from other plants collected from Greece, casting doubt on whetyher M. Nicotianae should be regarded as a distinct species.

The clones were collected from tobacco from three localities in Greece (Xanthi, Nea Efessos and Naphplion), one in Germany (Rheinstetten), one in France (Bergerac) and one in Spain (Madrid). Before morphometrics, all aphids were laboratory-reared on potato. The morphological variation was investigated using both canonical variates analysis and a novel non-parametric classification tree method. The life cycle category was examined by rearing the clones for three generations under short day conditions. In Nea Efessos a relative high proportion of clones was found to overwinter as eggs on the primary host. In the other regions all collected clones were non-holocyclic. Intermediate genotypes were found in all regions at percentages ranging from 4.0 to 24.0\%. Androcyclic clones were found only in Xanthi, Greece (4.0\%) and Rheinstetten, Germany (16.7\%). The canonical variates analysis and the tree classification method revealed important intrapopulation polymorphisms in clones from Bergerac, Nea Efessos and Madrid. Both methods separated the populations originating from Greece from those collected elsewhere in western Europe. The observed morphological variation was probably due to genetic differences, since all clones were reared in a common environment. The results are discussed in relation to factors responsible for genetic divergence in M. persicae populations.}, keywords = {Homoptera}, author = {Kephalogianni, T.E. and Tsitsipis, J.A. and Margaritopoulos, J.T. and Zintzaras, E. and Delon, R. and Blanco Martin, I. and Schwaer, W.} } @proceedings {7370, title = {Structure of the aphid communities if Greece}, year = {1999}, month = {18-23.9.1999}, pages = {177}, address = {Halkidiki}, keywords = {kape homoptera}, author = {Karandinos, M.G. and Saitanis, C.J. and Katis, N. and Tsitsipis, J.A.} } @article {7257, title = {The spatial pattern of Aphis gossypii on cotton}, journal = {Entomologia HellenicaEntomologia Hellenica}, volume = {12}, pages = {23-29}, keywords = {kape homoptera}, author = {Kapatos, E.T. and Stratopoulou, E.T. and Tsitsipis, J.A. and Lycouresis, D.P. and Alexandri, M.P.} } @article {2654, title = {Influence of the population of Sesamia nonagrioides (Lep.: Noctuidae) in central Greece.}, journal = {EntomophagaEntomophaga}, volume = {35}, number = {1}, year = {1990}, pages = {61-70.}, keywords = {Lepidoptera}, author = {Alexandri, M.P. and Tsitsipis, J.A.} }
