Abstract

Abstract: The studies concerned changes in the activities of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), lysine decarboxylase (LDC) and tyrosine decarboxylase (TyDC) in tissues of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) infested with bird cherry-oat aphid ( Rhopalosiphum padi L.). Obtained results showed that the activities of the enzymes were stimulated in the less susceptible wheat Kontesa cv. infested by the aphids. In the case of the more susceptible Tonacja cv., on most occasions a decrease in the enzyme activities occurred. Such responses were especially clear for TyDC in both analysed cvs., and for LDC and ODC in the case of Kontesa cv. Thus it may be concluded that amino acid decarboxylation plays an important part in the biochemical defence developed in wheat tissues in response to R. padi infestation. The changes in the activities of the decarboxylases were dependent on the wheat genotype as well as the duration of the infestation. Highlights: Amino acid decarboxylation in wheat infested by Ropalosiphum padi was studied. The aphid feeding induced LDC, ODC and TyDC activities in susceptible wheat cv. The enzymes were inhibited in more resistant wheat cv. infested by the aphid. Density of the changes was dependent on wheat cv. and duration of infestation.
