Polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activity in the glandular trichomes of 32Solanum tuberosum ×S. berthaultii F3 hybrid clones differentially resistant to the green peach aphid,Myzus persicae (Sulzer) was determined. Within this population of segregating clones, aphid infestation levels varied 8-fold, while a 5-fold difference in glandular trichome PPO activity was observed.
Polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities were detected in foliar glandular trichomes of the wild, insect-resistant potato species, Solanum berthaultii. These enzyme activities may provide the basis for conversion of clear, viscous trichome exudate into a hard, brown substance which is formed rapidly after insect attack.
