Abstract

AbstractPlants in the genusErysimumproduce both glucosinolates and cardiac glycosides as defense against herbivory. Two natural isolates ofErysimum cheiranthoides(wormseed wallflower) differed in their glucosinolate content, cardiac glycoside content, and resistance toMyzus persicae(green peach aphid), a broad generalist herbivore. Both classes of defensive metabolites were produced constitutively and were not induced further by aphid feeding. To investigate the relative importance of glucosinolates and cardiac glycosides inE. cheiranthoidesdefense, we generated an improved genome assembly, genetic map, and segregating F2 population. Genotypic and phenotypic analysis of the F2 plants identified quantitative trait loci affecting glucosinolates and cardiac glycosides, but not aphid resistance. The abundance of most glucosinolates and cardiac glycosides was positively correlated in the F2 population, indicating that similar processes regulate their biosynthesis and accumulation. Aphid reproduction was positively correlated with glucosinolate content. Although overall cardiac glycoside content had little effect on aphid growth and survival, there was a negative correlation between aphid reproduction and helveticoside abundance. However, this variation in defensive metabolites could not explain the differences in aphid growth on the two parental lines, suggesting that processes other than the abundance of glucosinolates and cardiac glycosides have a predominant effect on aphid resistance inE. cheiranthoides.
