진딧물은 직접적으로 식물의 체관부를 흡즙함으로써 식물 피해를 줄 뿐 아니라 식물 바이러스를 매개하고 그을음병을 유발시켜 식물에 이차적인 피해를 준다. 식량작물에 영향을 주는 기장테두리진딧물(Rhopalosiphum padi), 싸리수염진딧물(Aulacorthum solani), 아카시아진딧물 (Aphis craccivora), 완두수염진딧물(Acyrthosiphon pisum)의 발육, 생존, 번식에 미치는 온도의 영향을 생명표분석을 통하여 비교하였다. 10, 15, 20, 25, 30°C에서 얻은 발육단계별 발육기간, 생존율, 성충수명, 성충산자 자료를 암수이용생명표분석(age-stage, two-sex life table analysis) 방법을 이용하여 생명표매개변수를 추정하였다. 싸리수염진딧물은 30도에서 성충으로 발육하지 못하였다. 15°C를 제외한 모든 온도에서 기장 테두리진딧물의 내적자연증가율이 가장 높았으며 (10, 20, 25, 30°C에서 0.12, 0.34, 0.47, 0.32) 30도에서 완두수염진딧물의 내적자연증가율은 음의 값 (-0.04)이었다. 식량작물을 가해하는 진딧물 4종의 생명표 매개변수 비교분석을 통해 저온 적응성이 높은 종은 싸리수염진딧물이었고 고온 환경에서는 기장테두리진딧물이 우점할 것으로 추정되었다.

The morphological identification of alate aphids needs reliable and appropriate methods such as morphometrics. In previous studies, the seven species which aphids have been known as migrating to potato had been separated into genus levels using specific points of forewing vein (Landmarks). Adding the number of secondary sensillum of antennae, setae of abdomen, etc., we experimented to separate four species of genus Aphis (Aphis craccivora, Aphis fabae, Aphis gossypii, Aphis spiraecola). After taking each of 25X twenty photographies of four species, we calculated and measured coordinates of landmarks, the number of secondary sensillum of antennae, dorsal setae of 8th abdominal segment, anterior/posterior genital plate setae and cauda, and then performed the principal component analysis using PAST3 and the canonical variate analysis using MORPHO J, only with a landmarks. As results, in PCA, Aphis gossypii has been separated, but the others are overlapping. In CVA, all species of aphis has been separated.

Parasitic wasps are a good source of natural enemies for pest control. Due to the presence of unique biodiversity in Ulleungdo and Dokdo Islands, we surveyed aphid parasitoids in these two islands. We collected aphids and their mummies then identified emerged wasps in both morphological and molecular ways. We found 6 species of aphid parasitoids belongs to Aphelinidae and Braconidae. Two species of the genus Aphelinus belongs to Aphelinidae were emerged from Aphis nasturtii and Macrosiphoniella formosatemisiae. Three species of the genus Aphidius belongs to Braconidae were emerged from Ahpis rumicis, M. formosatemisiae and Capitophorus elaeagni. One species of the genus Lysiphlebia belongs to Braconidae was emerged from Aphis gossypii, Molecular analysis provided genetic informations for species diagnosis of parasitoids. We also analyzed genetic and ecological informations of identified parasitoids to evaluate potential source of natural enemies.

진딧물은 감자에 다양한 바이러스병을 옮기는 대표적인 매개충이다. 따라서 감자밭으로 날아오는 진딧물을 방제하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 비래진딧물의 종류, 비래시기와 비래량, 바이러스 보독률 및 진딧물의 겨울철 월동기주를 구명하기 위하여 강원도 고랭지의 씨감자 생산지역 3곳 을 중심으로 진딧물 비래양상을 조사하였고, 비래초기부터 6월 하순까지 날아오는 진딧물의 잎말림바이러스(PLRV) 보독 여부를 조사하였다. 또한 진딧물의 이동방향을 따라 57종의 수목류 가지와 수피를 채집하여 월동중인 진딧물 알의 존재 여부를 조사하였다. 강릉 왕산 지역과 홍천 내 면 지역의 여름기주 비래최성기는 모두 6월 중순이었고 평창 횡계 지역은 5월 하순으로 나타났다. 겨울기주로 날아가는 비래최성기는 3개 지역 모두 10월 상순이었다. 비래진딧물의 2.8%가 PLRV를 갖고 있었으며, 진딧물 종류별 보독률은 복숭아혹진딧물 15.4%, 감자수염진딧물 9.1% 였다. 시기별로는 5월 하순부터 PLRV 보독 진딧물이 비래하였고 6월 중순에 비래한 진딧물의 바이러스 보독률이 10.4%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 고로쇠나무(Acer pictum subsp. mono (Maxim.)), 당단풍나무(Acer pseudosieboldianum (Pax)) 등 17종의 수목류에서 진딧물알이 월동하였다. 월동 진딧물은 복숭아혹진딧물(Myzus persicae), 홉사마귀진딧물(Phorodon humuli) 등 14종으로 동정되었다. 특히 자작나무진딧물(Betula platyphylla var. japonica), 단풍알락진딧물(Yamatocallis hirayamae) 등은 아직까지 감자에서 바이러스를 옮기는지 여부는 알려진 바 없지만, 넓 은 지역에 걸쳐 분포하는 기주식물에서 월동하기 때문에 앞으로 바이러스 매개 능력에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) can be transmitted permanently to potato plants by only several species of aphids. Myzuz persicae (Sulzer) is well-known to having the highest transmitting capability of PLRV. In order to investigate the PLRV transmission of aphids migrated to highland area in 2018, aphids caught in the yellow water-pan trap were inoculated on the young leaf of indicator plant, Physalis floridana, and inspected by visually and ELISA after 2~4 weeks. As a result, 2.8% of the totally migrated aphids showed virus infected symptom on the indicator plant. PLRV transmission rate of M. persicae and Macrosiphum euphorbiae was 15.4% and 9.1%, respectively. Also, seven aphids out of 265 unidentified aphids showed PLRV symptom in the leaves. PLRV-borne aphids started to fly into the fields from late May, and the virus infection rate was highest of 10.4% in mid-June. M. persicae caught in mid-June showed higher infection rate of 46.7%, but unidentified aphid of 8.3%. Compared with past years, PLRV transmission rate in 2018 has slightly dropped.

진딧물의 조기 방제를 위해 유시충의 동정이 필요하나 적절한 분류 동정법이 존재하지 않아 분류동정법의 기초자료로써 진딧물의 앞날개의 시맥을 형태계측학을 통하여 분석하여 진딧물의 앞날개로 분류가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 현재 우리나라에 알려진 감자 비래 진딧물 10종 중, Aphis craccivora, Aphis fabae, Aphis gossypii, Aphis spiraecola, Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominale, Myzus persicae, Brachycaudus helichrysi 총 7종의 유시충 표본에서 앞날개 부분을 25x 배율의 사진을 촬영하여 앞날개 이미지 파일을 확보했으며, 이미지 파일은 tpsDig2를 사용하여 앞날개 맥의 Landmarks를 표시하고, PASTsoftware 를 사용하여 각 진딧물의 Landmarks에 대한 주성분분석(Principle component analysis;PCA)을 수행하였다. 총 7종에 대한 PCA 결과, Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominale 는 다른 6종과 확연하게 구별할 수 있었으며, Myzus persicae 또한 다른 종들과 구별될 수 있었다. Aphis 속 4종과 Brachycaudus helichrysi 는 밀집되어 서로 구별하기 힘들어, 이 5종에 대한 PCA 수행하였다. 그 결과, Aphis fabae 와 Brachycaudus helichrysi 는 서로 구별될 수 있나 다른 3종에 대해서는 구별하기가 어려웠다. 위 분석결과 진딧물의 앞날개 맥으로 주요종의 감자 비래 진딧물의 분류동정이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

The world’s climate is changing. Aphids are emerging as lookouts of climate change and they are a good model to understand these environmental changes especially through migratory behavior. We monitored of the occurrence of aphid in same place (Pyeongchang) of seed potato field since 1977 in Korea. Dates of the start of spring migration of these aphids’ species were getting earlier. And, the pick of autumn migration were gradually move to winter season. Moreover, annual total numbers of collected aphids were also dramatically increased during 40 years. There is potential threats of distribution expansion of aphid species in Korea where is the hot spot of climate change with average temperature over 1.7 °C increase for 4 decades. Therefore we hypothesized that aphids’ migration pattern could be associated with temperature

Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are well known as micro-insect pests, which are very specific to their host plants, sucking phloem for acquiring nutrients, and most of them have successfully maintained parthenogenetic generations cyclically or permanently. In the world, the approximately 5,000 described aphid species belong to the family Aphididae, which has taxonomically been subdivided into 27 subfamilies. We have revised the checklist of the Korean aphids based on 54 publications which include the catalogues, checklists, faunistic researches, and taxonomic reports treating the aphids in the Korean Peninsula since 1927. As results, we confirmed that a total of 438 valid species (species names) of 143 genera in 16 subfamilies had been historically recognized in the Korean Peninsula after checking classifications and invalid names (misidentifications, synonyms, and etc.). We also will introduce the diversity of the Korean aphids.

The mitochondrial COI gene has often been utilized as a molecular marker for species identification. However, it has sometimes caused misidentification for some pairs of closely related species. For detecting complementary barcoding loci, we first screened candidate genes by calculating genetic distances within and between species based on 542 sequences collected from the Genbank by using aphids of the Eriosomatini as an example. Of eight genes analyzed, we selected the ATP6 and ATP8 genes, which exhibited lower intraspecific and higher interspecific genetic divergences than did the COI gene. Secondly, we tested the usefulness of these genes by calculating genetic distances between all the combinations of 44 individuals of 23 eriosomatine species for each of the ATP6, ATP8, and COI genes. In the ATP8 gene, the average intraspecific divergence was lowest (0.6%) and the average interspecific divergence was highest (14.7%). The ATP8 gene evolved more rapidly than did the COI gene if genetic divergence between individuals was sufficiently large, whereas it evolved more slowly than did COI if genetic divergence was less than a threshold (1% in COI distance). As a result, species with intraspecific variation in COI and ATP6 exhibited no genetic variation in ATP8. The pattern of genetic divergence in ATP8 well accorded with the pattern of species delimitation in the present taxonomic system. Thus, we conclude that the use of the ATP8 gene in DNA barcoding could improve the accuracy of species identification in the Eriosomatini and possibly other insect groups.
