To Study the Influence of Temperature on Aphid Sensitivity to Plant-Based Sensitisers

Abstract

The amount of ultraviolet B radiation an individual organism is subjected to determines the severity of UV-B's effects on that organism. When organisms that include photo sensitisers create oxidative radicals, the harmful effects of UV-B are exacerbated, and the toxicity of the radiation increases. Aphids, which belong to the family Homoptera and are known as Aphididae, can be found in abundance in temperate climates and have a cosmopolitan distribution. Aphids feed on various plant parts, including roots, stems, leaves, inflorescence, fruits, and seeds, and they attack a wide range of plants, both cultivated and wild. Small insects that feed on plants are often subjected to severe ambient temperature stress. Insect metabolism and physiology demonstrate a high degree of sensitivity to air temperature, which varies with daily and seasonal cycles. This paper study the concept of the influence of temperature on aphid sensitivity to plant-based photosensitisers
