Abstract
‘HoneySweet’ is a genetically engineered plum resistant to Plum pox virus. Potential risks such as its impact on the diversity and dynamics of indigenous aphid populations was assessed. The study compared winged population of aphids visiting transgenic and conventional plums under continental temperate climatic conditions of Romania. The experimental analysis was conducted during three years (2016-2018) within an experimental plot containing transgenic (‘HoneySweet’) and conventional (‘Reine Claude d’Althan’ and ‘Stanley’) plums. This study revealed a similarity of both flight curves and the number and species of aphids landing on the two types of plum. Overall results showed no statistically differences between aphid species visiting the three cultivars, respectively the two types of plum. Consequently, our results support the hypothesis of the neutral effect of the transgenic plum on indigenous populations of aphids.
期刊介绍：
FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH is an international journal, which has been issued under the care of the Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitesti, Romania. Fruit growing research is an annual journal aimed at disseminating significant research and original papers on genetic resources, breeding of deciduous fruit trees species; fruit sustainable technologies – environment protection; propagation, virology and tissue culture, postharvest, that can be of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of fruit growing. An international Editorial Board advises the journal.
