Botanica}, howpublished={online}, year={2013}, publisher={Biological Commission of the Polish Academy of Sciences – Cracow Branch}, abstract={We measured the total chlorophyll (Chl a+b) content in seedling leaves of fifteen maize cultivars infested by two studied aphid species (oligophagous Rhopalosiphum padi L., monophagous Sitobion avenae F.) 7 and 14 days after the beginning of infestation, using a SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter. Chlorophyll loss was more severe in R. padi-infested than in S. avenae-infested plants. Chlorophyll depletion was greater after long-term (14 days) than after short-term aphid infestation in the investigated host systems. Seedlings of Złota Karłowa and Tasty Sweet were more damaged by aphid feeding; Ambrozja and Płomyk plants were less damaged by aphid feeding.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT OF APHID-INFESTED SEEDLING LEAVES OF FIFTEEN MAIZE GENOTYPES}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/81799/PDF/06_sytykiewicz.pdf}, doi={10.2478/abcsb-2013-0023}, keywords={Total chlorophyll (Chl a+b) content, SPAD units, maize, Rhopalosiphum padi, Sitobion avenae}, }
