Abstract: Myzus persicae(sulzer)is the major pest in pepper production. Excavating aphid-resistant germplasm resources,clarifying the genetic law and promoting the cultivation of resistant varieties is the important strategy for aphid control. In this study, the aphid-resistant pepper cultivar “Zhudachang” and aphid-susceptible pepper cultivar “Dayangjiaojiao”were used as parent material to develop the genetic population,moreover,the inherited aphid-resistant character of hybrid progeny was analyzed. The results showed that the reciprocal-hybrid F1 was highly resistant to aphid,while the resistant and susceptible plants in F2 hybrid fit the separation ratio of 3∶1. In addition,the activities of polyphenol oxidase(PPO)and peroxidase(POD)in aphid-resistant parent,reciprocal-hybrid F1 and F2 hybrid of “Zhudachang”significantly increased when infested by aphid,while the activities in either aphid-susceptible parent or reciprocal-hybrid F2 showed no significant difference. These results indicated that the resistance of pepper to aphid was controlled by dominant single gene,which was stably inherited;besides,the increased activities of PPO and POD was highly correlated to aphid resistance.
