The distinguished intracellular stylet puncture called phloem-pd (potential drop [pd]) produced by Myzus persicae has been associated with the transmission of the semipersistently transmitted, phloem-limited Beet yellows virus (BYV, Closterovirus). However, the production of intracellular punctures in phloem cells (phloem-pd) by other aphid species and their role in the transmission of persistently transmitted, phloem-limited viruses are still unknown. Previous studies revealed that inoculation of the persistently transmitted, phloem-limited Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV, Luteovirus) is associated mainly with the sieve element continuous salivation phase (E1 waveform). However, the role of brief intracellular punctures that occur before the E1 phase in the inoculation of BYDV by aphids is unknown. We aimed to investigate whether the bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae) produced a stereotypical phloem-pd and to study its role in the inoculation of BYDV. The feeding behavior of viruliferous R. padi individuals in barley (Hordeum vulgare) was monitored via the electrical penetration graph (EPG) technique. The feeding process was artificially terminated after the observation of specific EPG waveforms: standard-pds, phloem-pd, and E1. Analysis of the EPG recordings revealed the production of a phloem-pd pattern by R. padi, in addition to a short, distinct E1-like pattern (short-E1), both resulting in successful inoculation of BYDV. Also, the transmission efficiency of BYDV was directly proportional to the time spent by aphids in intracellular salivation in phloem cells. Finally, we discussed the main differences between the inoculation process of semipersistent and persistently transmitted phloem-limited viruses by aphids.
