    Notes: Abstract Macrosiphum euphorbiae, also known as the potato aphid, is a potato virus vector, associated with decreased tuber production. Feeding, toxicity, and reproductive effects of the major potato glycoalkaloids (α-chaconine and α-solanine), their common aglycone (solanidine), and a nonpotato glycoalkaloid (α-tomatine) and its aglycone (tomatidine) onM. euphorbiae were studied. As expected, neither α-chaconine nor α-solanine had a strong lethal effect on the aphid, but α-chaconine stimulated feeding at low concentrations. Both aglycones were deterrent and lethal at high concentrations and, like α-chaconine and α-tomatine, they delayed the appearance and decreased the number of nymphs.

    Notes: Abstract Common Solanum glycosides were tested against a non-Solanum pest, the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum, fed by artificial diet supplemented with the tested compounds. In contrast with the potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae, S. graminum is sensitive to both potato and tomato glycoalkaloids, as well as to all the different Solanum steroidal glycosides tested. S. graminum was less sensitive to glycoalkaloids than to the steroidal glycosides. Laxumin A (LC50 4.3 μM) and laxumin B (LC50 6.1 μM), isolated from Solanum laxum, were the most active of the tested compounds. The different sensitivity of both aphids against Solanum glycosides could be related to a possible adaptation of the insects to their host plants secondary metabolites.
