Biology of the Soybean Aphid, Aphis glycines (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the United States
TLDR
Though at present management is primarily through broad-spectrum insecticides, biological control has a significant impact on soybean aphid population growth, and aphid-resistant soybean varieties are becoming increasingly available.Abstract:
The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a significant insect pest of soybean in the north-central region of the United States and southern Canada, and if left untreated can reduce yield value by $2.4 billion annually. The soybean aphid is native to eastern Asia, where soybean was first domesticated, and was first detected in the United States in 2000. It quickly spread within 4 years of its discovery across 22 states and three provinces of Canada. Heavy infestations can result in a covering of sooty mold, yellow and wrinkled leaves, stunted plants, and aborted pods leading to significant yield loss of 40% or more. It can also transmit plant viruses such as Soybean mosaic virus and Alfalfa mosaic virus. The soybean aphid has a complex life cycle that involves different physical forms, sexual stages, and two host plant species-soybean and buckthorn (the overwintering host). Plant nutrition, natural enemies, climate, and weather all affect population growth rate, but the typical population doubling time is ≈6-7 days. Though at present management is primarily through broad-spectrum insecticides, biological control has a significant impact on soybean aphid population growth, and aphid-resistant soybean varieties are becoming increasingly available.read more

Management Recommendations for Soybean Aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the United States
TL;DR: A summary of integrated pest management tactics for soybean aphid are discussed, including cultural, genetic, economic, and chemical controls, which will reduce overall production costs and minimize negative environmental effects such as human exposure, and mortality of beneficial insects and other animals.

Resistance and virulence in the soybean- Aphis glycines interaction
TL;DR: The soybean aphid-soybean pest-host system has become an important model system for advanced research into the interaction of an aphid with its plant host, and also the tritrophic interaction that includes aphid endosymbionts.

TL;DR: The whole genome sequence of a fourth aphid is presented, the soybean aphid (Aphis glycines), which is an extreme specialist and an important invasive pest of soybean (Glycine max) and contains the smallest known aphid genome to date, based on updated genome sizes for 19 aphid species.

RNA-Seq reveals a xenobiotic stress response in the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, when fed aphid-resistant soybean
TL;DR: A. glycines exhibited a pattern typical of xenobiotic challenge, thereby validating antibiosis in Rag1, presumably mediated through toxic secondary metabolites, and many A. glycine genes and gene families at the forefront of its molecular interaction with soybean were identified.

Is invasion success explained by the enemy release hypothesis
TL;DR: Given the complexity of processes that underlie biological invasions, it is argued against a simple relationship between enemy ‘release’ and the vigour, abundance or impact of NIS.
