The invention discloses a biological
assay method for evaluating the influence of
gene editing wheat on aphids, and belongs to the technical field of safety evaluation of
gene editing crops. The
bioassay method comprises the following steps: selecting a single wheat
seedling after wheat seedlings emerge, wrapping the stem base of the single wheat
seedling with wet
absorbent cotton, fixing the stem base in a tube, then inoculating single-head wing-free adult aphids on the wheat
seedling, removing the adult aphids and redundant young aphids after the adult aphids produce young aphids for the first time, and only retaining one young
aphid. And from the beginning of the first-stage
aphid production, observing once under a stereoscopic
microscope every day, recording the growth and development conditions of the aphids, and removing
aphid slough and dead individuals in time. And evaluating the influence of the
gene editing wheat on the aphids by taking the
survival rate of the aphids on the tenth day, the early aphid production stage, the life and the aphid production quantity as evaluation indexes. The method is wide in applicability and can be effectively used for evaluating the influence of various kinds of gene editing wheat on various aphids such as schizaphis graminum,
sitobion avenae and rhopalosiphum padi.
