RESUMO
Mal de Río Cuarto virus produces a wheat disease, resulting from the combined action of this pathogen and its main vector, Delphacodes kuscheli. Knowing that viruses and insects cause a severe symptomatology in different genotypes, the objective of this work was to determine the possible physiological alterations in three phenological stages of wheat (cv ProINTA Federal) inoculated by two geographically distant MRCV isolates and exposed to non viruliferous insects. Treatments were run at three plant stages: first leaf emergence through coleoptile, four and five unfolded leaves. The health status of these plants was confirmed by ELISA. Physiological alterations were observed in both infected plants and plants exposed to non viruliferous insects (PS). The total soluble sugar, starch and soluble protein contents increased remarkably in the plants infected by MRCV. While chlorophyll content decreased considerably in PS and MRCV infected plants, malondialdehyde levels increased in both cases. These variations could indicate oxidative damage associated to biotic stress in these plants. The physiological alterations were similar on the different phenological stages. Only the starch increase was significantly higher in plants infected at the first leaf emergence from the coleoptile.
