Popis:	Peach potato aphids Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae) were reared on artificial diets containing the steroidal glycoalkaloids (GAs) α-solanine and α-chaconine in concentrations lower or similar to those observed in potato leaves. The adults proved to be susceptible to high concentrations (80–160 mg GA /100 ml of diet) showing reduced fecundity, diet uptake and increased mortality in comparison to controls. Ingestion of these artificial diets by nymphs delayed maturity and decreased the intrinsic rate of natural increase. GAs in low concentrations marginally stimulated the reproductive performance and diet acceptability of this aphid. The possibility of GAs exerting a defensive role in potato plants against aphids is discussed.
