Abstract :Host plant diversity causes differences in the biology and adaptation of insects. In this study, variations in some biological properties and adaptive antioxidative response of Myzus persicae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sulzer,1776); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hemiptera: Aphididae); on five Charleston pepper, Capsicum annuum L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Solanaceae); cultivars were investigated under laboratory conditions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(25±1°C, 60±5% RH);. The lowest intrinsic rate of increase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r = 0.193 d-1); of M. persicae was estimated in the tested cohort fed with the Kanyon cultivar, while the highest intrinsic rate of increase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r = 0.248 d-1); was found on the Tufan cultivar. The cohort fed with Safkan cultivar exhibited the highest levels of GST-CDNB and EST-PNPA at 562.80 and 207.64 nmol/mg protein, respectively, whereas the cohort fed with Kanyon cultivar showed the lowest levels at 317.04 and 132.14 nmol/mg protein, respectively. Analysis of life table parameters and enzymatic/non-enzymatic antioxidant levels of M. persicae showed that among the cultivars we tested, the Tufan cultivar was the most preferred host by M. persicae, while Kanyon cultivar was a less suitable host.
