TL;DR
Phlorizin was a probing deterrent to the non-apple feeding aphids, Myzus persicae and Amphorophora agathonica, and an ingestion deterrent to all three species although the threshold was lower for A. pomi.
Abstract
Phlorizin, a phenolic compound present only in the apple genus, Malus, was found to be neutral as a probing stimulus to Aphis pomi, an apple feeder, but was a probing deterrent to the non-apple feeding aphids, Myzus persicae and Amphorophora agathonica. Phlorizin was an ingestion deterrent to all three species although the threshold was lower for A. pomi. Apple can be utilized as a host by A. pomi since it feeds in the phloem which appears not to contain phlorizin.

The feeding response of six aphid species to sinigrin, a mustard oil glucoside, was investigated and Hyadaphis = (Lipaphis) erysimi and Brevicoryne brassicae, whose host ranges are restricted primarily to the Cruciferae, were stimulated to feed on Sinigrin treated non‐host leaves.

The host plants of the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae, are restricted to the Cruciferae and Resedaceae and mustard oil glucosides are characteristically present and known to stimulate feeding by certain lepidopterous larvæ.

When adult apterous Myzus persicae (Sulzer) were allowed to probe and insert their stylets through a membrane of stretched Parafilm “M(R)” into various test fluids, marked differences were noted in the duration of their initial probes.

An investigation of a natural population of Acyrthosiphon spartii on broom over 3 years, adults were observed to change their feeding sites as the seed pods enlarged and this coincided with the movement of the alkaloid sparteine between various plant organs.

It is shown that there is a basic pattern of phenolic constituents common to most of these plants and that calleryanin, its phenolic acid esters and the 4-glucoside of protocatechuic acid were found to be restricted to P. calleryana.

Chemical, radiometric, and histological evidence is offered which suggests that the aphid is able to subsist on tobacco because it feeds in the phloem and avoids the nicotine-containing xylem.

It is shown that phloridzin is absent from the leaf of all genera of the sub-family Pomoideae of the Rosaceae other than Malus; and its supposed occurrence in plum5 and cherry has not been confirmed by the examination of many species and varieties of Prunus.

The extent of feeding response of Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) to various chemically-defined liquids has been investigated and it was found that aphids settling on the two membranes on the floor of a single-alternative choice chamber were taken as an index of the relative acceptability of the two solutions.
