Insect-plant interactions involving the cultivated tomato and its relatives in the genus
Lycopersicon have been intensively studied for several decades, resulting in one of the best …

The tomato gene Mi-1.2 confers resistance against root-knot nematodes and some isolates
of potato aphid. Resistance to the whitefly Bemisia tabaci previously has been observed in …

Plants may also be resistant to arthropods via the tolerance category of resistance, as
defined in Chapter 1, by possessing the ability to withstand or recover from damage caused …

An undergraduate and postgraduate textbook covering the key principles, methodologies,
approaches and practical examples of insect pest management in agricultural, post harvest …

Trichomes contribute to plant resistance against herbivory by physical and chemical
deterrents. To better understand their role in plant defense, we systemically studied trichome …

Simple Summary The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, was initially discovered in the
United States in 1894 but was not considered an economic insect pest on various …

Abstract 1 The cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, is an economically important
worldwide crop. Current pest management techniques rely heavily on pesticides but …

A model of whitefly integrated pest management (IPM) has been proposed that conveniently
organizes all Bemisia tabaci control tactics into a multi-level, multi-component pyramid and …

In tomato production, both open field and greenhouse, management of whiteflies and the
viruses they transmit ranks among the highest priorities of growers. Largely driven by the …

Integration of the tools of genetics, genomics, and biochemistry has provided new
approaches for identifying genes responding to herbivory. As a result, a picture of the …
