Abstract excerpt
The effect of previous infestation (preconditioning) by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) biotype B on the population fitness of subsequent infestations that fed on three isogenic tomato genotypes (wild-type [Wt], a jasmonic acid [JA] defense-enhanced genotype [35S], and a JA-deficient genotype [spr2]) was examined. We tested the hypotheses that whiteflies fed on preconditioned tomatoes (Solanum...
