Abstract excerpt
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a kinetic microplate assay were used to detect heterozygotes resulting from a cross between B-type and non B-type strains of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Both strains were homozygous for different esterase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymes, and heterozygotes were produced in one of two crosses between B-type females (diploid) and non B-type males (haploid).
