Abstract excerpt
Polymorphic esterase and acetylcholinesterase alleles in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci were studied using electrophoretic and colorimetric assays. The segregation of these alleles between parental and F1 generations provided unequivocal evidence of haplodiploidy in this pest species. Unmated females, heterozygous at a polymorphic locus, produced a 1:1 ratio of haploid males expressing either of the maternal...
