Response of the melon aphid, Aphis gossypii, to host-plant resistance: evidence for high adaptive potential despite low genetic variability

2009-10-01

Abstract excerpt

In agrosystems, pests are submitted to strong human-imposed selective pressures to which they sometimes adapt rapidly, either through selection of genotypes resulting from mutation and/or recombination events, or through phenotypic plasticity. Understanding how insects respond to such selective pressures is of great importance for sustainable pest management strategies, such as the use of resistant plants. In this...
