Abstract
Several pests, such as Bemisia tabaci and Tuta absoluta, can reduce tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit production. Selection of resistant genotypes is one important pest management method. Thus, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between acylglucose levels, an allelochemical that activates resistance against tomato pests, leaf trichome types in tomato genotypes from two segregating populations, and their association with resistance to whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) and tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta). The treatments were genotypes F2BC4 and F2 ([M08 × F2BC3) S. pennellii × S. lycopersicum] with contrasting levels of acylglucoses, Solanum pennellii – LA-716 (resistance pattern) and Solanum lycopersicum lineage UEL M08 and S. lycopersicum cv. Redenção (susceptibility pattern). Evaluations of the genotypes were carried out by analyzing the densities and types of trichomes. Oviposition and nymphs of B. tabaci and damage severity of T. absoluta were evaluated. Densities of glandular trichomes are positively correlated to levels of acylglucoses. The advanced genotypes with high levels of the allelochemical reduced B. tabaci nymphs and eggs and the severity of T. absoluta damage, compared to commercial material. The desired characteristic of S. pennellii is inherited throughout backcrosses. The genotypes RVTA-2010-31319-214-238-pl#427 M and RVTA-2010-31-177-177-325-pl#42R demonstrate potential to advance the tomato breeding program to obtain pest-tolerant cultivars.
期刊介绍:
Arthropod-Plant Interactions is dedicated to publishing high quality original papers and reviews with a broad fundamental or applied focus on ecological, biological, and evolutionary aspects of the interactions between insects and other arthropods with plants. Coverage extends to all aspects of such interactions including chemical, biochemical, genetic, and molecular analysis, as well reporting on multitrophic studies, ecophysiology, and mutualism.
Arthropod-Plant Interactions encourages the submission of forum papers that challenge prevailing hypotheses. The journal encourages a diversity of opinion by presenting both invited and unsolicited review papers.
