SUMMARY
The resistance to pirimicarb of populations of Aphis gossypii Glover from several glasshouses in England was studied in the laboratory by topical applications of insecticide and by electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing of aphid esterases. When compared with a known susceptible population, the aphids were found to be resistant to pirimicarb. Esterase patterns produced from resistant populations by poly‐acrylamide gel and starch gel electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing consistently differed in both numbers of bands and migration rates from the susceptible type. Resistant A. gossypii were found infesting only chrysanthemums and would not transfer to cucumber, the host of the susceptible population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
