Selective leaf surface defenses: trichomes trap herbivorous leafminers but spare parasitoid wasps. [PDF]
Hooked trichomes on kidney bean leaves selectively entrap leafminer flies but rarely affect parasitoid wasps. This morphological barrier enables pest suppression with minimal impact on beneficial insects, offering insights for breeding pest‐resistant cultivars compatible with biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND Leafminers [e.g., Liriomyza trifolii (

Trichomes and hydrocarbons associated with the tomato plant antixenosis to the leafminer [PDF]
The objective of this work was to study the density of trichomes and hydrocarbons associated with the resistance by antixenosis of 42 subsamples of tomato plants from the Horticultural Germplasm Bank of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (HGB-UFV) to Liriomyza trifolii. These subsamples were studied in addition to 'Santa Clara' cultivar, which was used

Selection of tomato lines and populations for fruit shape and resistance to tomato leafminer [PDF]
ABSTRACT The market requirement regarding fruit type varies from region to region and it is necessary to produce cultivars with different patterns of fruit morphology. Therefore, the aim of this study was to select lines with resistance to tomato leafminer and different fruit shapes in order to meet the different market segments.

Leafminer attack accelerates the development of soil‐dwelling conspecific pupae via plant‐mediated changes in belowground volatiles [PDF]
Herbivore population dynamics are strongly influenced by the interactions established through their shared host. Such plant-mediated interactions can occur between different herbivore species and different life developmental stages of the same herbivore.
