Trichome Independent Resistance against Western Flower Thrips in Tomato. [PDF]
Plant Cell Physiol, 2019 Western flower thrips (WFT) are a major pest on many crops, including tomato. Thrips cause yield losses, not only through feeding damage, but also by the transmission of viruses of which the Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus is the most important one. In cultivated tomato, genetic diversity is extremely low, and all commercial lines are susceptible to WFT ...
