Abstract
Solunum Pennellii Correll and segregates of 5 accessions of Lycopersicon peruvianum (L.) Mul. were resistant to Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) in the greenhouse at Beltsville, Maryland. The entanglement of the aphids in the heavy vesture of glandular hairs prevented colonization of S. pennellii , but physiological incompatibility appeared to be the reason that aphids failed to colonize the segregates of L. peruvianum , which have a sparse vesture of glandular hairs.Keywords
