Abstract
The responses of inbred strains of Tetranychus urticae (Koch), developed from a population plateaued by directed selection with methyl demeton, showed the presence of hidden genetic variability. Lines with single dominant resistance factors were isolated. The presence of a modifying system, associated with a dominant resistance factor, also was demonstrated.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
