| Popis: | Variation in host plant performance among populations of a phytophagous insect pest is a potential threat to the durability of host plant resistance. Aggressive biotypes may overcome the protective properties of formerly resistant cultivars. Therefore, it is of interest to study such variation in breeding programs for host plant resistance to insects. In the present study, the performance of ten populations of Frankliniella occidentalis, the western flower thrips, was determined on a susceptible and a partially resistant cultivar of chrysanthemum, Dendranthema grandiflora. Damage, reproduction, and adult survival were determined using an excised leaf assay. Significant differences between the two cultivars and among the ten populations were found for all three characteristics. In general, damage, reproduction and adult survival were reduced on the resistant cultivar when compared to the susceptible cultivar. Some populations showed, in comparison to the reference population from the Netherlands, much higher damage and reproduction on one or both chrysanthemum cultivars. But also in these populations performance on the resistant cultivar was poor compared to the susceptible cultivar. |
