RESUMEN

The cotton whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a serious pest of several summer crops in hot and dry climates. Its field populations (Asia II-1 biotype) were assessed for their susceptibility to diverse pesticides by using leaf-dip bioassay. There was no or a very low resistance to amitraz, hexythiazox, and pyridaben during 1992-2015. B. tabaci also exhibited no resistance to endosulfan during 1992-1997 and a very low resistance during 1998-2010, which then rose to a low level during 2011-2015. Chlorfenapyr resistance was very low during 1997-2008 and it reached to a high level during 2009-2011 and to a very high level in 2013 and 2015. Among avermectins, abamectin showed a very low resistance up to 2013 but a high resistance in 2015. Emamectin benzoate also demonstrated a very low resistance up to 2010, but a moderate-to-high resistance during 2011-2015. It may be concluded that the diverse chemistries, having novel modes of action and showing no, very low or low levels of resistance, can be substituted in rotation in the wake of resistance development to conventional insecticides.

RESUMEN

Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) is one of the major diseases affecting mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek). In this study, we report the mapping of the quantitative trait locus (QTL) for mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) resistance in mungbean. An F8 recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population was generated in Thailand from a cross between NM10-12-1 (MYMIV resistance) and KPS2 (MYMIV susceptible). One hundred and twenty-two RILs and their parents were evaluated for MYMIV resistance in infested fields in India and Pakistan. A genetic linkage map was developed for the RIL population using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Composite interval mapping identified five QTLs for MYMIV resistance: three QTLs for India (qYMIV1, qYMIV2 and qYMIV3) and two QTLs for Pakistan (qYMIV4 and qYMIV5). qYMIV1, qYMIV2, qYMIV3, qYMIV4 and qYMIV5 explained 9.33%, 10.61%, 12.55%, 21.93% and 6.24% of variation in disease responses, respectively. qYMIV1 and qYMIV4 appeared to be the same locus and were common to a major QTL for MYMIV resistance in India identified previously using a different resistant mungbean.
