EPG Analysis of Tomato Resistance to Whiteflies by masood nazir is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the resistance of a tomato line carrying the Mi gene to the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, using the DC Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) technique. Results indicate that the Mi gene contributes to partial resistance by affecting the probing behavior of whiteflies, specifically by increasing the number of probes needed to reach the phloem and extending non-probing time. However, once the whiteflies access the phloem, their feeding behavior does not differ significantly between
