| biotype status and distribution of bemisia tabaci (hemiptera: aleyrodidae) in shandong province of china based on mitochondrial dna markers. | bemisia tabaci has caused significant crop losses in china during the last decade. recent research has shown that two potentially invasive variants, biotypes b and q, have been found in several regions of china. our objective was to determine the biotype status and the distribution of b. tabaci in shandong province, an important agricultural region of china. based on mitochondrial dna markers, both biotypes b and q were detected, with b being the predominant biotype. the results indicate that th ... | 2007 | 18284755 |
| [wolbachia extensively harbored by bemisia tabaci in china]. | wolbachia are a group of maternally inherited bacteria harbored by a variety of arthropods and can manipulate the reproductivity of their hosts. eighteen populations of whiteflies were collected from hebei, xinjiang, beijing, shandong, zhejiang, guangxi, hainan, guangzhou and fujian provinces, china. these whiteflies were molecularly identified using internal transcribed spacer 1 its1 rdna sequences. they were then detected for wolbachia infection using wolbachia-specific primers designed based ... | 2008 | 18338578 |
| change in the biotype composition of bemisia tabaci in shandong province of china from 2005 to 2008. | certain biotypes of the bemisia tabaci (gennadius) (hemiptera: aleyrodidae) complex cause extensive damage and are important pests and virus vectors in agricultural crops throughout the world. among the most invasive and well studied are the b and q biotypes. recent reports in shandong province, china, have indicated that the q biotype was introduced there in approximately 2005, whereas the b biotype has been established there for approximately 10 yr. even so, the present distribution of the two ... | 2010 | 20550819 |
