| variable infection frequency and high diversity of multiple strains of wolbachia pipientis in perkinsiella planthoppers. | this survey of wolbachia infections in populations of the planthoppers perkinsiella saccharicida and perkinsiella vitiensis revealed variable frequencies, low-titer infections, and high phylogenetic diversities of strains. these observations add to the growing realization that wolbachia infections may be extremely common within invertebrates and yet occur infrequently within populations and at low titer within individuals. | 2011 | 21278277 |
| quantitative genetics of sugarcane : iv. genetics of fiji disease resistance. | 1. fiji disease is an important virus disease of sugarcane in many countri es. in fiji, its vector is the leafhopper perkinsiella vitiensis. 2. the usual measure of resistance under insectary test conditions is the number of days required after exposure to viruliferous hoppers for half the test plants of a clone to show the diagnostic symptoms (sd50). previous studies have shown this measure is related to resistance under field conditions and is convenient to record. 3. a quantitative genetic an ... | 1972 | 24431021 |
