A new source of cabbage host plant resistance to the diamondback moth (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)
Florida Entomologist 94 (3), 711-713
Abstract: Laboratory, greenhouse and outdoors studies indicated that a cabbage provided by Syngenta Seeds (Basel, CH), identified as 'White' which was developed as a cytoplasmic male sterile hybrid whose female parent was 'Izalco' and whose male parent was derived from a triple-cross, was highly resistant to P. xylostella. This resistance does not appear to be related to any glossy leaf characteristic nor genetic engineering with B. thuringiensis, and thus may represent a novel source of resistance to P. xylostella. This cabbage should be evaluated further for resistance to other pests.
