The larva of the bean pod weevil (BPW), Apion godmani Wagner (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), causes serious yield losses in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Mexico and Central America, by consuming the seed as it develops in the immature pod. Resistance to the BPW was identified in bean germpl...

A reproducible Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation method that delivers fertile and morphologically normal transgenic plants was developed for cultivated tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius L. Gray). Factors contributing to higher transformation efficiencies include (1) a low...

Arcelin, a seed protein discovered in wild Phaseolus vulgaris L. accessions, gives high levels of resistance to the Mexican bean weevil [MBW; Zabrotes subfasciatus (Boheman)]. Six variants of arcelin have been described. In this paper we report on a new variant, arcelin 7, found in six wild bean ...

In 1993, seed from the EMP series reportedly resistant to leafhoppers (Empoasca Kraemeri Ross & Moore), was obtained from Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), South America and planted at Ridgetown, ON. Under severe potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Hams), pressure the selections...

Host plant resistance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a promising component in an integrated cropping system for managing thrips (Thrips palmi Karny) infestation. This study was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to thrips in common bean, using F5:7 reco...

Spittlebugs (Homoptera: Cercopidae) are important pests of forage grasses in the genus Brachiaria (Trin.) Griseb. throughout the neotropics. Results of recurrent selection on resistance to spittlebugs in a synthetic brachiariagrass population are reported. The population was synthesized by recomb...

La situación de moscas blancas como plagas de cultivos semestrales en el Valle del Cauca se diagnosticó entre septiembre de 1997 y agosto de 1998. Se tomaron 78 muestras biológicas en 15 municipios, las cuales se identificaron por morfología del cuarto ínstar ninfal, electroforesis de ?-? esteras...

Desde la introducción de Thrips palmi Karny a Colombia, éste se convirtió en una de las principales plagas de la habichuela en el Valle del Cauca y es hoy objeto de excesivo uso de insecticidas para su control. Una de las formas de racionalizar el uso de insecticidas es hacer las aplicaciones en ...
