Effects of distance, reproductive mode, and host plant associations on the genetic structure of Thrips tabaci in New York onion agro-ecosystems: implications for thrips and tospovirus management

Wednesday, November 19, 2014: 2:30 PM
E141-142 (Oregon Convention Center)
Alana L. Jacobson , Department of Entomology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC
Brian A. Nault , Department of Entomology, Cornell University, Geneva, NY
Data and discussion will be presented on the structure of Thrips tabaci population genetics in onion, dispersal of populations among hosts, molecular tools for genetics research, and interaction of onion thrips with multiple hosts in the onion landscape.
