Project description:Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), also known as the greenhouse whitefly, is a serious pest of protected vegetable and ornamental crops in most temperate regions of the world. The juvenile hormone mimic, pyriproxyfen, is a very effective mean of controlling this pest. Microarray analysis of a selected strain and a susceptible strain revealed a number of differentially expressed genes that were candidates for a role in resistance.
