Retention of TYLCV in H+ and H− Q whiteflies (B. tabaci) as indicated by conventional PCR.
After a 24-AAP on TYLCV-infected tomato, whiteflies were placed on cotton for 5 to 35 days. For each whitefly type and duration of feeding on cotton, 20 adults were assessed. The percentage of whiteflies with TYLCV did not differ between H+ and H− Q for any feeding time on cotton (P > 0.05).
