AbstractRandom amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses were performed with random primer H16 for the B biotype and two non-B populations of Bemisia tabaci collected from Zhejiang (China). The specific sequence fragments containing 446, 390 and 1317 nucleotides were amplified for the B biotype, ZHJ-1, ZHJ-2 populations, respectively. The three specific fragments were cloned and sequenced, and three pairs of SCAR primers were designed according to the sequences determined. With improvement of the conditions of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the specific fragments of B biotype, ZHJ-1 and ZHJ-2 populations, namely 439, 366 and 1238 nucleotides, respectively, were amplified with the sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) primer of the corresponding population, while specific fragments of the other populations of B. tabaci or Trialeurodes vaporariorum could not be amplified.

The sucking pests, especially whitefly, have damaged various fields and fruit crops across the globe. The study of life-history is of prime importance to monitor the dynamics for preference of a species to its host. This study tested the prevalence and preference of a whitefly species, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) B biotype (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on tomato, cotton, pepper, and okra as hosts using age-stage two-sex life table. Results revealed the highest pre-adult developmental duration, survival rate, and fecundity on tomato while the lowest values on okra. Population parameters such as the net reproductive rate (R0), intrinsic rate of increase (r), and finite rate of increase (λ) were demonstrated longer on cotton and tomato compared to much lower R0, r, and λ on pepper and okra. Okra responded significantly differently in the case of the mean generation time, T among all tested genotypes. These findings suggest the possibility of summer vegetables as more favorable hosts for B. tabaci. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers
