The aim of this study is to verify levels of resistance to whitefly ( Bemisia argentifolii ) and the two-spotted spider mite ( Tetranychus urticae ) in experimental hybrids of tomato plants with high acylsugar content and that bear the Mi allele, and to compare the levels of resistance to those pest...
