A second independent locus conditioned the found in TI 1024 and a third independent locus conditioned the resistance observed in NC 745. Tobacco Introduction 1462 possessed alleles for resistance at both the second and third loci. Small aphid cages were of questionable value for studying the resistance reaction. Higher leaf temperatures were noted for the caged leaf surfaces and may be responsible for the unreliable results. Evaluation of F2, F3, F5, F5 populations developed from resistant x susceptible crosses indicated that aphid resistance is a heritable trait and is not closely linked to adverse agronomic quality characteristics.","abstract_html":"Field experiments with the green peach aphid on tobacco were conducted at Blackstone, Virginia in 1983 and 1984.
