Wheat curl mite and dry bulb mite: untangling a taxonomic conundrum through a multidisciplinary approach

Genetic characterization of North American populations of the wheat curl mite and dry bulb mite.

The wheat curl mite, Aceria tosichella Keifer, transmits at least three harmful viruses, wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), high plains virus (HPV), and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) throughout the Great Plains. This virus complex is considered to be the most serious disease of winter wheat in the western Great Plains. One component of managing this disease has be...

Genetic Mapping of Wheat Curl Mite Resistance Genes Cmc3 and Cmc4 in Common Wheat

Triticum tauschii) (Thomas and Conner, 1986; Whelan and Thomas, 1989) and the Cmc2 gene transferred to To diversify the genetic base of resistance in wheat (Triticum aesti6D from Agropyron elongatum (Host). Beauv. (Martin vum L.) to the wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, resiset al., 1976; Whelan and Hart, 1988). An unnamed gene tance to this pest was transferred from the dipolid ...

Resistance to Wheat Curl Mite in Arthropod-Resistant Rye-Wheat Translocation Lines

The wheat curl mite, Aceria toschiella (Keifer), and a complex of viruses vectored by A. toschiella substantially reduce wheat yields in every wheat-producing continent in the world. The development of A. toschiella-resistant wheat cultivars is a proven economically and ecologically viable method of controlling this pest. This study assessed A. toschiella resistance in wheat genotypes containin...
