摘 要:The striped cucumber beetle(Acalymma vittatum(F.))is a destructive pest of cucurbit crops,and management could be improved by host plant resistance,especially in organic farming ***,despite the variation in striped cucumber beetle preference observed within the economically important species,Cucurbita pepo L.,plant breeders and entomologists lacked a simple framework to classify and exploit these *** study used recent phylogenetic evidence and bioassays to organize striped cucumber beetle preference within *** results indicate preference contrasts between the two agriculturally relevant subspecies:*** *** and *** *** of *** *** were more strongly preferred than *** *** *** structure of beetle preference in *** will allow plant breeders and entomologists to better focus research efforts on host plant non-preference to control striped cucumber beetles.
