✦ Synopsis

Genetic analysis of the QRPH strain of two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch indicates that hexythiazox resistance in that strain is not sex linked and has a dominance factor of 0.152 (incomplete dominance). Hexythiazox resistance appears to be controlled by a single gene. ~This work contributes in part for the fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD at the University of Sydney.
