Abstract
In the gene pool of wild tomato populations, natural defenses represent an alternative to generate resistant or tolerant varieties to insects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of Bemisia tabaci and its relationship with antioxidant compounds in tomato germplasm. Two wild species (Solanum habrochaites and S. pimpinellifolium) were examined; eight Mexican natives and the Rio Grande variety (control). In a non-choice trial, the number of nymphs (Ni) and eggs (Hu) was recorded. The content of phenolic compounds (Cf) and the antioxidant activity DPPH (Aaox) were analyzed by spectrophotometry in plants with incidence (CI) and without incidence (SI) of B. tabaci. There were differences between genotypes in Ni + Hu (p < 0.004) and Cf (p < 0.0001). Differences from SI to CI in Cf (p < 0.0001) and in Aaox (p <0.0001) indicate variations in the modulation of antioxidant compounds between genotypes. The correlations of Ni + Hu with Aaox (-0.44**), Cf with Aaox (0.31**) and Ni + Hu with Cf (-0.23), indicate the participation of antioxidant molecules to different degrees. S. habrochaites with the lowest insect incidence and the native Mexican 21207 with the highest Cf content demonstrate potential in plant breeding programs.
