 | | Technical Abstract: Extracts of glandular trichomes from Medicago sativa were tested for their ability to disrupt the settling behavior of the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae. |
 | | Erect and procumbent glandular trichomes were mechanically isolated from stem sections of the resistant genotype 'G98A', and nonglandular trichomes were collected from the susceptible cultivar 'Ranger'. |
 | | Isolated trichomes were extracted with chloroform, acetone, and ethanol, and the resulting crude extracts were applied to the surface of a sachet containing an artificial diet. |
