Preference for and Suitability of Asian Elm Species and Hybrids for the Adult Elm Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae) (3.100288)
Date: May 12 1996Creator: Miller, Fredric D.
Type: Article
Description:Selected elms Ulmus spp. and their hybrids growing at The Morton Arboretum, Lisle, IL, were evaluated in laboratory bioassays for feeding preference and suitability for the adult elm leaf beetle. No-choice and multiple choice studies revealed that the hybrid U.japonica X U. wilsoniana Accolade was the least suitable for feeding and reproduction by the elm leaf beetle.

Feeding Preference of Adult Japanese Beetles (Coleoptera:Scarabaeidae) for Asian Elm Species and Their Hybrids (3.100291)
Date: April 1999Creator: Miller, Fredric D.
Type: Article
Description:The objective of the described study was to conduct an initial screening of Asian elms and their hybrids for adult Japanese beetle feeding preference in the laboratory and in the field. The findings will contribute to selection and future potential of these elms, and provide a clearer direction for an ongoing comprehensive elm breeding program for Dutch elm disease, elm leaf beetle, and elm leaf miner resistance.

Feeding Preference for Selected Tilia Spp. and Cultivars by the Adult Japanese Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) (3.100292)
Date: May 1999Creator: Miller, Fredric D.
Type: Article
Description:The reported study was initiated to evaluate horticulturally desirable Tilia spp. for feeding preference by the adult Japanese beetle. A secondary objective of the study was to determine if leaf pubescence is a factor in feeding preference. Using mean percent leaf area consumed and mean dried fecal pellet weights as measures of susceptibility, the Asian species of T. petiolaris, T. oliveri, T.chinensis, and T. japonica show promise for partial resistance to Japanese beetles.

The Elms: Breeding, Conservation, and Disease Management (3.103320)
Date: 2000Type: Book
Description:Elms occur, both naturally and cultivated, throughout much of the temperate world. Because of their high tolerance to extreme growing conditions and their widespread distribution, elms have been widely planted in cities, towns and rural areas throughout North America and northern Europe. As such, their current demise due to several pandemics of Dutch elm disease has spurred a huge body of research on breeding for disease resistance, conservation and systematics. THE ELMS: Breeding, Conservation and Disease Management provides the current state of knowledge in these areas and is an important reference work for pathologists, breeders, taxonomists, and arborists.
