In this study, species complex of Turkish
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)
(Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) populations was determined by PCR-based
DNA analysis. According to phylogenetic analyses, the
B. tabaci samples
have been identified within three generic groups. A major part of the samples
belonged to two invasive species, either Middle East
–Asia Minor 1
(MEAM1) or Mediterranean (MED). In addition to these two invasive
species, several samples collected from greenhouses and cotton fields have
been found to be related to Middle East
–Asia Minor 2 (MEAM2), which is
the first record of Turkish
B. tabaci species complex.
