The tomato/potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Hemiptera Triozidae) is an introduced pest of solanaceous crops in New Zealand A range of established plants play host to Bactericera cockerelli including three traditional Maori food sources taewa or Maori potatoes (Solanum tuberosum ssp andigena) kumara (Ipomoea batatas) and poroporo (Solanum aviculare) Taewa and kumara are highly susceptible to summer B cockerelli infestation whilst poroporo an evergreen plant remains susceptible yearround and provides overwintering refuge Extensive monitoring of each host plant was carried out to determine the significance of each host in the lifecycle of B cockerelli in New Zealand Poroporo was monitored from late autumn for 6 months to determine if the plant served as a significant overwintering host for the pest after harvesting summer crops Taewa and kumara plants were monitored throughout the summer growing season on a weekly basis increasing to twice a week as populations proliferated Host plants were monitored both in the natural environment and under laboratory conditions Data collected contributed to tracking population development of B cockerelli on each host including the length of each life stage (ie egg nymph adult) Comparisons between the three hosts revealed host preference host suitability and the significance of each host in the lifecycle progression of B cockerelli

Chromoplasts of ripe fruit of Solanum aviculare contain a large number of electron-translucent structures, which distinguishes them from the chromoplasts of many other species. During the chloroplast-chromoplast transformation, starch and grana disappear and plastoglobules accumulate. As ripening progresses, the plastoglobules fill with increasing amounts of electron-translucent structures which then protrude from the plastoglobules and eventually form a single small slab-shaped structure, and the plastoglobule disappears. β-Carotene (86.4%) is the main carotenoid of the ripe fruit, and small amounts of lutein, zeaxanthin, phytofluene, mutatochrome and neoxanthin are present. On the basis of carotenoid composition and appearance under the electron microscope, it is concluded that the translucent structures consist of a crystalline form of β-carotene.
