Aphid-trapping glandular hairs on hybrids of Solanum tuberosum and S. berthaultii - Potato Research, 17, p.152-154, 1974 .

The foliage of hybrids of S. tuberosum cv. Pentland Crown and S. berthaultii bole four-lobed, glandular hairs which, when ruptured by aphid movements, released a sticky substance which glued the aphids to the plant. The transference of this property makes it more worthwhile testing as a means of decreasing the spread of aphid-borne viruses.
