Abstract A periclinal chimera was produced with an epidermis of Solatium pennellii Correll and a core of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). The tomato strain was susceptible, and S. pennellii highly resistant, to both greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), and potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas). The chimera was highly resistant to whitefly and susceptible to potato aphid.
