DNA methylase 1 influences temperature responses and development in the invasive pest Tuta absoluta
Dnmt1 regulates the adaptability of tomato leaf miner to temperature. TaDnmt1 RNAi impacts the larval growth and development, resulting in a significant increase (57%) in larval mortality and decrease in pupation (49.3%) and pluming (50.9%). The rapid geographic expansion of Tuta absoluta infestation is closely associated with TaDnmt1‐mediated ...
