Targeted mutagenesis using CRISPR-Cas9 in the chelicerate herbivore Tetranychus urticae [PDF]
The use of CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized functional genetic work in many organisms, including more and more insect species. However, successful gene editing or genetic transformation has not yet been reported for chelicerates, the second largest group ...

The effect of spermine on Tetranychus urticae-Cucumis sativus interaction. [PDF]
Abstract Background Two spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) is one of the most important plant pests in the world. Due to increased resistance of mites to acaricides, it is necessary to use other methods such as inducing resistance in plants by natural compounds for pests' management ...

Localized efficacy of environmental RNAi in Tetranychus urticae. [PDF]
AbstractEnvironmental RNAi has been developed as a tool for reverse genetics studies and is an emerging pest control strategy. The ability of environmental RNAi to efficiently down-regulate the expression of endogenous gene targets assumes efficient uptake of dsRNA and its processing.

Males of the two-spotted spider mite attempt to copulate with mated females: effects of double mating on fitness of either sex [PDF]
In Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), when the intervals between first and second copulation are more than 24 h, only the first copulation is effective for females.

Wolbachia and cytoplasmic incompatibility in the spider mites Tetranychus urticae and T. turkestani [PDF]
Wolbachia form a group of closely related intracellular Proteobacteria that manipulate reproduction of their arthropod host in various ways. They are widespread in insects, but have not been not looked for in other arthropods except a few isopods and a predatory mite. Recently, Wolbachia were demonstrated to be widespread in mites also.

The Odorant-Binding Proteins of the Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae. [PDF]
Spider mites are one of the major agricultural pests, feeding on a large variety of plants. As a contribution to understanding chemical communication in these arthropods, we have characterized a recently discovered class of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in Tetranychus urticae. As in other species of Chelicerata, the four OBPs of T.

Plant Defenses Against Tetranychus urticae: Mind the Gaps [PDF]
The molecular interactions between a pest and its host plant are the consequence of an evolutionary arms race based on the perception of the phytophagous arthropod by the plant and the different strategies adopted by the pest to overcome plant triggered defenses.

Resistência de morangueiros a Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) [PDF]
O comportamento de dezoito clones de morangueiro (dezessete cultivares e uma linhagem) foi avaliado em relação à atratividade, colonização e preferência para oviposição do ácaro rajado Tetranychus urticae Koch. Em casa de vegetação, conduziu-se experimento com plantas de dezessete clones na fase vegetativa e infestadas artificialmente com o ácaro ...

Resistance risk assessment of the novel complex II inhibitor pyflubumide in the polyphagous pest Tetranychus urticae [PDF]
Pyflubumide is a novel selective carboxanilide acaricide that inhibits mitochondrial complex II of spider mite species such as Tetranychus urticae. We explored the baseline toxicity and potential cross-resistance risk of pyflubumide in a reference panel ...
