The involvement of cyclotides in mutual interactions of violets and the two-spotted spider mite. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Plants employ different chemicals to protect themselves from herbivory. These defenses may be constitutive or triggered by stress. The chemicals can be toxic, act as repellents, phagosuppressants and/or phago-deterrents.

The potential for using aerated steam to eradicate strawberry mite and two-spotted spider mite on strawberry transplants. [PDF]
Exp Appl Acarol, 2022 In this study, we investigated if a steam treatment program used to produce disease-free strawberry transplants has the potential to also eliminate strawberry mite (Phytonemus pallidus) and two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae).

Environmental RNA interference in two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, reveals dsRNA processing requirements for efficient RNAi response. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Comprehensive understanding of pleiotropic roles of RNAi machinery highlighted the conserved chromosomal functions of RNA interference. The consequences of the evolutionary variation in the core RNAi pathway genes are mostly unknown, but may lead to the ...
