The CYP392D8 gene is not directly associated with abamectin resistance, a case study in two highly resistant Tetranychus urticae strains

Dandan Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between the cytochrome P450 gene CYP392D8 and abamectin resistance in T. urticae. The results showed that although CYP392D8 was overexpressed in abamectin-resistant populations, its enhanced expression did not increase tolerance to abamectin.

Sequestration of Plant Defense Compounds by Insects: From Mechanisms to Insect Plant Coevolution

Franziska Beran et al.

Summary: Plant defense compounds are important in insect-plant evolution, selecting for adaptations in insects. Sequestration, a complex syndrome, has evolved in all major lineages of herbivorous insects. Understanding how insects accumulate plant defense metabolites and the evolution of resistance mechanisms is essential to understanding insect-plant coevolution.

A conservative oviposition preference in spider mites for complex habitats as a preventive strategy for reducing predation risk

Wandong Yin et al.

Summary: This study found that females of spider leaf mites tend to choose oviposition sites with complex structures to increase survival, even if it comes with costs.

Spider mite resistant maize lines, B75 and B96, maintain resistance under water-stress

Gunbharpur S. S. Gill et al.

Summary: Climate variability has significant effects on agriculture, especially on the concurrent abiotic and biotic stresses to crops. Water-stress in plants increases their susceptibility to herbivores, but resistant varieties maintain their resistance even under water-stress. Maize exhibits varying resistance levels to different species of spider mites.

Producing sugar beets without neonicotinoids: An evaluation of alternatives for the management of viruses-transmitting aphids

Francois Verheggen et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of alternative control methods for aphids in sugar beets as substitutes for neonicotinoid insecticides. The study identifies 20 potential methods or products that can be used as alternatives, including synthetic and natural insecticides, fungi, natural enemies, oils, plant defense elicitors, farming practices, and resistant varieties. The study highlights the importance of integrating multiple strategies to maintain beet yields while minimizing unintended effects on the environment and biodiversity.

Co-expression of transcription factors ZmC1 and ZmR2 establishes an efficient and accurate haploid embryo identification system in maize

Chen Chen et al.

Summary: We developed an efficient and accurate haploid embryo identification marker through co-expression of two transcription factor genes and introduced it into a haploid inducer line. The new haploid inducer identified haploids earlier and with higher accuracy compared to the conventional method. Additionally, an upgraded anthocyanin marker was developed to identify haploids from diploids. This system provides technical support for large-scale doubled haploid line production.

Acaricidal Activity and Field Efficacy Analysis of the Potential Biocontrol Agent Bacillus vallismortis NBIF-001 against Spider Mites

Lei Zhu et al.

Summary: Bacillus vallismortis NBIF-001 shows significant acaricidal activity and performs well in the biocontrol of spider mites. It contains several gene clusters of metabolites that may be involved in its acaricidal activity.

Every generalist biological control agent requires a special risk assessment

Antoon J. M. Loomans

Summary: In Environmental Risk Analysis, assessment of the benefits and risks of biocontrol agents or other beneficial organisms considers criteria like establishment and dispersal potential, host specificity, and non-target effects. Host specificity is a key criterion in evaluating risks of non-native agents. Organisms with a generalist host range require specific risk assessments before introduction.

Phytophagous mites transmitting plant viruses: update and perspectives

Enrico de Lillo et al.

Summary: Plant viruses are effectively transmitted by phytophagous mites, mainly criophyids and tenuipalpids, which can induce symptoms in infested plants that may be mistaken for viral diseases or hide unidentified infections. Further clarification of virus-mite interplay and multitrophic interactions with host plants is needed, and advances in biotechnological methods could aid in identifying and characterizing viruses and their potential mite vectors. This review highlights the current state of knowledge in mites and plant-virus interactions, paving the way for new research directions.

Maize Inbred Line B96 Is the Source of Large-Effect Loci for Resistance to Generalist but Not Specialist Spider Mites

Huyen Bui et al.

Summary: This study identified certain maize lines with high resistance to Tetranychus urticae, but not to Oligonychus pratensis. It found QTL on chromosome 6 related to resistance to T. urticae, part of which originated from line B96.
