Journal ArticleDOI

Merijn R. Kant,Wim Jonckheere,Bram Knegt,Felipe Lemos,Jie Liu,Bernardus C. J. Schimmel,Carlos A. Villarroel,Lívia Maria Silva Ataíde,Wannes Dermauw,Joris J. Glas,Martijn Egas,Arne Janssen,T. G. van Leeuwen,Robert C. Schuurink,Maurice W. Sabelis,Juan M. Alba +15 more
TL;DR: Herbivores have evolved diverse strategies to decrease the negative effects of plant defences in order to maximize the conversion of plant material into offspring, and the ability to suppress induced plant defences appears to occur across plant parasites from different kingdoms.
INVITED REVIEW Mechanisms and ecological consequences of plant defence induction and suppression in herbivore communities
Journal ArticleDOI
Salivary proteins of spider mites suppress defenses in Nicotiana benthamiana and promote mite reproduction

TL;DR: The results suggest that both generalist and specialist plant-eating mite species are sensitive to SA defenses but secrete proteins via their saliva to reduce the negative effects of these defenses.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the proteomic composition of saliva from T. urticae lines adapted to various host plants revealed for the first time the salivary protein repertoire of a phytophagous chelicerate, which will assist in unraveling the molecular interface between phytophileous mites and their host plants and may ultimately facilitate the development of mite-resistant crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted mutagenesis using CRISPR-Cas9 in the chelicerate herbivore Tetranychus urticae.
TL;DR: Two independent mutagenesis events were induced in the spider mite T. urticae using CRISPR-Cas9, hereby providing proof-of-concept that CRisPR- Cas9 can be used to create gene knockouts in mites.
