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 …

Dengue is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. As an arbovirus disease, it is mainly
transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. According to the previous studies …

The role, magnitude, and molecular nature of trans-driven expression variation underlying
the upregulation of detoxification genes in pesticide resistant arthropod populations has …

The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae is an extremely polyphagous crop pest.
Alongside an unparalleled detoxification potential for plant secondary metabolites, it has …

Tetranychus urticae (T. urticae) Koch is a cosmopolitan, polyphagous mite which causes
economic losses in both agricultural and ornamental plants. Some traits of T. urticae hamper …

Conifer-feeding bark beetles are important herbivores and decomposers in forest
ecosystems. These species complete their life cycle in nutritionally poor substrates and …

Plant-herbivore interactions evolved over long periods of time, resulting in an elaborate
arms race between interacting species. While specialist herbivores evolved specific …

This review deals with phytocystatins, focussing on their potential role as defence proteins
against phytophagous arthropods. Information about the evolutionary, molecular and …

The two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is one
of the most polyphagous herbivores, feeding on more than 1,100 plant species. Its wide host …

Tetranychus urticae (two-spotted spider mite) is a striking example of polyphagy among
herbivores with an extreme record of pesticide resistance and one of the most significant …
