Induced resistance (IR), which enables plants to increase their resilience against insect
pests and microbial pathogens by promoting their own immunity, has been recognized for its …

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 …

The two‐spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticate is an important agricultural pest worldwide.
It is extremely polyphagous and has developed resistance to many pesticides. Here, we …

Tetranychus urticae is one of the most important pests of many species of economically
important crops, cultivated both under cover and in open ground. Feeding T. urticae reduces …

Entomopathogenic fungi have been well exploited as biocontrol agents that can kill insects
through direct contact. However, recent research has shown that they can also play an …

Lamiaceae is one of the largest botanical families, encompassing over 6000 species that

Silicon (Si) accumulation in plants is widely recognised as an effective physical defence
against chewing herbivores. However, its effects on some feeding guilds such as cell …

Herbivorous arthropods, such as spider mites, are one of the major causes of annual crop
losses. They are usually hard to spot before a severe infestation takes place. When feeding …
