“…Botanical acaricides, which have low toxicity to mammals and can be easily degraded, are potential candidates for integrated mite management. Thus far, a few natural products or plant extracts, such as essential oils, terpenoids, alkaloids, and flavonoids, have very promising acaricidal activities against different agricultural mites [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Tetranychus cinnabarinus is an important agricultural pest with a broad host range. We previously identified curcumin as a promising acaricidal compound against T. cinnabarinus. However, the acaricidal mechanism of curcumin remains unknown. In this study, RNA-seq was employed to analyze the transcriptome changes in T. cinnabarinus treated with curcumin or the solvent. A total of 105,706,297 clean sequence reads were generated by sequencing, with more than 90% of the reads successfully mapped to the reference sequence. The RNA-seq identified 111 and 96 differentially expressed genes between curcumin- and solvent-treated mites at 24 and 48 h after treatment, respectively. GO enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that the cellular process was the dominant group at both time points. Finally, we screened 23 differentially expressed genes that were functionally identical or similar to the targets of common insecticide/acaricides or genes that were associated with mite detoxification and metabolism. Calmodulin, phospholipase A2, and phospholipase C were activated upon curcumin treatment suggesting that the calcium channel related genes might play important roles in mite's response to curcumin. Overall our results revealed the global transcriptional changes in T. cinnabarinus after curcumin treatment to enable further identification of the targets of curcumin in mites.

“…Similarly, Wang et al (2007b) noticed that leaf crude extract from Juglans regia L., a cosmopolitan tree species whose walnuts and leaves are used for medicinal purposes, also displayed acaricidal activity to T. cinnabarinus and the LC 50 value was 61.80 g/l, which is approximately 25 times higher than S. nigrum crude extract. In addition, according to Chen and Dai (2015a), Cinnamomum camphora crude extracts showed a similar acaricidal efficacy as S. nigrum crude extract in the same bioassays. Moreover, similar results were observed by Pavela (2016), who published the efficacy of aqueous extracts obtained from 28 plant species, and extracts obtained from Saponaria officinalis roots and Ammi visnaga seeds were found to provide the significantly highest efficacies with LC 50 of 10.3 and 12.5 g/l, respectively, which are still much higher than S. nigrum crude extract, even though they were tested against Tetranychus urticae Koch, whereas the methanol extract of A. visnaga seeds showed a more remarkable persistence than the extract we tested in this study, for which LC 90 was estimated as lower than 5.0 g/l against adult T. urticae after 10 days of treatment (Pavela 2015).…”

The carmine spider mite Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) is a serious pest affecting various glasshouse vegetables, fruits and crops and causes significant damage to crop yields and quality by piercing and sucking foliar tissues. The control of this mite primarily involves the application of synthetic chemical pesticides. In this study, a Solanum nigrum L. extract was evaluated for its potential acaricidal activity against adult female T. cinnabarinus in laboratory conditions, and the S. nigrum extract showed marked efficacy in controlling the carmine spider mite both in vitro and in potted seedlings. Furthermore, the active compound, a phytostanol ester (β‐sitosterol‐3‐O‐heptadeca‐8Z, 11Z‐dienoate), was isolated from the petroleum ether‐soluble fraction of S. nigrum extract via repeated column chromatography and identified based on its physiochemical properties and spectral data. At 7 days after treatment in a potted seedling experiment, the LC50 values of the S. nigrum extract and active compound were found to be 4.70 and 1.85 g/l, respectively. All of these results demonstrated that the S. nigrum extract and its active component exhibit the potential for use as new natural acaricides for controlling carmine spider mites.

“…Acaricidal activities against T. cinnabarinus were tested in a leaf‐dip bioassay with leaves hosting living adult mites according to the methods described by Sertkaya (Sertkaya, Kaya, & Soylu, ) and Chen (Chen & Dai, ). Adult T. cinnabarinus females were removed from the broad bean leaves infected with the mites to fresh leaves; there were more than 45 adult female mites on every fresh leaf after removing dead mites under a dissecting microscope.…”

“…Recently, extracts of various plants have been shown to possess acaricidal activities against T. cinnabarinus , such as those of Mentha piperita (Ren et al, ), Curcuma longa L. (Liu et al, ), Inula britanica (Ma et al, ), Chenopodium quinoa Willd (Harder, Tello, & Giliomee, ), Solanum nigrum Linn (Chen & Dai, ), Aloe vera L. (Zhang, Zhang, Luo, & Ding, ), Lactuca sativa (Li et al, ) and Polygonum aviculare (Cheng, Wang, Ma, Liu, & Shi, ) . These acaricidal plants influence the growth and development of T. cinnabarinus through repellence, antifeeding effects or oviposition deterrence (Chen & Dai, ).…”

Six plant crude extracts were chosen to evaluate their acaricidal activity against Tetranychus cinnabarinus adults. The crude extract from the stems and leaves of Arachis hypogaea L. presented the highest activity in leaf‐dip bioassays, with an LC50 value of 3,545.98 mg/L. Further extraction using four different solvents (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n‐butyl alcohol and distilled water) demonstrated that the active components mainly existed in the petroleum ether phase. Then, the active compound, palmitic acid, was isolated from the petroleum ether phase via two‐step column chromatography using columns filled with silica gel and C‐18 and identified via mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. The LC50 value of active palmitic acid against T. cinnabarinus was 534.58 mg/L. The present study demonstrated that the active compound extracted from A. hypogaea is a potential novel botanical acaricide for controlling T. cinnabarinus.
