Abstract:Arthropod herbivory possess a significant threat to crop yield, prompting plants to employ intricate defense mechanisms against pest feeding. The generalist pest,Tetranychus urticae, inflicts rapid damage and remains a challenge due to its broad target range. In this study, we exploredArabidopsis thaliana’sresponse toT. urticaeinfestation, revealing the induction of abscisic acid (ABA), a hormone typically associated with abiotic stress adaptation, including stomatal closure during water stress. Leveraging a F… Show more
