“…The results of tests carried out by Ferree and Hall (1980) showed that low soil moisture did not affect the intensity of mite reproduction. Similar results were later reported by Gillman et al (1999) and Sadras et al (1998), according to whom water-stressed plants could not affect the density of spider mites. Visual symptoms of damage were more pronounced on well-watered plants, where females preferred to feed and lay eggs (Sadras et al, 1998).…”

SUMMARYOne of the major pests of soybeans in Bulgaria is the spider mite Tetranychus turkestani Ug et Nik (Acari: Tetranychidae) and different results have been reported about the impact of water stress on its development and reproduction. Soybean plants exposed to natural infestation by spider mites, water deficit and treatment with imidacloprid were examined under greenhouse conditions at the Institute of Forage Crops, Pleven, Bulgaria, over the period 2011-2012. The development of mites and their eggs was faster when plants were exposed to water deficit, which created favorable conditions for high density and reproduction of T. turkestani. There was a vertical distribution of protonymphs, deutonymphs and adults as their numbers and egg counts were significantly higher under conditions of water deficit on the upper and middle plant parts, compared with their bottom parts, and imidacloprid treatment had a stronger and more prolonged activity against mites, compared to its influence on well-watered plants. Spider mites on water-stressed plants caused a 24.8% reduction in the contents of plastid pigments, and carotenoids, and 21.5% decrease on well-watered plants.

“…And also contrast water deficit that may influence leaf suitability for mites include: more, and qualitatively different, epicuticular waxes that are known to influence herbivory (Eigenbrode and Espelie, 1995); secondly changes in concentration of nutrients and of secondary metabolites in plant tissues, often invoked to explain differences in herbivore responses to host plant moisture status. Sadras et al, (1998), according to whom visual symptoms of damage were more pronounced on well-watered plants, where females preferred to feed and lay eggs and waterstressed plants could not affect the density of spider mites. In comparison with unstressed host plants, the abundance of spider mites on water-stressed hosts may increase, decrease or remain unchanged (English-Loeb, 1989).…”

“…We have found that both drought and T. evansi damage triggered the decline of foliar soluble protein and total nitrogen content, suggesting that mites and drought are accelerating leaf senescence and likely inducing the transference of nutrients to younger leaves (Mody et al, 2009), as reported in cotton for the combined effects of water-stress and T. urticae infestation (Sadras et al, 1998). In contrast, the amount of several free amino acids and free sugars increased significantly in drought-stressed tomato leaves, as already reported for tomato (Bauer et al, 1997), with proline the amino acid most clearly induced by drought.…”

“…For example, T. urticae performance has been shown to increase (Hollingsworth and Berry, 1982;Nansen et al, 2010), decrease (Gould, 1978;Sadras et al, 1998) or vary (English-Loeb, 1990) depending on the plant species and the intensity of the water stress. Plants under drought stress are potentially more suitable as food because of increased nutrient availability (Brodbeck and Strong, 1987;Showler, 2013), and can therefore contribute to improve herbivore performance (Huberty and Denno, 2004;Showler, 2013).…”

de Madrid, gracias a la concesión de la beca predoctoral de la Junta de Ampliación de Estudios Toca ahora recapitular toda la gente que ha formado parte de manera directa o indirecta de esta aventura que es el doctorado. Sé que, dado que son muchos años y muchas experiencias, alguno quedará sin mencionar, igualmente gracias, no me lo tengáis en cuenta.En primer lugar, quiero dar las gracias a mis dos directores de tesis, Pedro y Felix, por darme la oportunidad de hacer la tesis con vosotros. Porque siempre habéis confiado en mí, realizando la tesis en un tema que nos era lejano a los tres y que hemos sabido llevar a buen puerto. Gracias por todo lo que he aprendido de vosotros tanto a nivel personal como de vuestra amplia experiencia en investigación. Por guiarme estos años, evitando que me dispersara y por vuestra paciencia, dado que reconozco que muchas veces soy un poco caótico.A Matilde Barón que nos asesoró en el desarrollo de un protocolo de inducción de sequía.A toda la gente del consorcio Genomite marco en el que se desarrolló esta tesis. En especial a María, Alain y Philipe del CBGP (el de Francia) por facilitarnos la población de T. evansi, sus consejos en la cría de ácaros y su acogida en Montpellier, pasamos buenos momentos recolectando ácaros. A Cristina y Vava, por sus consejos y los momentos vividos en Montpellier. A Jerry y Mike por coordinar el proyecto y por sus comentarios como evaluadores externos que han contribuido de manera significativa a mejorar la tesis.Al laboratorio de Isabel Díaz del CBGP (el de la UPM) por su ayuda en los protocolos de inhibidores de proteasas y qPCR. A Isabel, ya son unos cuantos años que nos conocemos desde las clases de agrónomos, pasando por Chile, gracias por tu dedicación y tu ayuda todos estos años. A Ana y Blanca por su ayuda y por acogerme en el laboratorio como si fuera el mío.A Estrella, la que nunca para, muchas gracias por todo lo que me has enseñado, has sido una gran maestra y una muy buena compañera, nos queda pendiente coincidir en un congreso.Gracias también por toda tu ayuda en la recta final de la tesis.Al servicio de química de proteínas, a Emilia y a Javier, siempre dispuestos a ayudar, incluso cuando algún análisis corría prisa.A la maravillosa gente del laboratorio, a la que daba gusto ver cada mañana, voy a echar de menos las conversaciones durante las comidas, los cafés del 201 … A Esteban que me pasó el testigo de la cría de ácaros. Al otro Miguel, gracias por tu apoyo en todo lo referente a sequía y que me reafirmó en lo que estaba haciendo, gracias por tus comentarios que han mejorado esta tesis. A Gema y Pedro, por echarme una mano cuando lo necesitaba y alegrar los cafés. A la gente del 201, laboratorio en el que resistí los 5 años. A Matías, fuente de sabiduría en lo personal y laboral; Nuria, siempre con optimismo y con imaginación; Carolina, rodeada de sus animalillos dispuesta siempre a echar una mano; Gabriela, la dj del labo, siempre nos quedará Juan Luis Guerra bailado junto a la poyata; María, que me cedió el testigo, siempre r...
