T. urticae was originally native only to Eurasia, but has acquired a cosmopolitan distribution. Once mites were adapted to an HPR cultivar of cucumber, they were predisposed to utilize tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and potato (Solanum tuberosum) as hosts (Gould, 1979), which are both taxonomically and chemically unrelated to cucumbers. We thus compared on a same host the performance of replicated populations from an ancestral one reared for hundreds of generations on cucumber plants that were shifted to either tomato or cucumber plants. Newly laid eggs are round, about 0.14 mm in diameter, of translucent pale yellow colour, becoming opaque and straw-coloured with time. Dominic J. Durkin, in Introduction to Floriculture (Second Edition), 1992. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. The use of diazinon-resistant predators is suggested (Wardlow, 1986) in the event that this material is required for control of other pests. It performs differentially on diverse hostâplant species. One host of T. urticae is cucumber (Cucumis sativus). (1995) concluded that better IPM, including the use of economic thresholds and biological control, could reduce the number of applications and delay resistance. The larva becomes an eight-legged protonymph, slightly larger than the larva after a quiescent stage. Hilgardia 35: 273-322. As feeding damage progresses a stippled appearance of the foliage is evident. plants. 52, No. These environmental factors can convert plants which might be only poor hosts into very good hosts, resulting in mite population increase and crop damage. ⦠The period during which eggs are deposited can last from 10 days (34 °C) to 40 days (15 °C). T. urticae is also implicated in the transmission of several viruses that include potato virus Y, tobacco mosaic virus, and tobacco ringspot virus. Under field conditions, multiresistant strains that are resistant to all commercially available acaricides are often encountered, and strikingly these strains also resist compounds with new modes of action that have never been used in the field (Van Leeuwen et al., 2010). Tetranychus urticae probably originated in Eurasia in light of the high frequency of samples of this mite from this region and from the variety of host plants on which it has been collected. The effectiveness of natural enemies of arthropods can be directly influenced by morpho- logical characteristics of the host plant or secondary plant compounds (Vinson, 1976). It includes many crops grown in glasshouses such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers and flowers such as chrysanthemums and orchids. Yellowing and speckling are the most common early plant responses to feeding, though reddening may also occur. Although the indi⦠Before the 1940s, spider mites were infrequently considered to be serious pests, but since then they have assumed major pest status in some crops. It has been spread throughout the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere by wind and throughout the world via the transport of plants by man. After several days of heavy mite feeding, necrotic spots begin to develop on leaf tissue and leaves will turn yellow or gray and collapse. interaction between the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae, and its host plants. The gnathosoma includes only the mouthparts. The mite’s feeding causes the mesophyll cells in the area to collapse creating very small white chlorotic spots on the leaves where they have removed the chlorophyll (Fig. The eight-legged adult emerges after feeding and a final quiescent stage. They pierce individual cells with their stylets, withdrawing the cell contents. This mite has a long history of evolving resistance to acaricides. As in aphids, the genes for carotene synthesis appear to have been acquired through horizontal gene transfer from a fungus. In: Bruin J., van der Geest L.P.S., Sabelis M.W. Mite products such as webbing, eggs, cast skins, and fecal material also detract the cosmetic quality of plants. This threshold is extremely low and probably not practical for most tomato operations. This generalist rapidly acclimatizes and adapts to a new host, hereby overcoming nutritional challenges and a novel pallet of constitutive and induced plant defenses. The two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) remains the most important pest on greenhouse roses. (2019). Also the insensitivity of AChE to demeton-S-methyl, ethyl paraoxon, chlorpyrifos oxon and carbofuran was identified in a German laboratory strain of T. urticae and a field collected strain from Florida (Stumpf et al., 2001). The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is a major pest in many cropping systems worldwide that affects host plants by direct feeding and reducing the area of photosyn-thesis1, 2ï¼. One thing to consider is whether the pest will feed upon resistant cultivars or merely be repelled; resistance is thought to evolve more slowly if the pest simply avoids the resistant cultivar over the susceptible one (Cantelo and Sanford, 1984). Insensitive AChE causing OP resistance is widespread and has been detected in T. urticae strains from Germany (Matsumura and Voss, 1964; Smissaert et al., 1970), Japan (Anazawa et al., 2003) and New Zealand (Ballantyne and Harrison, 1967) and in a few other tetranychid pest species, including T. cinnabarinus from Israel (Zahavi and Tahori, 1970) and T. kanzawai from Japan (Kuwahara, 1982). T. urticae is among the most polyphagous herbivores known: It can feed on over 1,100 different plants in more than 140 different plant D.W. Onstad, Lisa Knolhoff, in Insect Resistance Management (Second Edition), 2014. Plants Resistance to HPR cucumbers promoted resistance by T. urticae to other plant or insecticidal compounds. The life cycle of the two-spotted spider mite consists of five stages of development: the egg, larva, protonymph, deutonymph and adult. Here, we performed experimental evolution with the polyphagous spider mite Tetranychus urticae to detect how mites can exploit host plants. - Host plants: this mite is extremely polyphagous attacking almost 200 different hosts: wild plants, ornamentals, vegetable plants, fruit species. of different host plants on biology of Tetranychus urticae under controlled temperature (28.5±2 °C) and relative humidity (76±5%). The egg hatches into a clear six-legged larva with noticeable crimson-coloured eye spots. PN, protonymph; DN, deuteronymph; PO, length of time before an adult female begins to oviposit (data from Sabelis, 1981). Even moderate mite infestations reduce foliage size, cause leaf drop, and restrict stem elongation. T. urticae is among the most polyphagous herbivores known: It can feed on over 1,100 different plants in more than 140 different plant families that produce a broad spectrum of chemical defenses ( 29 ). Figure 5.2. They are named because many members of this family produce silk webbing on the host plants. Flexner et al. [1], Inbreeding is detrimental for fitness in T. The type of host plants varied among mite species; for example, T. okinawanus was frequently found on indigenous plants inhabiting the seashore and invasive weeds, T. piercei and T. parakanzawai on inland indigenous plants, T. urticae (green form) on invasive weeds, and T. neocaledonicus on introduced trees. The body of a spider mite is separated into two distinct parts: (1) the gnathosoma and (2) the idiosoma. Injection of plant growth regulators or interference with growth regulators during feeding is also reported. It is particularly damaging to vine, bean, cucumber, hop, cotton, clover, sunflower, fruit trees. (1995) concluded that the field durability of the acaricides was not extended by rotations or half-rate combinations compared with consecutive uses. Identifying a mechanism for the development of pesticide resistance is important for advancing pesticide resistance management for arthropod pests. Yield loss is not only due to a reduction in tonnage of fruit, but also quality and size and therefore marketable yield (Oldfield, 1970; Metcalf and Metcalf, 1993; Meck, 2010). Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection: Vol. TSSM is an extreme generalist with an outstanding ability to rapidly develop resistance to xenobiotic compounds. The life cycle usually ranges from 10 days to 2 weeks. According to the Arthropod Pesticide Resistance Database, two-spotted spider mites have recorded an astonishing 389 cases of resistance, the highest amongst all arthropods (including both insects and mites). [6], The egg of T. urticae is translucent and pearl-like. In determining the adaptation to HPR in the presence of natural enemies, one must ascertain whether those natural enemies will increase or decrease the fitness differential (Gould et al., 1991). Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. It developed fastest at 35 deg C (6.50 d) and 30 deg C (6.93 d), whereas at 15 deg C it took 16.23 d. The higher the temperature, the faster the development of the mite. This spider mite is extremely polyphagous; it can feed on hundreds of plants, including most vegetables and food crops â such as peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, pepinos, beans, maize, and strawberries, and ornamental plants such as roses. Treating boxes of chrysanthemum cuttings with both T. urticae and the predator Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot at the rate of one per plant and one per 50 plants gave excellent control (Scopes & Biggerstaff, 1973). And to obtain new information on target-site genes, cloning and mutagenesis studies will aid in determining the precise nature of the mutations and predicting interactions between mite proteins and acaricides (Van Leeuwen et al., 2012). Mites are most easily detected along the south side of the greenhouse and at the end of beds where temperatures are high. The increasing availability of whole genome sequences and EST databases strongly stimulate mite resistance research. With respect to resistance management, Gould (1978a) highlighted the need to test multiple populations of the insect target and to look at population size, mobility, and whether there is mono- or polygenic inheritance of resistance. [1] It hatches into a larva, and two nymph stages follow: a protonymph, and then a deutonymph, which may display quiescent stages. The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch has become a model species for phytophagous mites due to the development of a great number of genetic tools and a high-quality genome sequence. It is the most widely known member of the family Tetranychidae or spider mites. populations can outbreak to high densities and cause serious damage to host plants. Although not common, TSSM feeding damage on tomato flowers causes a browning and withering of the petals. Studies of pesticide resistance in T. urticae have focused largely on target-site mutations and on classical detoxifying enzyme systems, such as P450 monooxygenases (P450s), carboxyl/cholinesterases and glutathione-S-transferases (Ghadamyari and Sendi, 2009). Its genome was fully sequenced in 2011, and was the first genome sequence from any chelicerate. Mites reared on detached rose leaves under two alternating night/ day temperature regimes, 10/20 °C and 25/35 °C, took 8.3 and 28.2 days, respectively, to complete their life cycle. Antixenosis as an HPR mechanism is likely to affect the evolution of resistance. In spider mites, past genetic and ecological studies have comprehensively suggested that the local concentration of resistance genes (increasing gene frequency in breeding patches) resulting from genetic diversity within habitats based on their biological traits and selection by acaricides, and gene flow from selection sites to surroundings (local and/or regional spread of resistance) are the processes of acaricide-resistance evolution (Osakabe et al., 2009). Thirteen newly emerged females were transferred with adult males in couples from a culture maintained at Sakha laboratory by camel brush on 13 discs of each of sweet potato, mulberry, and castor In contrast, the resistant mites destroyed HPR seedlings regardless of water stress, but did have lower survivorship on stressed plants (Gould, 1978b). Environmental effects, such as amount of water or natural enemies, must be considered in a resistance management strategy because certain regions may experience climatic conditions for which HPR expression is compromised.

The reverse effect, however, was not observed; mites resistant to several insecticides did not have higher survivorship on resistant cucumber varieties than the susceptible mites did. This mite is polyphagous and attacks the broad range of crops, including soybean, Karlik, in Encyclopedia of Rose Science, 2003. However, lines of mites that were originally adapted to cucumber and tomato gradually lost the ability to utilize these hosts after acclimation to an attractive host, such as lima bean (Gould, 1979; Fry, 1990; Agrawal, 2000). host plant responses, biotic stress and management strategies for the control of tetranychus urticae koch (acarina: tetranychidae) Tetranychus urticae Koch is a polyphagous pest and attacks broad range of crops, limiting the yield and thus, leading to huge economic losses. S.A. Tjosvold, J.F. Mites can flourish even in winter where the climate is warm or in glasshouse conditions where host plants are available. Dispersion of two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, and its selection of host plants on farmland in Ningxia. 1964. Leaf transpiration is accelerated, and affected leaves may dry and drop from the plant. The twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticaeKoch, has been controversial in its taxonomic placement. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. The mite does not actually inject the virus into the plant, instead excretes the virus onto the leaf surface and allows entry of the virus into the plant through feeding damage (Oldfield, 1970; Jeppson et al., 1975). The chemicals released seem to ⦠White speckles on tomato leaf from two-spotted spider mite feeding. Our group developed genomic resources for TSSM, established robust RNAi-reverse Table 2. Gould (1978a, 1979) found that the genetic variation in survivorship on cucumber cultivars was present within a small area, meaning that it is more likely that resistant individuals will encounter each other to mate. Flexner et al. Abstract: Tetranychus urticae is a serious pest of several crops worldwide. It is well recognized that the quality of host plants affects the development and survival of twospotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. Much research has been conducted on the spider mite Tetranychus urticae, the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis, and the host plants. Apparently, mite problems are induced by crop management practices, particularly the use of broad-spectrum insecticides (see section on “insecticides”). Factors affecting economic decisions by the producer cannot be ignored. It lays its eggs on the leaves, and it poses a threat to host plants by sucking cell contents from the leaves cell by cell, leaving tiny pale spots or scars where the green epidermalcells have been destroyed. They developed an economic injury level (EIL) based on initial number of mites released on the plant and the number of days mites fed on the plant. The idiosoma is the remainder of the body and parallels the head, thorax and abdomen of insects. This releases cellular content of the epidermal cells which the mite sucks up using its rostrum. The fact that these mites are polyphagous has many implications for devising a resistance management strategy with HPR hosts. While this EIL is a good place to start in understanding the relationship between mite numbers, feeding duration, and yield reduction, it is not practical at this time because it is impossible to know when and how many mites were initially there on a tomato plant and how long they had been feeding. John L. Capinera, in Handbook of Vegetable Pests (Second Edition), 2020. One host of T. urticae is cucumber (Cucumis sativus). Spider mites generally feed on the lower leaf surface, though twospotted spider mite affects the upper surface of some host plants. The evolutionary status of these strains was analysed by studying genetic differentiation, host plant preference, and mate choice. Twospotted spider mite can feed on 18–22 cells per minute, resulting in many dead cells, and often a speckled appearance. For evolutionary expansion of host range to occur in an herbivore population, genetic variation in ability to survive on and/or accept new hosts must be present. Phytophagous mites infest most host plants as vegetable, field crops, and ornamental plants. Flexner et al.
