Spider mite control and resistance management: does a genome help?
Pest Management Science 69 (2), 156-159
Abstract: The complete genome of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, has been reported. This is the first sequenced genome of a highly polyphagous and resistant agricultural pest. The question as to what the genome offers the community working on spider mite control is addressed.
