Silencing Chitinase Genes Increases Susceptibility of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) to Scopoletin

Figure 8

The phenotypes of T. cinnabarinus after being artificially fed with dsGFP or dsRNA-TcCHITs at the larval stage after 72 h. The artificial feeding of dsTcCHITs resulted in a lethal phenotype: the larva individuals failed molting or undergoing dysecdysis, whereas mites fed with dsGFP developed normally.
