Transcriptome analysis of hormone-and cuticle-related genes in the development process of deutonymph in Tetranychus ur-ticae

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is an important agricultural pest. Genes expres-sion dynamic during different development time points of deutonymphal development process in T. urticae were investigated. The transcriptome sequencing aims to identify hormone- and cu-ticle-related genes that regulated the development process of spider mite. Moreover, this com-prehensive transcriptome will provide a foundation for further research of development process in T. urticae.
