RNA-seq of Manihot esculenta leaf: mite infestation for 1d
The two-spotted spider mite (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae) is a major threat to cassava (Manihot esculenta) production. In order to decipher the global defensive response of cassava plant to mite. The transcriptome of the mite-resistant and mite susceptible cassava cultivars at different TSSM infestation time points (0, 1, and 8 d after infestation) were assessed.
