biostudies-literatureUnknown15Cai Y<h4>Introduction</h4>Red spider mite (<i>Tetranychus urticae</i>) infestation (SMI) is a detrimental factor for roses grown indoors. Although predatory mite (<i>Neoseiulus californicus</i>) antagonism (PMA) is often utilized to alleviate SMI damage, little is known about the defensive response of greenhouse-grown roses to SMI and the molecular mechanism by which PMA protects roses.<h4>Methods</h4>To determine the transcriptome and metabolome responses of roses to SMI and PMA, the leaves of a rose cultivar ("Fairy Zixia/Nightingale") were infested with <i>T. urticae</i>, followed by the introduction of predator mite. Leaf samples were collected at various time points and subjected to transcriptome and metabolome analyses.<h4>Results</h4>We found that 24 h of SMI exerted the most changes in Frontiers in plant science1436429https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11368075biostudies-literatureTemporal transcriptome and metabolome study revealed molecular mechanisms underlying rose responses to red spider mite infestation and predatory mite antagonism.PMC11368075Yang YTian MCui YZhao PCai YShi ZWang JfalseTemporal transcriptome and metabolome study revealed molecular mechanisms underlying rose responses to red spider mite infestation and predatory mite antagonism.<h4>Introduction</h4>Red spider mite (<i>Tetranychus urticae</i>) infestation (SMI) is a detrimental factor for roses grown indoors.
