Abstract excerpt
A critical aspect dealing with the use of transgenic plants is the global evaluation of their environmental impact. The polyphagous mite Tetranychus urticae can be considered a suitable species to investigate unpredictable and undesirable effects on phytophagous arthropods. Three tomato near isogenic lines, that is, the cv. Riogrande (RIG), the transgenic lines RC332 (containing the Gox gene and showing high...
