Adaptation of an herbivorous arthropod to green tea plants by overcoming catechin defenses

2025-12-16

Abstract excerpt

Green tea catechins are known antioxidants that benefit human health and protect tea plants from biotic stressors. However, some herbivores can counteract catechin defenses and can use tea plants as a host. Among herbivorous mites, an extreme generalist Tetranychus urticae has not been reported as a tea pest. Instead, T. kanzawai , another generalist, has some populations that thrive on tea plants. Here, we inve...
