Intradiol ring cleavage dioxygenases from herbivorous spider mites as a new detoxification enzyme family in animals
Abstract Background Generalist herbivores such as the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae thrive on a wide variety of plants and can rapidly adapt to novel hosts.What traits enable polyphagous herbivores to cope with the diversity of secondary metabolites in their variable plant diet is unclear.Genome sequencing of T.urticae revealed the pr
