The CRISPART project focuses on a newly developed gene editing system that allows for efficient genetic transformation of the spider mite, a significant agricultural pest. This method enhances transformation efficiency and aims to expand its application to other difficult-to-transform arthropods.
During the ERC consolidator grant POLYADAPT, an efficient gene editing system was discovered which allows to genetically transform the spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, a main crop pest.
This species belongs to the chelicerates, the second largest group of arthropods including mites, ticks and spiders, that are notoriously difficult to transform.
Our invention not only accomplished for the first time gene knock-out in mites, but also allows precise gene editing via knock-in with high efficiency.…
