Article Synopsis
- Agricultural pests directly harm crops and can also indirectly damage them by spreading harmful pathogens, affecting crop yield and quality.
- Mites, especially the two-spotted spider mite, are a significant concern in agriculture due to their widespread infestation of numerous plant species and potential contributions to agricultural losses.
- The study aimed to explore the virome of these mites using RNA sequencing, uncovering 20 viral sequences, including new and related strains that could impact food security and complicate pest management strategies.
Selection to increase body weight in poultry can hamper reproduction traits and compromise production efficiency. Thus, attention to reproduction traits is essential to improving the sustainability of breeding programs. Data from a domestic quail breeding program for meat production were used to estimate genetic parameters.
