miR825‐5p‐regulated TNLs govern Arabidopsis resistance to Tetranychus urticae and Pieris brassicae

MicroRNAs are essential regulators in plant resistance to biotic stresses, but their specific roles in the plant–herbivore context require deeper investigation. Here, we studied how the Arabidopsis ...
