This review is a comprehensive study of recent advances related to cytological, biochemical and physiological changes induced in plants in response to eriophyoid mite attack. It has been shown that responses of host plants to eriophyoids are variable. Most of the variability is due to individual eriophyoid mite-plant interactions. Usually, the direction and intensity of changes in eriophyoid-infested plant organs depend on mite genotype, density, or the feeding period, and are strongly differentiated relative to host plant species, cultivar, age and location. Although the mechanisms of changes elicited by eriophyoid mites within plants are not fully understood, in many cases the qualitative and quantitative biochemical status of mite-infested plants are known to affect the performance of consecutive herbivorous arthropods. In future, elucidation of the pathways from eriophyoid mite damage to plant gene activation will be necessary to clarify plant responses and to explain variation in plant tissue damage at the feeding and adjacent sites.
本文综述了近年来有关植物对叶螨攻击产生的细胞学、生物化学和生理学变化的研究进展。研究表明，寄主植物对叶螨的反应是多种多样的。大多数变异性归因于叶螨-植物的个体相互作用。通常，受叶螨侵害的植物器官的变化方向和强度取决于叶螨的基因型、密度或取食期，并且与寄主植物的物种、品种、年龄和位置有很大的差异。尽管叶螨在植物体内引起的变化机制尚未完全阐明，但在许多情况下，受叶螨侵害的植物的定性和定量生物化学状态已知会影响后续草食性节肢动物的表现。未来，有必要阐明从叶螨损害到植物基因激活的途径，以阐明植物的反应，并解释取食和相邻部位植物组织损伤的变异性。
