Proposed working model of MATI protein in plant defense against T. urticae attack. MATI protein enables the accumulation of antioxidants in response to spider mite feeding, controlling plant redox homeostasis to avoiding oxidative damage and cell death (PCD). Besides, MATI is involved in the modulation of the signaling pathways of JA and SA hormones, finally inducing JA effects. In consequence, MATI triggers plant tolerance to spider mites, reducing leaf damage and diminishing mite fecundity.
