Genomic analysis of population structure and target-site mutations of Tetranychus truncatus in China.
Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTetranychus truncatus is a dominant mite pest in China, yet its population structure and pesticide resistance status remain poorly characterized. To address this, we performed whole-genome resequencing of 176 individuals, integrating them with previous data to analyze 343 individuals from 44 populations. We investigated the population genetic structure, screened for 22 target-site resistance mutations across ten genes, and reconstructed the evolutionary origins of resistance mutations in acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
resultsPhylogenetic analysis identified four geography-based clades. The southeast China (SEC) lineage emerged as the most genetically distinct, characterized by high differentiation yet low nucleotide diversity. However, deviations from strict geographic clustering were observed; TreeMix and admixture analyses revealed that phylogenetic outliers resulted from extensive gene flow bridging distant lineages. While resistance mutations were generally rare, high frequencies of AChE mutations were detected. Evolutionary analysis revealed contrasting patterns: the widespread F331W mutation and the derived G328A mutation (confined to northern regions) shared a single evolutionary origin, whereas the F331Y mutation, which dominated the isolated SEC lineage, arose via multiple independent origins.
conclusionResistance evolution in T. truncatus is tightly coupled with population history. The strong isolation of the SEC lineage maintains a distinct, independently evolved resistance profile (F331Y), limiting the ingress of northern haplotypes. Conversely, extensive anthropogenic gene flow in northern China has facilitated the widespread dispersal of the single-origin F331W and G328A mutations. These findings highlight that both historical divergence and human-mediated dispersal shape local resistance landscapes, necessitating region-specific management strategies. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
