Ectropis oblique is a specialist geometrid that feeds on tea plant(Camellia sinensis) and causes serious damage in the southern areas of China. Molecular breeding of tea plant for tea geometrid resistance draws various tea producing countries' attention. The studies on the mechanisms of resistance to E. oblique by tea plants are the foundation of creating new insect-resistance materials. Tea plants have generated a series of mechanisms to resist two processes related to E. oblique feeding: mechanical damage...
