Mycorrhiza-induced resistance in citrus against Tetranychus urticae is plant-species dependent and inversely correlated to basal immunity.

Altogether, MIR effectiveness is inversely correlated to basal immunity in different citrus species, and it provides multifaceted protection in the susceptible C. reshni against T. urticae activating rapidly local, and systemic defenses that are mainly regulated by the accumulation of specific flavones and priming of JA-dependent responses.
