The purpose of the presented six year research to expand the knowledge on all aspects of glasshouse tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) defense strategies to the carmine spider mite - CSM (Tetranychus cinnabarinus). The study explained: which type of mechanism of the constitutive resistance is functioning in tomato plants, whether the level of such resistance can determine the intensity of changes induced by CSM feeding on tomato cultivars chosen for the study and whether changes caused in the damaged parts (CSM-infested leaves, local changes) may also affect the response of plant organs not exposed to pest activity (uninfested leaves of infested plant) indicating the existence of included (systemic) resistance
