Last paper- spiromesifen resistance and its mechanisms in Tetranychus urticae in Türkiye!

In our recent paper which is under press in Crop protection, the lipid synthesis inhibitor spiromesifen was found to be effective against 7 of the 9 sampled T. urticae populations collected from Türkiye. However,  two populations showed more than 60-fold resistance to spiromesifen. Mechanism-wise, P450s play a role in spiromesifen resistance. Additionally, we detected a target-site mutation F1640L in ACCase, the target site of spiromesifen. As a final notice, higher expression of ACCase could also contribute to resistance.
