Abstract excerpt
Complex II inhibitors (METI-II) are important acaricides for controlling the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, but resistance to this relatively new mode of action is rapidly emerging. Here, we identified a novel sdhB substitution, S212N, in a highly resistant Turkish field strain, while a different substitution at the same position, S212I, has previously been associated with resistance, but without...
