“…Resistance to mite growth inhibitors and chitin synthase inhibitors has been attributed to the I1017F mutation in chitin synthase (Demaeght et al., 2014; Douris et al., 2016; Grigoraki et al., 2017; Riga et al., 2017; Van Leeuwen et al., 2012). As the I1017F mutation is located in a highly conserved region of the CHS1 gene (Douris et al., 2016; Grigoraki et al., 2017; Suzuki, Shiotsuki, Jouraku, Miura, & Minakuchi, 2017; Yamamoto, Yoneda, Hatano, & Asada, 1995) , this substitution could impair the enzymatic function.…”
