This study identifies the G126S mutation in Tetranychus urticae as a key driver of bifenazate resistance, showing its rapid fixation under selection and its sufficiency for high-level resistance in a Russian population.

The paper develops a bacterial colorimetric reporter system to screen SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors using plant juices, showing it can detect inhibition in living cells.
