Abstract
BACKGROUND Grapevine downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara viticola, is an economically important disease in Australia and worldwide. The application of fungicides is the main tool to control this disease. Frequent fungicide applications can lead to the selection of resistant P. viticola populations, which has negative impacts on the management of the disease. Identification of resistance and its prevalence is necessary to inform resistance management strategies. RESULTS A total of 86 P. viticola isolates were collected between 2017 and 2022 from vineyards in 15 growing regions across Australia for four fungicide groups; phenylamide (PA, group 4), carboxylic acid amide (CAA, group 40), quinone outside inhibitor (QoI, group 11) and quinone outside inhibitor stigmatellin binding type (QoSI, group 45). Decreased phenotypic sensitivity was detected for all four groups, and resistance to metalaxyl-M (PA) and pyraclostrobin (QoI), was detected. Genetic analysis to detect the G143A (QoI) and G1105S (CAA) mutations using amplicon-based sequencing was performed for 239 and 65 isolates collected in 2014-2017 and 2017-2022, respectively. G143A was detected in 8% and 52% of isolates, respectively, with strong association to phenotypic resistance. However, G1105S was not detected in any isolates. CONCLUSION Plasmopara viticola isolates in Australia with resistance to at least two fungicide groups have been detected, therefore it is necessary to adopt resistance management strategies where resistance has been detected. Vineyards should continue to be monitored to improve management strategies for downy mildew. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Pear powdery mildew (PPM), caused by Phyllactinia pyri, is one of the most serious diseases affecting production in the Hebei pear-growing region of China. Iminoctadine trialbesilate and trifloxystrobin are known to have broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of plant pathogens, including P. pyri. A total of 105 P. pyri strains were isolated from 11 cities in Hebei Province from 2017 to 2019. Iminoctadine trialbesilate and trifloxystrobin significantly inhibited P. pyri growth. Microscopic observation showed that P. pyri mycelia had different degrees of desiccation and that the conidial cell contents had been released. The sensitivities of 60 P. pyri strains to iminoctadine trialbesilate and trifloxystrobin were determined in vitro, and the average EC50 values were 0.5773 ± 0.0014 and 1.2038 ± 0.0010 μg/ml, respectively. The average EC50 values for 85 and 75% of the strains with continuous single peak frequency distributions were 0.4534 ± 0.0012 and 0.8124 ± 0.0039 μg/ml, respectively. These data could be used as the baseline sensitivities of P. pyri to these two fungicides. The maximum difference multiples of the sensitivities of P. pyri strains from the different cities to iminoctadine trialbesilate and trifloxystrobin were 13.5- and 17.2-fold, respectively. Cluster analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between P. pyri sensitivity and geographical origin. The field efficacies in controlling PPM were higher than 85%. These findings can improve how we monitor iminoctadine trialbesilate and trifloxystrobin resistance and improve application efficiency.

Abstract
Grape downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola is one of the most devastating diseases of grapevine worldwide. Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides are commonly used for the control of the pathogen in grape fields across China. However, their recurrent use could lead to the emergence of resistance against these compounds. Based on the most common mutation in resistant isolates, a glycine to alanine substitution at amino acid position 143 (G143A) in the cytochrome b protein, a TaqMan-MGB PCR was developed for the rapid detection of resistance to the QoI fungicide azoxystrobin in P. viticola. Specificity and sensitivity of this method showed it could specifically detect the point mutations linked with QoI resistance in P. viticola, and the detection limit was 0.2 pg. It could also quantify the resistance allele even in isolate mixtures containing as little as 5% QoI-resistant P. viticola strains. With this method, a large P. viticola population (n = 2,373) was screened, and QoI-resistant isolates were identified for the first time in China. The average frequencies of the resistant genotype from eight major-grapevine regions were up to 66%. Taken together, the results not only provide a novel tool for the rapid distinction and quantification of the QoI-resistant allele in P. viticola but also provide important references for fungicide selection and application, which will facilitate resistance management of grape downy mildew and improve grape production systems in Chinese vineyards.

Resistance of Black Aspergilli Species from Grape Vineyards to SDHI, QoI, DMI, and Phenylpyrrole Fungicides. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:jof9020221. [PMID: 36836335 PMCID: PMC9961879 DOI: 10.3390/jof9020221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Fungicide applications constitute a management practice that reduces the size of fungal populations and by acting as a genetic drift factor, may affect pathogen evolution. In a previous study, we showed that the farming system influenced the population structure of the Aspergillus section Nigri species in Greek vineyards. The current study aimed to test the hypothesis that the differences in the population structure may be associated with the selection of fungicide-resistant strains within the black aspergilli populations. To achieve this, we determined the sensitivity of 102, 151, 19, and 22 for the A. uvarum, A. tubingensis, A. niger, and A. carbonarious isolates, respectively, originating either from conventionally-treated or organic vineyards to the fungicides fluxapyroxad-SDHIs, pyraclostrobin-QoIs, tebuconazole-DMIs, and fludioxonil-phenylpyrroles. The results showed widespread resistance to all four fungicides tested in the A. uvarum isolates originating mostly from conventional vineyards. In contrast, all the A. tubingensis isolates tested were sensitive to pyraclostrobin, while moderate frequencies of only lowly resistant isolates were identified for tebuconazole, fludioxonil, and fluxapyroxad. Sequencing analysis of the corresponding fungicide target encoding genes revealed the presence of H270Y, H65Q/S66P, and G143A mutations in the sdhB, sdhD, and cytb genes of A. uvarum resistant isolates, respectively. No mutations in the Cyp51A and Cyp51B genes were detected in either the A. uvarum or A. tubingensis isolates exhibiting high or low resistance levels to DMIs, suggesting that other resistance mechanisms are responsible for the observed phenotype. Our results support the initial hypothesis for the contribution of fungicide resistance in the black aspergilli population structure in conventional and organic vineyards, while this is the first report of A. uvarum resistance to SDHIs and the first documentation of H270Y or H65Q/S66P mutations in sdhB, sdhD, and of the G143A mutation in the cytb gene of this fungal species.

New insights from short and long reads sequencing to explore cytochrome b variants in Plasmopara viticola populations collected from vineyards and related to resistance to complex III inhibitors. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0268385.

Abstract
Downy mildew is caused by Plasmopara viticola, an obligate oomycete plant pathogen, a devasting disease of grapevine. To protect plants from the disease, complex III inhibitors are among the fungicides widely used. They specifically target the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) of the pathogen to block cellular respiration mechanisms. In the French vineyard, P. viticola has developed resistance against a first group of these fungicides, the Quinone outside Inhibitors (QoI), with a single amino acid substitution G143A in its cytb mitochondrial sequence. The use of QoI was limited and another type of fungicide, the Quinone inside Inhibitors, targeting the same gene and highly effective against oomycetes, was used instead. Recently however, less sensitive P. viticola populations were detected after treatments with some inhibitors, in particular ametoctradin and cyazofamid. By isolating single-sporangia P. viticola strains resistant to these fungicides, we characterized new variants in the cytb sequences associated with cyazofamid resistance: a point mutation (L201S) and more strikingly, two insertions (E203-DE-V204, E203-VE-V204). In parallel with the classical tools, pyrosequencing and qPCR, we then benchmarked short and long-reads NGS technologies (Ion Torrent, Illumina, Oxford Nanopore Technologies) to sequence the complete cytb with a view to detecting and assessing the proportion of resistant variants of P. viticola at the scale of a field population. Eighteen populations collected from French vineyard fields in 2020 were analysed: 12 showed a variable proportion of G143A, 11 of E203-DE-V204 and 7 populations of the S34L variant that confers resistance to ametoctradin. Interestingly, the long reads were able to identify variants, including SNPs, with confidence and to detect a small proportion of P. viticola with multiple variants along the same cytb sequence. Overall, NGS appears to be a promising method for assessing fungicide resistance of pathogens linked to cytb modifications at the field population level. This approach could rapidly become a robust decision support tool for resistance management in the future.

Abstract
The use of single-site fungicides to control plant pathogens in the agroecosystem can be associated with an increased selection of resistance. The evolution of resistance represents one of the biggest challenges in disease control. In vineyards, frequent applications of fungicides are carried out every season for multiple years. The agronomic risk of developing fungicide resistance is, therefore, high. Plasmopara viticola, the causal agent of grapevine downy mildew, is a high risk pathogen associated with the development of fungicide resistance. P. viticola has developed resistance to most of the fungicide classes used and constitutes one of the most important threats for grapevine production. The goals of this review are to describe fungicide resistance evolution in P. viticola populations and how to conduct proper monitoring activities. Different methods have been developed for phenotyping and genotyping P. viticola for fungicide resistance and the different phases of resistance evolution and life cycles of the pathogen are discussed, to provide a full monitoring toolkit to limit the spread of resistance. A detailed revision of the available tools will help in shaping and harmonizing the monitoring activities between countries and organizations.

The Climate-Driven Genetic Diversity Has a Higher Impact on the Population Structure of Plasmopara viticola Than the Production System or QoI Fungicide Sensitivity in Subtropical Brazil. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:575045.

Abstract
Downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara viticola, is the main disease affecting vineyards in subtropical Brazil. Here, we collected 94 P. viticola isolates from four organic and conventional vineyards in the two main grape-growing states of Brazil to evaluate the sensitivity to the quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) azoxystrobin by pheno- and genotyping assays. The impact of location, production system and sensitivity to QoI fungicides on the population genetics and structure of P. viticola was determined using 10 microsatellite markers. Cytochrome b sequencing revealed that 28 and 100% of the isolates from vineyards under organic and conventional management carried the G143A mutation, respectively. The G143A mutation was associated with high levels of azoxystrobin resistance. Three out of the 94 isolates analyzed carried the M125I alteration, not previously described in P. viticola, which was associated with a five-fold reduction in azoxystrobin sensitivity compared to wild-type isolates. Haplotype network analysis based on cytochrome b gene sequences suggested that the Brazilian populations are more closely related to the European than the North American population. A total of six haplotypes were identified, with two of them carrying the G143A mutation. Microsatellite analysis revealed high allelic and genotypic variation among the four populations. Population differentiation analyses indicated that state of origin directly influences the population biology of P. viticola, while production system and QoI sensitivity have little effect. Great genetic diversity, sexual reproduction and high levels of admixture were observed in Rio Grande do Sul State. In contrast, populations in São Paulo State were dominated by a few clonal genotypes, and no admixed genotype was detected between the two genetic pools identified in the state. This study raises the hypothesis that winter weather conditions influence the overwinter survival strategy with profound effects in the population biology of P. viticola.

Abstract
Grapevine downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola is one of the most important diseases in vineyards. Oospores that overwinter in the leaf litter above the soil are the sole source of inoculum for primary infections of P. viticola; in addition to triggering the first infections in the season, the oospores in leaf litter also contribute to disease development during the season. In the current study, a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method that was previously developed to detect P. viticola DNA in fresh grapevine leaves was assessed for its ability to quantify P. viticola oospores in diseased, senescent grapevine leaves. The qPCR assay was specific to P. viticola and sensitive to decreasing amounts of both genomic DNA and numbers of P. viticola oospores used to generate qPCR standard curves. When the qPCR assay was compared to microscope counts of oospores in leaves with different levels of P. viticola infestation, a strong linear relationship (R2 = 0.70) was obtained between the numbers of P. viticola oospores per gram of leaves as determined by qPCR vs. microscopic observation. Unlike microscopic observation, the qPCR assay was able to detect significant differences between leaf samples with a low level of oospore infestation (25% infested leaves and 75% non-infested leaves) vs. samples without infestation, and this ability was not influenced by the weight of the leaf sample. The results indicate that the qPCR method is sensitive and provides reliable estimates of the number of P. viticola oospores in grapevine leaves. Additional research is needed to determine whether the qPCR method is useful for quantifying P. viticola oospores in grapevine leaf litter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metyltetraprole is a novel quinol oxidation site of Complex III inhibitor (QoI) fungicide that inhibits mitochondrial electron transport at the Qo site of the cytochrome bc1 complex. Previous reports have demonstrated that it is also active against the QoI-resistant (QoI-R) isolates of Zymoseptoria tritici and Pyrenophora teres with the mutations G143A and F129L in their cytochrome b gene, respectively. Further studies on cross-resistance between metyltetraprole and existing QoIs were performed using an increased number of isolates of Z. tritici, P. teres, Ramularia collo-cygni, Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, and several other plant pathogenic fungi. RESULTS Differences in the EC50 values between the wild-type and QoI-R isolates with the mutations G143A or F129L were always smaller for metyltetraprole compared to those for the existing QoIs, and they were never greater than five in terms of resistance factor. The 2-year field experiments showed that the metyltetraprole treatment did not increase the percentage of QoI-R isolates likely to harbor the G143A mutation in a Z. tritici population. CONCLUSION The unique behavior of metyltetraprole against the existing QoI-R isolates was confirmed for all tested pathogen species. Our results provide important information to establish a fungicide resistance management strategy using metyltetraprole in combination or alternation with other fungicides. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides have been an important class in managing potato early blight caused by Alternaria solani and brown spot caused by A. alternata. Because of the single-site mode of action character of QoI fungicides, which are relied on for management of diseases in Wisconsin, and the abundant asexual conidia production of the Alternaria species, pathogen isolates with QoI resistance have been detected after just a few years of QoI fungicide usage in commercial production fields. Resistance to QoIs has been attributed to amino acid substitutions F129L and G143A in cytochrome b of A. solani and A. alternata, respectively, as a result of point mutations. The aim of this study was to assess Alternaria populations in Wisconsin for QoI resistance before and after fungicide applications in order to evaluate resistance stability. A TaqMan single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping assay was designed based on the sequences of the cytochrome b gene from Alternaria isolates collected in Wisconsin to profile QoI resistance in Alternaria populations as well as to explore factors that may influence frequency of QoI resistance in the pathogen populations. This assay successfully identified the mutations conferring QoI resistance in isolates collected from four locations each year from 2015 to 2017. During the course of this study, the frequency of A. solani isolates with the F129L mutation was consistently high and showed primarily the TTA mutation type. The frequency of A. alternata isolates with the G143A mutation started relatively low and increased at the end of the production season in each year (P = 0.0109, P = 0.2083, and P = 0.0159). A potato field managed without use of QoI fungicides showed a significantly lower (P < 0.05) frequency of A. alternata isolates carrying G143A than conventionally managed potato fields. The overall frequency of A. alternata isolates carrying G143A in the four locations was similar over the 3 years (P = 0.2971). The QoI resistance characteristics of the isolates were stable even when QoI selection pressure was removed for at least five subculture transfers, and the mutation types of codons 129 and 143 in the cytochrome b gene in A. solani and A. alternata, respectively, remained the same. This indicated that the application of QoIs in the field is not the sole factor responsible for the variation of the frequency of QoI resistance in the pathogen populations.

A time-course investigation of resistance to the carboxylic acid amide mandipropamid in field populations of Plasmopara viticola treated with anti-resistance strategies. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2018; 74:2822-2834. [PMID: 29749019 DOI: 10.1002/ps.5072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2017] [Revised: 03/28/2018] [Accepted: 05/08/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite anti-resistance strategies being recommended to reduce selection pressure on insensitive strains, no information is available on fungal population dynamics following their application in real field conditions. In this study, the effects on Plasmopara viticola populations of two identical spray programs, differing only in including or not the carboxylic acid amide (CAA) mandipropamid in mixture and in alternation with an anti-resistance partner, were compared in terms of downy mildew control efficacy and mandipropamid sensitivity in two commercial vineyards for four seasons. RESULTS Both programs effectively and similarly protected grapevine from downy mildew, despite different starting sensitivity levels of the P. viticola populations. In the vineyard where resistant strains were initially present, the frequency of mutations associated with resistance (G1105S/V) fluctuated within seasons in both programs and a shift towards sensitivity occurred after 3 years of the mandipropamid-free program. Where sensitivity was initially present, no changes occurred in the mandipropamid-free program and resistant strains were selected in the mandipropamid program in high disease pressure conditions. CONCLUSION The anti-resistance strategy including mandipropamid in mixture showed a good field performance, but did not completely prevent an increase in the frequency of insensitive strains. This supports the need for appropriate planning to determine which mixtures should be used in the field. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) in Brazil is mainly controlled with applications of fungicides, including demethylation inhibitors (DMI) and quinone outside inhibitors (QoI). Isolates with less sensitivity to DMI and QoI have been reported, and these have been found to have mutations in the CYP51 and CYTB genes, respectively. There have been no reports of fitness costs in isolates with mutations in CYP51 and CYTB, and the aim of this work was to compare the competitive ability of isolates with lower DMI or QoI sensitivities with that of sensitive (wild-type) isolates. Urediniospores of sensitive wild-type isolates and isolates with different CYP51 or CYTB alleles were mixed and inoculated on detached soybean leaves. After 3 weeks, urediniospores were harvested and used as inoculum for the next disease cycle. Frequencies of relevant target site mutations were monitored using the pyrosequencing method over four disease cycles. Isolates with lower DMI sensitivity and different CYP51 alleles had competitive disadvantages compared with a DMI-sensitive, wild-type CYP51 isolate. In contrast, the isolate with the F129L mutation in the CYTB gene competed equally well with a QoI-sensitive, wild-type CYTB isolate under the conditions of this experiment. The CYP51 and CYTB alleles were stable in all isolates over four disease cycles when cultivated alone.

Abstract
The sensitivity of downy mildew (DM, Plasmopara viticola) and powdery mildew (PM, Erysiphe necator) of grape (Vitis sp.) to commonly used nondemethylation inhibitor, single-site fungicides in and near Virginia was determined from 2005 to 2007, with more limited additional sampling in subsequent years. In grape leaf disc bioassays, 92% of the P. viticola isolates were quinone outside inhibitor (QoI, azoxystrobin) resistant but none were resistant to mefenoxam. In all, 82% of the E. necator isolates were QoI resistant. Most of the QoI-resistant P. viticola and E. necator isolates contained >95% of the G143A point mutation, which confers high levels of QoI resistance. In contrast, QoI-sensitive P. viticola isolates contained less than 1% of G143A. In total, 1 of 145 and 14 of 154 QoI-resistant P. viticola and E. necator isolates (able to grow on azoxystrobin concentration ≥1 μg/ml), respectively, contained <1% G143A. In total, 61 E. necator isolates from 23 locations were tested against thiophanate methyl, and the majority grew well on leaf tissue treated with 50 and 250 μg/ml. Through 2012, none of the E. necator isolates were resistant to boscalid and quinoxyfen. However, in 2013, quinoxyfen-resistant E. necator was detected in one vineyard experiencing difficulties with powdery mildew control. No 50% effective concentration value could be calculated but these isolates tolerated labeled rates with only limited inhibition. QoI (E. necator and P. viticola) and benzimidazole (E. necator) resistance were widespread in Virginia, rendering these materials inadvisable for control of these diseases. The practical importance and current distribution of quinoxyfen resistance needs further investigation.

[PMID: 25212392 DOI: 10.1002/ps.3906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2014] [Revised: 08/27/2014] [Accepted: 09/06/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The level of sensibility towards cymoxanil was quantified by oospore germination assays in 28 populations of Plasmopara viticola (Berk. et Curt.) Berlese and De Toni sampled from different Italian regions from 2009 to 2012. RESULTS The populations showed good sensitivity levels, with EC50 values often lower than 10 mg AI L(-1) and percentages of resistant individuals lower than 16%. Only three populations, sampled at the end of the 2012 grapevine growing season, were characterised by high resistance levels. Field trials carried out in two of these vineyards showed that, at the beginning of the 2013 grapevine growing season, the EC50 values of P. viticola populations as measured in the sporangial assay were higher than those observed with oospores. At the end of the season, in plots where cymoxanil was not applied, the populations fully reverted to sensitivity, while the EC50 values remained high where 3-6 applications were performed. CONCLUSION Oospore germination assays provide valuable information on the sensitivity of populations in vineyards also at the quantitative level. The results obtained during the grapevine growing season confirm those obtained on the oospores, and that cymoxanil resistance is unstable, indirectly suggesting that the application of the fungicide according to antiresistance strategies can lead to good disease control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence of carboxylic acid amide (CAA)-fungicide-resistant Plasmopara viticola populations is becoming a serious problem in the control of grapevine downy mildew worldwide. RESULTS The authors have developed a method, which utilises PCR-RFLP, for the rapid detection of resistance to the CAA fungicide mandipropamid in P. viticola populations. With this method, a glycine-to-serine substitution at codon 1105 of the cellulose synthase gene PvCesA3 of CAA-fungicide-resistant P. viticola was easily detected, although no resistant P. viticola was detected from 398 isolates in Japan. CONCLUSION It is proposed that the PCR-RFLP method is a reliable tool for the rapid detection of CAA-fungicide-resistant P. viticola isolates. Only 4 h was required from the sampling of symptoms to the phenotyping of fungicide resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of grapevine powdery mildew Erysiphe necator Schw. requires fungicide treatments such as sterol demethylation inhibitors (DMIs) or mitochondrial inhibitors (QoIs). Recently, reduction in the efficacy of DMIs or QoIs was reported in Europe and the United States. The aim of the present study was to develop real-time qPCR tools to detect and quantify several CYP51 gene variants of E. necator: (i) A versus B groups (G37A) and (ii) sensitive versus resistant to sterol demethylase inhibitor fungicides (Y136F). RESULTS The efficacy of the qPCR tools developed was better than the CAPS method, with a limit of 2 pg for E necator DNA, 0.06 ng for genetic group A and 1.4 ng for the DMI-resistant allele. The detection limits of qPCR protocols (LOD) ranged from 0.72 to 0.85%, and the quantification limits (LOQ) ranged from 2.4 to 2.85% for the two alleles G47A and Y136F respectively. The application of qPCR to field isolates from French vineyards showed the presence of DMI-resistant and/or QoI-resistant alleles in French pathogen populations, linked to genetic group B. CONCLUSION The real-time PCR assay developed in this study provides a potentially useful tool for efficient quantification of different alleles of interest for fungicide monitoring and for population structure of E. necator.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing occurrence of Qo inhibitor (QoI)-fungicide-resistant Plasmopara viticola (Berk. & MA Curtis) Berl. & DeToni populations is becoming a serious problem in the control of grapevine downy mildew worldwide. RESULTS The authors have developed a rapid method for detecting resistance to a QoI fungicide, azoxystrobin, in P. viticola populations using the nested PCR-RFLP method. With this method, a glycine-to-alanine substitution was discovered at codon 143 in the cytochrome b gene of P. viticola populations found in Japan. CONCLUSION It is proposed that the nested PCR-RFLP method is a high-speed, sensitive and reliable tool for detecting azoxystrobin-resistant P. viticola populations.
