PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 203:106025. [PMID: 39084764 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2024.106025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Peanut web blotch (PWB) caused by Phoma arachidicola, is one of the most serious foliar diseases of peanut. Although prochloraz is an active fungicide with broad anti-fungal spectrum, it has not been registered for the control of PWB in China. The activity of prochloraz against P. arachidicola and the risk of resistance to prochloraz in P. arachidicola are still unclear. In current study, the inhibitory activity of prochloraz against 96 P. arachidicola strains was determined with the average EC50 value of 1.2700 ± 0.7786 μg/mL. Prochloraz exhibited excellent protective and curative effect on detached peanut leaves, and the effect was obviously better than that of carbendazim and difenoconazole at the same concentration. After prochloraz treatment, the mycelium of P. arachidicola contorted, shrunk and ruptured, with shrinking of cell wall and membrane, enhanced cell membrane permeability, and reduced ergosterol content. Totally 80 prochloraz-resistant mutants were obtained by fungicide adaptation with the frequency of 6.7 × 10-3. All the selected 12 prochloraz-resistant mutants lost their resistance to prochloraz after 10 transfers on PDA plates. And these mutants exhibited decreased biological fitness in mycelial growth and pathogenicity. Moreover, there was positive cross-resistance between prochloraz and other demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides, such as tebuconazole, triflumizole and difenoconazole, but no cross-resistance was found between prochloraz and other classes of fungicides, such as carbendazim, pydiflumetofen or fludioxonil. Overexpression of PaCYP51 and PaAtrB genes were detected in the resistant mutants. All the above results demonstrated that prochloraz has a great potential in management of PWB. The risk of P. arachidicola developing resistance to prochloraz is relatively low-to-medium. Overexpressing of PaCYP51 and PaAtrB might be linked to prochloraz resistance in P. arachidicola.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024; 80:1802-1811. [PMID: 38029343 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Brown rot disease, caused by Monilinia fructicola, poses a significant challenge to peach production in China. The efficacy of mefentrifluconazole, a new triazole fungicide, in controlling brown rot in peaches has been remarkable. However, the resistance risk and mechanism associated with this fungicide remain unclear. This study was designed to assess the resistance risk of M. fructicola to mefentrifluconazole and reveal the potential resistance mechanism. RESULTS The mean median effective concentration (EC50 ) of 101 M. fructicola isolates to mefentrifluconazole was 0.003 μg mL-1 , and the sensitivity exhibited a unimodal distribution. Seven mefentrifluconazole-resistant mutants were generated from three parental isolates in the laboratory through fungicide adaption. The biological characteristics of the resistant mutants revealed that three of them exhibited enhanced survival fitness compared to the parental isolates, whereas the remaining four mutants displayed reduced survival fitness. Mefentrifluconazole showed strong positive cross-resistance with fenbuconazole, whereas no cross-resistance was observed with pyrimethanil, procymidone or pydiflumetofen. No overexpression of MfCYP51 gene was detected in the resistant mutants. Multiple sequence alignment revealed that three resistant mutants (MXSB2-2, Mf12-1 and Mf12-2) had a point mutation (G461S) in MfCYP51 protein. Molecular docking techniques confirmed the contribution of this point mutation to mefentrifluconazole resistance. CONCLUSION The risk of M. fructicola developing resistance to mefentrifluconazole is relatively low-to-medium and point mutation G461S in MfCYP51 could confer mefentrifluconazole resistance in M. fructicola. This study provided essential data for monitoring the emergence of resistance and developing resistance management strategies for mefentrifluconazole. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Ipconazole is a broad-spectrum triazole fungicide that is highly effective against Fusarium pseudograminearum. However, its risk of developing resistance and mechanism are not well understood in F. pseudograminearum. Here, the sensitivities of 101 F. pseudograminearum isolates to ipconazole were investigated, and the average EC50 value was 0.1072 μg/mL. Seven mutants resistant to ipconazole were obtained by fungicide adaption, with all but one showing reduced fitness relative to the parental isolates. Cross-resistance was found between ipconazole and mefentrifluconazole and tebuconazole, but none between ipconazole and pydiflumetofen, carbendazim, fludioxonil, or phenamacril. In summary, these findings suggest that there is a low risk of F. pseudograminearum developing resistance to ipconazole. Additionally, a point mutation, G464S, was seen in FpCYP51B and overexpression of FpCYP51A, FpCYP51B and FpCYP51C was observed in ipconazole-resistant mutants. Assays, including transformation and molecular docking, indicated that G464S conferred ipconazole resistance in F. pseudograminearum.

Abstract
Tomato early blight is a significant disease that causes substantial losses to tomato yield and quality. Mefentrifluconazole, an isopropanol-azole subgroup of triazole fungicides, has been registered in China for controlling various plant diseases, including tomato early blight, grape anthracnose, and apple brown spot. However, limited information is available on the mefentrifluconazole resistance risk and mechanism in plant pathogens. The sensitivity to mefentrifluconazole of 122 isolates of Alternaria alternata, one of the causal agents of tomato early blight, collected from different provinces in China, was evaluated. The results showed a unimodal curve for the sensitivity frequency, with an average EC50 of 0.306 μg/mL. Through fungicide adaption, six resistant mutants (N4, N5, T4, T5, NG1, and NG10) were obtained from three parental isolates, with a mutation frequency of 3.28 × 10-4 and resistance factors ranging between 19 and 147. The survival fitness of the resistant mutants, except for NG1, was significantly lower than that of their parental isolates. Positive cross-resistance was observed between mefentrifluconazole and difenoconazole or fenbuconazole, whereas no cross-resistance was found with three non-DMI fungicides. Furthermore, three distinct point mutations were detected in the AaCYP51 protein of the resistant mutants: I300S in T4 and T5; A303T in N4, NG1, and NG10; and A303V in N5. Compared to the parental isolates, the AaCYP51 gene was overexpressed in all six resistant mutants when treated with mefentrifluconazole. In summary, the resistance risk of A. alternata to mefentrifluconazole was low, and point mutations and overexpression of the AaCYP51 gene were identified as contributing factors to mefentrifluconazole resistance in A. alternata.

Abstract
Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum scovillei is one of the most destructive diseases of chili worldwide. Florylpicoxamid is a new quinone inside inhibitor (QiI) fungicide, which shows intensively inhibitory activity against C. scovillei. Currently, florylpicoxamid is in the registration process to control chili anthracnose in China. This study investigated the risk of resistance and resistance genetic mechanism of C. scovillei to florylpicoxamid. Baseline sensitivity of 141C. scovillei isolates to florylpicoxamid was established with an average EC50 value of 0.2328 ± 0.0876 μg/mL. A total of seven stable florylpicoxamid-resistant mutants were obtained with resistance factors ranging from 41 to 276. The mutants showed similar or weaker traits in mycelial growth, sporulation, conidial germination and pathogenicity than their parental isolates. Generally, the resistance risk of C. scovillei to florylpicoxamid would be moderate. In addition, there was no cross-resistance between florylpicoxamid and the commercially available fungicides tested. A37V and S207L mutations in the cytochrome b protein were detected in four high-resistance and three moderate-resistance mutants, respectively, of which, S207L is a new mutation. Molecular docking showed that the two mutations conferred different resistance levels to florylpicoxamid. These results provide a new perspective for QiI fungicide-resistance mechanism and may help in the reasonable use of florylpicoxamid against chili anthracnose in the future.

Abstract
Anthracnose disease, caused by Colletotrichum truncatum, is a destructive fungal disease in soybean worldwide, and some demethylation inhibitor fungicides are used to manage it. In this study, the sensitivity of C. truncatum to difenoconazole was determined, and the risk for resistance development of C. truncatum to difenoconazole was also assessed. The results showed that the mean EC50 value was 0.9313 μg/ml, and the frequency of sensitivity formed a unimodal distribution. Six stable mutants with a mutation frequency of 8.33 × 10-5 were generated, and resistance factors ranged from 3.00 to 5.81 after 10 successive culture transfers. All mutants exhibited fitness penalties in reduced mycelial growth rate, sporulation, and pathogenicity, except for the Ct2-3-5 mutant. Positive cross-resistance was observed between difenoconazole and propiconazole but not between difenoconazole and prochloraz, pyraclostrobin, or fluazinam. One point mutation I463V in CYP51A was found in five resistant mutants. Surprisingly, the homologous I463V mutation has not been observed in other plant pathogens. CYP51A and CYP51B expression increased slightly in the resistant mutants as compared to wild-types when exposed to difenoconazole but not in the CtR61-2-3f and CtR61-2-4a mutants. In general, a new point mutation, I463V in CYP51A, could be associated with low resistance to difenoconazole in C. truncatum. In the greenhouse assay, control efficacy of difenoconazole on both parental isolates and the mutants increased in a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, the resistance risk of C. truncatum to difenoconazole is regarded to be low to moderate, suggesting that difenoconazole can still be reasonably used to control soybean anthracnose.
