Abstract
Fusarium head blight caused by Fusarium graminearum is a devastating disease in wheat that seriously endangers food security and human health. Previous studies have found that the secondary metabolite phenazine-1-carboxamide produced by biocontrol bacteria inhibited F. graminearum by binding to and inhibiting the activity of histone acetyltransferase Gcn5 (FgGcn5). However, the detailed mechanism of this inhibition remains unknown. Our structural and biochemical studies revealed that phenazine-1-carboxamide (PCN) binds to the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) domain of FgGcn5 at its cosubstrate acetyl-CoA binding site, thus competitively inhibiting the histone acetylation function of the enzyme. Alanine substitution of the residues in the binding site shared by PCN and acetyl-CoA not only decreased the histone acetylation level of the enzyme but also dramatically impacted the development, mycotoxin synthesis, and virulence of the strain. Taken together, our study elucidated a competitive inhibition mechanism of Fusarium fungus by PCN and provided a structural template for designing more potent phenazine-based fungicides.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is an integral component of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and respiratory electron transport chain (ETC), targeted by succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs). Fusarium asiaticum is a prominent phytopathogen causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat. Here, we characterized the functions of the FaSdhA, FaSdhB, FaSdhC1, FaSdhC2, and FaSdhD subunits. Deletion of FaSdhA, FaSdhB, or FaSdhD resulted in significant growth defects in F. asiaticum. The FaSdhC1 or FaSdhC2 deletion mutants exhibited substantial reductions in fungal growth, conidiation, virulence, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The FaSdhC1 expression was significantly induced by pydiflumetofen (PYD). The ΔFaSdhC1 mutant displayed hypersensitivity to SDHIs, whereas the ΔFaSdhC2 mutant exhibited resistance against most SDHIs. The transmembrane domains of FaSdhC1 are essential for regulating mycelial growth, virulence, and sensitivity to SDHIs. These findings provided valuable insights into how the two SdhC paralogues regulated the functional integrity of SDH, ROS homeostasis, and the sensitivity to SDHIs in phytopathogenic fungi.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wheat Fusarium crown rot (FCR) is a serious problem primarily caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, a pathogenic agent known to produce mycotoxins, including deoxynivalenol (DON). Cyclobutrifluram, a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor devised by Syngenta, has immense potential to control both nematodes and Fusarium diseases. However, its efficacy in combating Fusarium species, its ability to prevent and reverse the detrimental effects of FCR, and its impact on the production of DON by F. pseudograminearum are yet to be fully ascertained. RESULTS Cyclobutrifluram exhibited substantial inhibitory activity against Fusarium species, with half-maximal effective concentration values ranging from 0.0021-0.0647 μg mL-1 . It demonstrated significant inhibitory activity toward three developmental stages of F. pseudograminearum, F. graminearum and F. asiaticum. Furthermore, cyclobutrifluram showed both protective and curative activities against FCR and was rapidly absorbed by roots and transported to wheat stems and leaves. Cyclobutrifluram could also decrease DON production by F. pseudograminearum. CONCLUSION This investigation has revealed the potential of cyclobutrifluram as a formidable candidate fungicide, particularly in its ability to effectively combat FCR and other Fusarium-related ailments. This novel compound has exceptional pathogen-fighting capabilities, coupled with remarkable systemic translocation properties and a notable ability to reduce the production of DON. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Fusarium graminearum is an important fungal pathogen causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat and other cereal crops worldwide. Due to lack of resistant wheat cultivars, FHB control mainly relies on application of chemical fungicides. Both fludioxonil (a phenylpyrrole compound) and phenamacril (a cyanoacrylate fungicide) have been registered for controlling FHB in China, however, fludioxonil-resistant isolates of F. graminearum have been detected in field. To evaluate the potential risk of dual resistance of F. graminearum to both compounds, fludioxonil and phenamacril dual resistant (DR) mutants of F. graminearum were obtained via fungicide domestication in laboratory. Result showed that resistance of the DR mutants to both fludioxonil and phenamacril were genetically stable after sub-cultured for ten generations or stored at 4 °C for 30 days on fungicide-free PDA. Cross-resistance assay showed that the DR mutants remain sensitive to other groups of fungicides, including carbendazim, tebuconazole, pydiflumetofen, and fluazinam. In addition, the DR mutants exhibited defects in mycelia growth, conidiation, mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) production, and virulence Moreover, the DR mutants displayed increased sensitivity to osmotic stress. Sequencing results showed that amino acid point mutations S217L/T in the myosin I protein is responsible for phenamacril resistance in the DR mutants. Our results indicate that mutations leading to fludioxonil and phenamacril dual resistance could result in fitness cost for F. graminearum. Our results also suggest that the potential risk of F. graminearum developing resistance to both fludioxonil and phenamacril in field could be rather low, which provides scientific guidance in controlling FHB with fludioxonil and phenamacril.

Abstract
Fusarium head blight in wheat is caused by Fusarium graminearum, resulting in significant yield losses and grain contamination with deoxynivalenol (DON), which poses a potential threat to animal health. Cyclobutrifluram, a newly developed succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor, has shown excellent inhibition of Fusarium spp. However, the resistance risk of F. graminearum to cyclobutrifluram and the molecular mechanism of resistance have not been determined. In this study, we established the average EC50 of a range of F. graminearum isolates to cyclobutrifluram to be 0.0110 μg/mL. Six cyclobutrifluram-resistant mutants were obtained using fungicide adaptation. All mutants exhibited impaired fitness relative to their parental isolates. This was evident from measurements of mycelial growth, conidiation, conidial germination, virulence, and DON production. Interestingly, cyclobutrifluram did not seem to affect the DON production of either the sensitive isolates or the resistant mutants. Furthermore, a positive cross-resistance was observed between cyclobutrifluram and pydiflumetofen. These findings suggest that F. graminearum carries a moderate to high risk of developing resistance to cyclobutrifluram. Additionally, point mutations H248Y in FgSdhB and A73V in FgSdhC1 of F. graminearum were observed in the cyclobutrifluram-resistant mutants. Finally, an overexpression transformation assay and molecular docking indicated that FgSdhBH248Y or FgSdhC1A73V could confer resistance of F. graminearum to cyclobutrifluram.

Abstract
Cyclobutrifluram (TYMIRIUM® technology), a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide, is currently being registered by SYNGENTA for controlling Fusarium crown rot (FCR) of wheat in China. The application of 15 or 30 g of active ingredient/100 kg seed of cyclobutrifluram significantly reduced pre-emergence damping-off, discoloration on the stem base and formation of whiteheads caused by FCR. The EC50 values of cyclobutrifluram for 60 isolates of F. pseudograminearum, 30 isolates of F. asiaticum and 30 isolates of F. graminearum ranged from 0.016 to 0.142 mg L-1, 0.010 to 0.041 mg L-1 and 0.012 to 0.059 mg L-1, respectively. One hundred and seven cyclobutrifluram-resistant (CR) mutants were obtained from three Fusarium species isolates, with ten types of mutations identified in Sdh genes. Three Fusarium species isolates exhibited similar resistance mechanisms, with the most prevalent mutations, SdhC1A83V and SdhC1R86K, accounting for 61.68% of mutants. The CR mutants possessed comparable or slightly impaired fitness compared to the corresponding parental isolates. The CR mutants carrying FpSdhBH248Y/Q/D exhibited increased sensitivity to fluopyram. An overall moderate risk of resistance development in three Fusarium species was recommended for cyclobutrifluram.

Abstract
Fungicides are indispensable for high-quality crops, but the rapid emergence and evolution of fungicide resistance have become the most important issues in modern agriculture. Hence, the sustainability and profitability of agricultural production have been challenged due to the limited number of fungicide chemical classes. Resistance to site-specific fungicides has principally been linked to target and non-target site mechanisms. These mechanisms change the structure or expression level, affecting fungicide efficacy and resulting in different and varying resistance levels. This review provides background information about fungicide resistance mechanisms and their implications for developing anti-resistance strategies in plant pathogens. Here, our purpose was to review changes at the target and non-target sites of quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides, methyl-benzimidazole carbamate (MBC) fungicides, demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides, and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides and to evaluate if they may also be associated with a fitness cost on crop pathogen populations. The current knowledge suggests that understanding fungicide resistance mechanisms can facilitate resistance monitoring and assist in developing anti-resistance strategies and new fungicide molecules to help solve this issue. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Discovery of novel structural models is extremely important in agrochemical innovation. Scaffold hopping was conducted, and 16 kinds of novel models were synthesized and biologically evaluated. Oxazolyl-oxazoline 25 showed a promising in vitro potential against Fusarium graminearum with EC50 value of 18.25 μM, which was 2.4 times more potent than that of carbendazim (EC50 = 43.06 μM). The antifungal structure-activity relationship (SAR) revealed that compound 25am had the most promising antifungal activity against F. graminearum, with an EC50 value of 13.46 μM, which was 3.2 more potent than that of carbendazim. Different from carbendazim, the candidate 25am could form five hydrogen bonds with the amino acid residues in β-tubulin in the molecular docking and could effectively inhibit the carbendazim-resistant F. graminearum strain. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that compound 25am induced the mycelia of F. graminearum slight collapse. This work suggests that compound 25am should be prioritized for further evaluation for new antifungal agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fusarium pseudograminearum is one of the dominant pathogens of Fusarium crown rot (FCR) worldwide. Unfortunately, no fungicides have yet been registered for the control of FCR in wheat in China. Pydiflumetofen, a new-generation succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor, exhibits excellent inhibitory activity to Fusarium spp. A resistance risk assessment of F. pseudograminearum to pydiflumetofen and the resistance mechanism involved have not yet been investigated. RESULTS The median effective concentration (EC50 ) value of 103 F. pseudograminearum isolates to pydiflumetofen was 0.0162 μg mL-1 , and the sensitivity exhibited a unimodal distribution. Four resistant mutants were generated by fungicide adaption, which possessed similar or impaired fitness compared to corresponding parental isolates based on the results of mycelial growth, conidiation, conidium germination rate, and virulence determination. Pydiflumetofen showed strong positive cross-resistance with cyclobutrifluram and fluopyram but no cross-resistance with carbendazim, phenamacril, tebuconazole, fludioxonil, or pyraclostrobin. Sequence alignment revealed that pydiflumetofen-resistant F. pseudograminearum mutants had two single-point mutations of A83V or R86K in FpSdhC1 . Molecular docking further confirmed that point mutation of A83V or R86K in FpSdhC1 could confer resistance of F. pseudograminearum to pydiflumetofen. CONCLUSION Fusarium pseudograminearum shows an overall moderate risk of developing resistance to pydiflumetofen, and point mutation FpSdhC1 A83V or FpSdhC1 R86K could confer pydiflumetofen resistance in F. pseudograminearum. This study provided vital data for monitoring the emergence of resistance and developing resistance management strategies for pydiflumetofen. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Rice bakaenii disease (RBD) is a widespread and devastating disease mainly caused by Fusarium fujikuroi. Pydiflumetofen (Pyd) is a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) with strong inhibitory activity against F. fujikuroi, but the mechanism of resistance to Pyd has not been well studied for this pathogen. Through fungicide adaption, a total of 12 Pyd-resistant mutants were obtained and the resistance level could be divided into three categories of high resistance (HR), moderate resistance (MR), and low resistance (LR) with resistance factors (RF) of 184.04-672.90, 12.63-42.49, and <10, respectively. Seven genotypes of point mutations in FfSdh genes (FfSdhBH248L, FfSdhBH248D, FfSdhBH248Y, FfSdhC2A83V, FfSdhC2H144Y, FfSdhDS106F, and FfSdhDE166K) were found in these mutants, among which genotype FfSdhBH248L and FfSdhC2A83V mutants showed HR, genotype FfSdhBH248D, FfSdhBH248Y, FfSdhC2H144Y, and FfSdhDE166K mutants showed MR, and genotype FfSdhDS106F mutants showed LR. Moreover, all the substitutions of amino acid point mutations including FfSdhBH248L/D/Y, FfSdhC2A83V,H144Y, and FfSdhDS106F,E166K conferring resistance to Pyd in F. fujikuroi were verified by protoplast transformation. Additionally, a positive cross-resistance was detected between Pyd and another SDHI fungicide penflufen, while no cross-resistance was detected between Pyd and phenamacril, prochloraz, azoxystrobin, carbendazim, or fludioxonil. Although pathogenicity of the mutants was increased compared with that of the wild-type parental strains, the mycelial growth rate and spore production levels of the resistant mutants were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), indicating significant fitness cost of resistance to Pyd in F. fujikuroi. Taken together, the risk of resistance to Pyd in F. fujikuroi might be moderate, and appropriate precautions against resistance development in natural populations should be taken into account when Pyd is used for the control of RBD.

Abstract
Fusarium graminearum is the main causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), a destructive disease in cereal crops worldwide. Resistance to fludioxonil has been reported in F. graminearum in the field, but its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, 152 fludioxonil-resistant (FR) mutants of F. graminearum were obtained by selection in vitro. The FR strains exhibited dramatically impaired fitness, but only 7 of the 13 analyzed strains possessed mutations in genes previously reported to underlie fludioxonil resistance. Comparison between the FR-132 strain and its parental strain PH-1 using whole genome sequencing revealed no mutations between them, but transcriptome analysis, after the strains were treated with 0.5 μg/mL fludioxonil, revealed 2778 differently expressed genes (DEGs) mapped to 96 KEGG pathways. Investigation of DEGs in the MAPK pathway showed that overexpression of the tyrosine protein phosphatase FgPtp3, but not FgPtp2, enhanced fludioxonil resistance. Further analysis found that FgPtp3 interacted directly with FgHog1 to regulate the phosphorylation of Hog1, and overexpressed FgPtp3 in PH-1 could significantly suppress the phosphorylation of FgHog1 and hinder signal transmission of the HOG-MAPK pathway. Overall, FgPtp3 plays a significant role in regulating fludioxonil resistance in F. graminearum.

Abstract
Fusarium crown rot (FCR), caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is one of the most important diseases impacting wheat production in the Huanghuai region, the most important wheat-growing region of China. The current study found that the SDHI fungicide pydiflumetofen, which was recently developed by Syngenta Crop Protection, provided effective control of 67 wild-type F. pseudograminearum isolates in potato dextrose agar, with an average EC50 value of 0.060 ± 0.0098 μg/ml (SE). Further investigation revealed that the risk of fungicide resistance in pydiflumetofen was medium to high. Four F. pseudograminearum mutants generated by repeated exposure to pydiflumetofen under laboratory conditions indicated that pydiflumetofen resistance was associated with fitness penalties. Mutants exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) reduced sporulation in mung bean broth and significantly (P < 0.05) reduced pathogenicity in wheat seedlings. Sequence analysis indicated that the observed pydiflumetofen resistance of the mutants was likely associated with amino acid changes in the different subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase target protein, including R18L and V160M substitutions in the FpSdhA sequence; D69V, D147G, and C257R in FpSdhB; and W78R in FpSdhC. This study found no evidence of cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and the alternative fungicides tebuconazole, fludioxonil, carbendazim, or fluazinam, which all have distinct modes of action and could therefore be used in combination or rotation with pydiflumetofen to reduce the risk of resistance emerging in the field. Taken together, these results indicate that pydiflumetofen has potential as a novel fungicide for the control of FCR caused by F. pseudograminearum and could therefore be of great significance in ensuring high and stable wheat yields in China.

Abstract
The necrotrophic pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has a global distribution and a wide host range, making it one of the most damaging and economically important of all plant pathogens. The current study found that fluxapyroxad, a typical succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide, had a strong inhibitory effect against S. sclerotiorum, with mean effective concentration for 50% inhibition (EC50) values ranging from 0.021 to 0.095 µg/ml. Further investigation of five highly resistant S. sclerotiorum mutants, with EC50 values of 12.37 to 31.36 µg/ml, found that fluxapyroxad resistance was accompanied by a certain cost to fitness. All of the mutants were found to have significantly (P < 0.05) reduced mycelial growth and altered sclerotia production in artificial culture, as well as reduced pathogenicity, compared with wild-type isolates, with one mutant completely losing the capacity to infect detached soybean leaves. Sequence analysis demonstrated that four of the mutants had point mutations leading to amino acid changes in the SsSdhB subunit of the fungicide target protein succinate dehydrogenase. In addition, two of the mutants were also found to have amino acid changes in the predicted sequence of their SsSdhD subunit, while the fifth mutant had no changes in any of its SsSdh sequences, indicating that an alternative mechanism might be responsible for the observed resistance in this mutant. No cross-resistance was found between fluxapyroxad and any of the other fungicides tested, including tebuconazole, prochloraz, dimethachlone, carbendazim, procymidone, pyraclostrobin, boscalid, fluazinam, fludioxonil, and cyprodinil, which indicates that fluxapyroxad has great potential as an alternative method of control for the Sclerotinia stem rot caused by S. sclerotiorum, and which could provide ongoing protection to the soybean fields of China.

Abstract
Fusarium fujikuroi is one of the dominant phytopathogenic fungi causing rice bakanae disease worldwide. Cyclobutrifluram is a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI), which shows strong inhibitory activity against F. fujikuroi. The baseline sensitivity of 112 F. fujikuroi to cyclobutrifluram was determinated with a mean EC50 value of 0.025 μg/mL. A total of 17 resistant mutants were obtained by fungicide adaptation and displayed equal or slightly weaker fitness than parental isolates, which suggests that the resistance risk of F. fujikuroi to cyclobutrifluram is medium. A positive cross-resistance was detected between cyclobutrifluram and fluopyram. The amino acid substitutions H248L/Y of FfSdhB and G80R or A83V of FfSdhC2 conferred cyclobutrifluram resistance in F. fujikuroi, which was validated by molecular docking and protoplast transformation. The results indicate that the affinity between cyclobutrifluram and FfSdhs obviously decreased after point mutations, causing the resistance of F. fujikuroi.

Abstract
Cyclobutrifluram is a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) developed by Syngenta and helps to inhibit Fusarium pseudograminearum. Here, the potential for cyclobutrifluram resistance in F. pseudograminearum and the resistance mechanism involved were evaluated. Baseline sensitivity of F. pseudograminearum to cyclobutrifluram was determined with a mean EC50 value of 0.0248 μg/mL. Fungicide adaption generated five resistant mutants, which possess a comparable or a slightly impaired fitness compared to corresponding parental isolates. This indicates that the resistance risk of F. pseudograminearum to cyclobutrifluram might be moderate. Cyclobutrifluram-resistant isolates also demonstrated resistance to pydiflumetofen but sensitivity to carbendazim, phenamacril, tebuconazole, fludioxonil, or pyraclostrobin. Additionally, point mutations H248Y in FpSdhB and A83V or R86K in FpSdhC1 were found in cyclobutrifluram-resistant F. pseudograminearum mutants. Molecular docking and overexpression transformation assay revealed that FpSdhBH248Y and FpSdhC1A83V or FpSdhC1R86K confer the resistance of F. pseudograminearum to cyclobutrifluram.

Abstract
Brown rot disease broke out in stone fruit orchards of Fujian, China in 2019, despite pre-harvest application of methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC). To determine the reason, a total of 44 Monilinia fructicola strains were collected from nectarine, plum and peach fruits in this study, among which 79.5% strains were resistant to thiophanate-methyl, indicated by discriminatory dose of 5 μg/mL. The resistance of these strains was confirmed by treating detached peach fruit with label rates of formulated thiophanate-methyl which only completely inhibit infection of the sensitive strains, but not the resistant strains. Further analysis of the mechanism of MBC resistance revealed that all resistant strains carry a H6Y mutation in β-tubulin protein Tub2, which was only reported previously in the M. fructicola strains from California, USA, and do not display obvious fitness penalties, as no significant defects in mycelial growth rate, sporulation, conidia germination, aggressiveness on detached peach fruit and temperature sensitivity was detected. In addition, we found that diethofencarb, the agent for managing MBC-resistance strains, was unable to inhibit growth of the H6Y strains. Taken together, our study, for the first time, identified a mutation form of H6Y in the β-tubulin protein of M. fructicola in China, rendering the strains wide resistance to thiophanate-methyl. This mechanism of M. fructicola gaining resistance to MBC fungicides needs to be fully considered, when designing management strategies to control brown rot disease in stone fruit orchards.
