Abstract
Watermelon is affected by diseases such as Fusarium wilt, gummy stem blight, and root-knot nematode (RKN). Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) with potential fungicide and nematicide activity provide the opportunity to control multiple diseases with one compound. In this study, we aimed to determine the sensitivity of Meloidogyne incognita race 4 (MI4), Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (FON), and Stagonosporopsis citrulli (SCIT) to existing SDHIs: benzovindiflupyr, fluopyram, cyclobutrifluram, and pydiflumetofen. All SDHIs had fungicidal activity against 19 SCIT isolates in mycelial growth assays, but isolates were most sensitive to pydiflumetofen (median EC50 = 0.41 μg/ml). Most of the 50 FON isolates tested were sensitive to cyclobutrifluram for mycelial growth (median EC50 = 4.04 μg/ml) and conidial germination (median EC50 = 0.2 μg/ml) assays but were not sensitive to fluopyram. MI4 was most sensitive to cyclobutrifluram for egg hatch (mean EC50 = 0.0019 μg/ml) and J2 motility (mean EC50 = 1.16 μg/ml) assays but was not sensitive to pydiflumetofen. Significant positive correlations between the sensitivity of SCIT (mycelial growth) and FON (mycelial growth and conidial germination) for cyclobutrifluram and benzovindiflupyr (SCIT r = 0.88; FON r = 0.7; P < 0.0001) and cyclobutrifluram and pydiflumetofen (SCIT r = 0.83; FON r = 0.67 and 0.77; P < 0.0001) indicate a potential for cross-resistance between these SDHIs for these fungal pathogens. Overall, results suggest that cyclobutrifluram may be used for managing RKN, whereas it should be used judiciously for Fusarium wilt of watermelon and gummy stem blight due to the existence of insensitive isolates to the fungicide.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 201:105884. [PMID: 38685250 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2024.105884] [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: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Botrytis cinerea is one of the most destructive pathogens worldwide. It can damage over 200 crops, resulting in significant yield and quality losses. Cyclobutrifluram, a new generation of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors, exhibits excellent inhibitory activity against B. cinerea. However, the baseline sensitivity and resistance of B. cinerea to cyclobutrifluram remains poorly understood. This study was designed to monitor the sensitivity frequency distribution, assess the resistance risk, and clarify the resistance mechanism of B. cinerea to cyclobutrifluram. The baseline sensitivity of B. cinerea isolates to cyclobutrifluram was 0.89 μg/mL. Cyclobutrifluram-resistant B. cinerea populations are present in the field. Six resistant B. cinerea isolates investigated in this study possessed enhanced compound fitness index compared to the sensitive isolates according to mycelial growth, mycelial dry weight, conidiation, conidial germination rate, and pathogenicity. Cyclobutrifluram exhibited no cross-resistance with tebuconazole, fludioxonil, cyprodinil, or iprodione. Sequence alignment revealed that BcSDHB from cyclobutrifluram-resistant B. cinerea isolates had three single substitutions (P225F, N230I, or H272R). Molecular docking verified that these mutations in BcSDHB conferred cyclobutrifluram resistance in B. cinerea. In conclusion, the resistance risk of B. cinerea to cyclobutrifluram is high, and the point mutations in BcSDHB (P225F, N230I, or H272R) confer cyclobutrifluram resistance in B. cinerea. This study provided important insights into cyclobutrifluram resistance in B. cinerea and offered valuable information for monitoring and managing cyclobutrifluram resistance in the future.

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
To find novel nematicides, we screened the nematicidal activity of compounds in our laboratory compound library. Interestingly, the compound N-((1R,2R)-2-(2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)cyclopropyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide (W3) showed a broad spectrum and excellent nematicidal activity. The LC50 values of compound W3 against second-stage juveniles of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (B. xylophilus), Aphelenchoides besseyi, and Ditylenchus destructor are 1.30, 1.63, and 0.72 mg/L, respectively. Nematicidal activities of compound W3 against second-stage juveniles of Meloidogyne incognita were 87.66% at 100 mg/L. Meanwhile, compound W3 can not only observably inhibit the feeding, reproduction, and egg hatching of B. xylophilus but can also effectively promote the oxidative stress adverse reactions of nematodes and cause intestinal damage. Compound W3 can promote the production of MDA and inhibit the activities of defense enzymes SOD and GST in B. xylophilus. Compound W3 can affect the transcription of genes involved in regulating the tricarboxylic acid cycle in nematodes, resulting in weakened nematode respiration and reduced nematode activity and even death. In addition, compound W3 had good inhibitory activity against five pathogenic fungi. Among them, the EC50 of compound W3 against Fusarium graminearum was 8.4 mg/L. In the future, we will devote ourselves to the toxicological and structural optimization research of the candidate nematicide W3.

Abstract
Lychee downy blight (LDB), a common disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora litchii, poses a significant threat to both pre- and post-harvest stages, leading to substantial economic losses. Famoxadone, a quinone outside inhibitor fungicide, was registered for controlling LDB in China in 2002. However, limited information is available regarding the risk, mechanism, and impact on lychee fruit quality associated with famoxadone resistance. In this study, we determined the sensitivity of 133 P. litchii isolates to famoxadone, yielding a mean EC50 value of 0.46 ± 0.21 μg/mL. Through fungicide adaption, we derived resistant mutants with M124I and Y131C substitutions in PlCyt b (Cytochrome b in P. litchii) from wild-type isolates. In vitro assessments revealed that the fitness of the resistant mutants was significantly lower compared to the parental isolates. These laboratory findings demonstrate a moderate resistance risk of P. litchii to famoxadone. Molecular docking analyses indicated that the M124I and Y131C alterations disrupted hydrogen bonds and weakened the binding energy between famoxadone and PlCyt b. This indicates that the M124I and Y131C changes do indeed confer famoxadone resistance in P. litchii. Infection caused by famoxadone-resistant mutants exhibited a decreased or comparable impact on the characteristic traits of lychee fruit compared to the sensitive isolate. For future detection of famoxadone-resistant strains, AS-PCR primers were designed based on the M124I substitution.

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
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
Mefentrifluconazole, a triazole fungicide, exhibits remarkable efficacy in combating Fusarium spp. The mean EC50 value of mefentrifluconazole against 124 isolates of Fusarium pseudograminearum was determined to be 1.06 μg/mL in this study. Fungicide taming produced five mefentrifluconazole-resistant mutants with resistance factors ranging from 19.21 to 111.34. Compared to the original parental isolates, the fitness of three resistant mutants was much lower, while the remaining two mutants displayed enhanced survival fitness. There was evidence of positive cross-resistance between tebuconazole and mefentrifluconazole. Mefentrifluconazole resistance in F. pseudograminearum can be conferred by FpCYP51BL144F, which was identified in four mutants according to molecular docking and site-directed transformation experiments. Overexpression of FpCYP51s was also detected in the resistant mutants. In conclusion, mefentrifluconazole has a low-to-medium resistance risk in F. pseudograminearum, and the L144F mutation in FpCYP51B and the increased expression level of FpCYP51s may be responsible for mefentrifluconazole resistance in F. pseudograminearum.

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.
