Liu H, Lee G, Sang H. Exploring SDHI fungicide resistance in Botrytis cinerea through genetic transformation system and AlphaFold model-based molecular docking. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024. [PMID: 39054739 DOI: 10.1002/ps.8328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is one of the most serious diseases affecting strawberry. Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides have been used for more than a decade to control the disease. Monitoring resistance and improving in-depth understanding of resistance mechanisms are essential for the control of B. cinerea. RESULTS In this study, resistance monitoring of a SDHI fungicide boscalid was conducted on B. cinerea isolated from strawberries in Korea during 2020 and 2021, with resistance rates of 76.92% and 72.25%, respectively. In resistant strains, mutations P225F/H and H272R were found in SdhB, with P225F representing the dominant mutation type. Simultaneous mutations G85A, I93V, M158V, and V168I in SdhC were detected in 54.84% of sensitive strains. Sensitivity profiles of different Sdh genotypes of B. cinerea strains to six SDHIs were determined in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the mutation(s) were genetically validated through in situ SdhB (SdhC) expression. Docking assays between SDHIs and AlphaFold model-based Sdh complexes revealed generally consistent patterns with their in vitro phenotypes. CONCLUSION Resistance of B. cinerea to SDHI fungicide on strawberry was systematically investigated in this study. Deciphering of SDHI resistance through the genetic transformation system and AlphaFold model-based molecular docking will provide valuable insights into other target site-based fungicide resistance in fungal pathogens. © 2024 The Author(s).

Polymorphisms at amino acid positions 85 and 86 in succinate dehydrogenase subunit C of Colletotrichum siamense: Implications for fitness and intrinsic sensitivity to SDHI fungicides. Fungal Genet Biol 2023; 169:103844.

Abstract
Among succinate dehydrogenase inhibiter (SDHI) fungicides, penthiopyrad and benzovindiflupyr particularly inhibit Colletotrichum. Studying SDH amino acid polymorphism in Colletotrichum, along with its fungicide binding sites, is key to understanding their mechanisms of action. This study explores the SDH amino acid polymorphisms in Colletotrichum siamense strains from rubber trees in China and their interaction with SDHI fungicides, specifically penthiopyrad and benzovindiflupyr. Sequencing revealed most polymorphisms were in the SDHC subunit, particularly at positions 85 and 86, which are key to penthiopyrad resistance. Among 33 isolates, 33.3 % exhibited a substitution at position 85, and 9 % at position 86. A strain with W85L and T86N substitutions in SDHC showed reduced SDH activity, ATP content, mycelial growth, and virulence, and decreased sensitivity to penthiopyrad but not benzovindiflupyr. Molecular docking with Alphafold2 modeling suggested distinct binding modes of the two fungicides to C. siamense SDH. These findings underscore the importance of SDHC polymorphisms in C. siamense's fitness and sensitivity to SDHIs, enhancing our understanding of pathogen-SDHI interactions and aiding the development of novel SDHI fungicides.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are keystone synthetic fungicides used to manage Botrytis cinerea in several hosts. In this study, we investigated the cross-resistance between five new SDHIs (pyraziflumid, isofetamid, benzovindiflupyr, fluxapyroxad, and pydiflumetofen) with commonly used SDHIs boscalid and fluopyram. Different mutations were detected in the sdhB gene in B. cinerea collected from Michigan grapes, and their frequency and EC50 value were determined. Among 216 B. cinerea boscalid-resistant isolates, five different mutations were detected, including H272R/Y, P225F/H, and N230I, at frequencies of 82.6, 4.3, 11.5, 0.4, and 5.3%, respectively. Five isolates of each genotype were used to screen the cross-resistance of the SDHIs. We classified the resistance profile of our mutants into five patterns. We report that all tested mutants were sensitive to benzovindiflupyr, indicating that it can be used as an effective fungicide against all B. cinerea mutants identified in this study. In addition, fluopyram, pydiflumetofen, and isofetamid can provide effective control according to which type of mutation is present in the field. We also developed and compared two molecular diagnostic tools, rhAMP and TaqMan assays, for rapid detection of SDHI resistance-associated mutants in B. cinerea. We report that the TaqMan assay was more successful than the rhAMP assay in detecting the B. cinerea mutant DNA at ≤10 pg and in a single assay was capable of monitoring two amino acid positions. Our results provide essential information about new SDHIs and provide molecular tools for monitoring SDHI resistance mutations, which will assist in gray mold disease control.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) fungicides are used to control Asian soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi), and the SdhC-I86F mutation is related to pathogen resistance. The objective of this study was to determine whether fitness penalties are associated with SDHI resistance (SdhC-I86F mutation) in P. pachyrhizi populations. Moreover, the study investigated whether the SdhC-I86F mutation remained stable after the fungus propagation both in the absence and presence of fungicide. The populations used in this study presented mutations for all genes analyzed (Cyp51, Cytb, and SdhC), except for a wild-type population (WTSdhC) found with no SdhC-I86F mutation. The frequencies of the SdhC-I86F mutant populations were stable after 36 generations in the absence of fungicide. However, in the case of the WTSdhC population, the SdhC-I86F mutation was further detected after one generation of the fungus in the presence of the SDHI fungicide, according to the results of a detached leaf assay. Three tests were performed to evaluate fitness components and sensitivity to fungicides (half maximal effective concentration). SdhC-I86F mutant populations were more sensitive to osmotic and oxidative stress than the WTSdhC population; however, the sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation was similar for both populations. All mutated populations were less sensitive than the WTSdhC when using SDHI (azoxystrobin + benzovindiflupyr), but more sensitive to mancozeb. The presence of fitness penalties, the mutation stability, and the sensitivity to mancozeb presented by the SdhC-I86F mutant populations can be relevant to the management of the disease in the field.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides have a wide spectrum of fungicidal effects on a variety of fungi causing plant diseases, including Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. However, the consistent use of site-specific SDHI fungicides can result in the development of resistant isolates with mutations in the SDHB, SDHC, or SDHD subunit thereby leading to a rapid decline of fungicide performance. In this study, we found that SDHC was genetically evolved into two isotypes SDHC1 and SDHC2 in S. sclerotiorum but not involved in the sensitivity to SDHI fungicides. In addition, we demonstrated that the A11V substitution in SDHB was not involved in the resistance of S. sclerotiorum to boscalid, and this substitution widely emerged in the field populations. Meanwhile, the P226L substitution in SDHB was demonstrated to confer boscalid resistance in S. sclerotiorum. The result of cross-resistance showed that the SDHB-P226L substitution exhibited a positive cross-resistance between boscalid and carboxin, fluopyram, pydiflumetofen, flubeneteram, pyraziflumid, fluindapyr, or penthiopyrad. Taken together, our results indicated that the P226L substitution in SDHB resulted in the resistance of S. sclerotiorum to SDHI fungicides but suffered from fitness penalty, especially the homozygous mutants conferring the P226L substitution in SDHB.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:1780-1788.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum complex (Fg) is a devastating disease of cereal crops worldwide. The succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor, pydiflumetofen, was registered for management of FHB in China in 2019. Previously, laboratory-induced pydiflumetofen-resistant (PyR) mutants of Fg have been characterized. However, resistance situation of Fg to pydiflumetofen in the field remains largely unknown. RESULTS After screening 6468 isolates of Fg from various regions of China, six PyR isolates were identified. All six resistant isolates exhibited no fitness penalties based on mycelial growth, conidiation and virulence. However, no cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and azoxystrobin, tebuconazole or fludioxonil in Fg was detected. Genome-sequencing revealed that all six PyR isolates contained a point mutation A78V in FgSdhC1 (FgSdhC1A78V ). Genetic replacement assay further confirmed that FgSdhC1A78V conferred resistance of Fg to pydiflumetofen. Based on this, a mismatch allele-specific polymerase chain reaction was developed for rapidly detecting the PyR isolates containing the FgSdhC1A78V mutation in Fg. CONCLUSION This is the first time that resistance of Fg to pydiflumetofen in the field was reported and point mutation FgSdhC1A78V conferring resistance of Fg to pydiflumetofen was confirmed. This study provides critical information for monitoring and managing pydiflumetofen resistance in Fg.

Abstract
Fusarium graminearum is one of the phytopathogenic fungi causing cereal fusarium head blight worldwide. Flubeneteram (Flu) is a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) which exhibits strong fungicidal activity against F. graminearum. In this study, four Flu-resistant (FluR) mutants were generated by fungicide domestication from the wildtype strain PH-1. Sequencing alignment results of FgSdh from PH-1 and FluR mutants showed that all the mutations could be categorized into three resistant genotypes. Genotype I had an A-to-T mutation at the -57 bp of the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) of FgSdhC1, while genotypes II and III carried nonsynonymous mutations conferring T77I or R86C in FgSdhC2, respectively. All the mutations conferring the Flu resistance and causing fitness penalty were validated. The genotype I mutant showed high Flu-resistance, while genotype II and III mutants exhibited low Flu resistance. Additionally, all the FluR genotypes showed distinct cross-resistance patterns among the five SDHIs.

Abstract
Gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is a devastating disease that causes significant yield losses in various economically important plants. Fungicide application is one of the main strategies for management of gray mold; however, B. cinerea has developed resistance to various groups of fungicide. In China, benzimidazole-, dicarboximide-, and quinone outside inhibitor-resistant populations of B. cinerea have become dominant. Substitute mutations in fungicide target genes are responsible for resistance in B. cinerea. Based on known resistance mechanisms, molecular methods including loop-mediated isothermal amplification have been developed for rapid detection of resistant isolates of B. cinerea. Because B. cinerea is able to quickly develop resistance to various fungicides, various integrated strategies have been implemented in the last decade, including biological and agricultural practices, to manage fungicide resistance in B. cinerea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fusarium asiaticum is one of predominant pathogens of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in China. Pydiflumetofen (Pyd) is a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) which has been commercialized in China for the controlling of wheat FHB since 2019. In the current study, a risk assessment of the pydiflumetofen-resistance selected in Fusarium asiaticum was investigated. RESULTS One PydMR mutant [resistance factor (RF) < 80] and four PydHR mutants (RF > 3000) were generated by fungicide-taming from 1000 mycelial discs of the wild-type strain 2021. Nucleotide sequences alignment results of FaSdh from the wild-type strain and resistant mutants showed that all the mutations were categorized into three genotypes, i.e. FaSdhBH248Y from PydMR mutant, both FaSdhC1 A64V and FaSdhC1 R67K from PydHR mutants. All the resistant mutants possessed no fitness penalty based on the data of mycelial linear growth, conidiation and virulence. In addition, the FaSdhC1 A64V mutants showed positive cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and boscalid or thifluzamide, but no cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and Y13149 or Y12196, while the FaSdhC1 R67K mutants exhibited positive cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and boscalid, thifluzamide or Y12196, and no cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and Y13149. Furthermore, positive cross-resistance between the five tested SDHIs was detected in the FaSdhBH248Y mutants. CONCLUSION The results suggest a moderate to high resistance risk of F. asiaticum to pydiflumetofen, and provide essential data for monitoring the emergence of resistance and resistance management strategies for pydiflumetofen, which will be useful for scientific application of this fungicide in China.
