Abstract
BACKGROUND Sclerotium rolfsii is a destructive soil-borne fungal pathogen which is distributed worldwide. In previous study, the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide benzovindiflupyr has been identified for its great antifungal activity against Sclerotium rolfsii. This study is aimed to investigate the resistance risk and mechanism of benzovindiflupyr in Sclerotium rolfsii. RESULTS Eight stable benzovindiflupyr-resistant isolates were generated by fungicide adaptation. Although the obtained eight resistant isolates have a stronger pathogenicity than the parental sensitive isolate, they have a fitness penalty in the mycelial growth and sclerotia formation compared to the parental isolate. A positive cross-resistance existed in the resistant isolates between benzovindiflupyr and thifluzamide, carboxin, boscalid and isopyrazam. Three-point mutations, including SdhBN180D, SdhCQ68E and SdhDH103Y, were identified in the benzovindiflupyr-resistant isolates. However, molecular docking analysis indicated that only SdhDH103Y could influence the sensitivity of Sclerotium rolfsii to benzovindiflupyr. After mycelial co-incubation of resistant isolates and the sensitive isolate, resistance genes may be transmitted to the sensitive isolate. The in vivo efficacy of benzovindiflupyr and thifluzamide against benzovindiflupyr-resistant isolates was a little lower than that against the sensitive isolate but with no significant difference. CONCLUSION The results suggested a low to medium resistance risk of Sclerotium rolfsii to benzovindiflupyr. However, once resistance occurs, it is possible to spread in the population of Sclerotium rolfsii. This study is helpful to understanding the risk and mechanism of resistance to benzovindiflupyr in multinucleate pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

İnak E, De Rouck S, Demirci B, Dermauw W, Geibel S, Van Leeuwen T. A novel target-site mutation (H146Q) outside the ubiquinone binding site of succinate dehydrogenase confers high levels of resistance to cyflumetofen and pyflubumide in Tetranychus urticae. INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 170:104127.

Abstract
Mitochondrial electron transfer inhibitors at complex II (METI-II), also referred to as succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHI), represent a recently developed class of acaricides encompassing cyflumetofen, cyenopyrafen, pyflubumide and cyetpyrafen. Despite their novelty, resistance has already developed in the target pest, Tetranychus urticae. In this study a new mutation, H146Q in a highly conserved region of subunit B of complex II, was identified in a T. urticae population resistant to all METI-IIs. In contrast to previously described mutations, H146Q is located outside the ubiquinone binding site of complex II. Marker-assisted backcrossing of this mutation in a susceptible genetic background validated its association with resistance to cyflumetofen and pyflubumide, but not cyenopyrafen or cyetpyrafen. Biochemical assays and the construction of inhibition curves with isolated mitochondria corroborated this selectivity. In addition, phenotypic effects of H146Q, together with the previously described H258L, were further examined via CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Although both mutations were successfully introduced into a susceptible T. urticae population, the H146Q gene editing event was only recovered in individuals already harboring the I260V mutation, known to confer resistance towards cyflumetofen. The combination of H146Q + I260V conferred high resistance levels to all METI-II acaricides with LC50 values over 5000 mg a.i./L for cyflumetofen and pyflubumide. Similarly, the introduction of H258L via gene editing resulted in high resistance levels to all tested acaricides, with extreme LC50 values (>5000 mg a.i./L) for cyenopyrafen and cyetpyrafen, but lower resistance levels for pyflubumide and cyflumetofen. Together, these findings indicate that different mutations result in a different cross-resistance spectrum, probably also reflecting subtle differences in the binding mode of complex II acaricides.

Abstract
Plant pathogens are highly adaptable, and have evolved to overcome control measures including multiple classes of fungicides. More effective management requires a thorough understanding of the evolutionary drivers leading to resistance. Experimental evolution can be used to investigate evolutionary processes over a compressed timescale. For fungicide resistance, applications include predicting resistance ahead of its emergence in the field, testing potential outcomes under multiple different fungicide usage scenarios or comparing resistance management strategies. This review considers different experimental approaches to in vitro selection, and their suitability for addressing different questions relating to fungicide resistance. When aiming to predict the evolution of new variants, mutational supply is especially important. When assessing the relative fitness of different variants under fungicide selection, growth conditions such as temperature may affect the results as well as fungicide choice and dose. Other considerations include population size, transfer interval, competition between genotypes and pathogen reproductive mode. However, resistance evolution in field populations has proven to be less repeatable for some fungicide classes than others. Therefore, even with optimal experimental design, in some cases the most accurate prediction from experimental evolution may be that the exact evolutionary trajectory of resistance will be unpredictable.

Abstract
Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea severely threatens the yield of ginseng (Panax ginseng). Various categories of fungicides have been utilized to control gray mold on this crop. In this study, the resistance of 102 isolates of B. cinerea from 11 commercial ginseng-growing regions in China to fungicides was examined. A total of 32.4% were resistant to boscalid, with EC50 values that ranged from 12.26 to 235.87 μg/ml, and 94.1% were resistant to pyraclostrobin, with EC50 values that ranged from 5.88 to 487.72 μg/ml. Except for sdhA and sdhD, the amino acid substitutions of P225F, P225L, N230I, H272Y, and H272R in the sdhB subunit from 24 (4 sensitive [S] and 20 resistant [R]), 5 (1 S and 4 R), 1 (S), 1 (R), and 8 (4 S and 4 R) strains, respectively, and the concurrent amino acid substitutions of G85A + I93V + M158V + V168I in the sdhC subunit from 5 (4 S and 1 R) strains were identified. A G143A substitution in cytochrome b was identified in 96 isolates that were resistant to pyraclostrobin and three that were sensitive to it. The Bcbi-143/144 intron was identified in the other three isolates sensitive to pyraclostrobin, but it was absent in the isolates that harbored the G143A mutation. The results showed that the populations of B. cinerea on ginseng have developed strong resistance to pyraclostrobin. Therefore, it is not recommended to continue using this fungicide to control gray mold on P. ginseng. Boscalid is still effective against most isolates. However, to prevent fungicide resistance, it is recommended to use a mixture of boscalid with other categories of fungicides.

Abstract
Sustainable crop protection is vital for food security, yet it is under threat due to the adaptation of a diverse and evolving pathogen population. Resistance can be managed by maximising the diversity of selection pressure through dose variation and the spatial and temporal combination of active ingredients. This study explores the interplay between operational drivers for maximising the sustainability of management strategies in relation to the resistance status of fungal populations. We applied an experimental evolution approach to three artificial populations of Zymoseptoria tritici, an economically significant wheat pathogen, each differing in initial resistance status. Our findings reveal that diversified selection pressure curtails the selection of resistance in naïve populations and those with low frequencies of single resistance. Increasing the number of modes of action most effectively delays resistance development, surpassing the increase in the number of fungicides, fungicide choice based on resistance risk, and temporal variation in fungicide exposure. However, this approach favours generalism in the evolved populations. The prior presence of multiple resistant isolates and their subsequent selection in populations override the effects of diversity in management strategies, thereby invalidating any universal ranking. Therefore, the initial resistance composition must be specifically considered in sustainable resistance management to address real-world field situations.

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
BACKGROUND The acaricides cyflumetofen, cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide inhibit the mitochondrial electron transport chain at complex II [succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex]. A target site mutation H258Y was recently discovered in a resistant strain of the spider mite pest Tetranychus urticae. H258Y causes strong cross-resistance between cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide, but not cyflumetofen. In fungal pests, fitness costs associated with substitutions at the corresponding H258 position that confer resistance to fungicidal SDH inhibitors have not been uncovered. Here, we used H258 and Y258 near-isogenic lines of T. urticae to quantify potential pleiotropic fitness effects on mite physiology. RESULTS The H258Y mutation was not associated with consistent significant changes of single generation life history traits and fertility life table parameters. In contrast, proportional Sanger sequencing and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction showed that the frequency of the resistant Y258 allele decreased when replicated 50:50 Y258:H258 experimentally evolving populations were maintained in an acaricide-free environment for approximately 12 generations. Using in vitro assays with mitochondrial extracts from resistant (Y258) and susceptible (H258) lines, we identified a significantly reduced SDH activity (48% lower activity) and a slightly enhanced combined complex I and III activity (18% higher activity) in the Y258 lines. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the H258Y mutation is associated with a high fitness cost in the spider mite T. urticae. Importantly, while it is the most common approach, it is clear that only comparing life history traits and life table fecundity does not allow to reliably estimate fitness costs of target site mutations in natural pest populations. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Isopyrazam (IPZ) is one of the broad-spectrum succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicides (SDHIs). Although the potential bio-toxicity of SDHIs has been reported hourly, the specific effects focused on the cardiovascular system have remained unclear and piecemeal. Thus, we chose IPZ as a representative to observe the cardiovascular toxicity of SDHIs in zebrafish. Two types of transgenic zebrafish, Tg (cmlc2:GFP) and Tg (flk1:GFP) were used in this study. Healthy embryos at 6 hpf were exposed to IPZ solutions. The statistical data including survival rate, hatching rate, malformed rate, and morphological and functional parameters of the cardiovascular system at 48 hpf and 72 hpf demonstrated that IPZ could cause abnormalities and cardiovascular defects such as spinal curvature, dysmotility, pericardial edema, pericardial hemorrhage, and slowed heart rate, etc. At the same time, the activity of enzymes related to oxidative stress was altered with IPZ. Our results revealed that IPZ-induced cardiovascular toxicity and oxidative stress might be one of the underlying toxic mechanisms.

Abstract
Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is a serious threat to wheat production, and the application of fungicides is one of the most important means for controlling the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide, flubeneteram, on reducing stripe rust. The baseline sensitivity of 173 Pst isolates from 13 provinces of China to flubeneteram was determined. Flubeneteram displayed significant effects on inhibiting SDH enzymes of Pst. Histological observations showed that after flubeneteram application, the formation and development of Pst hyphae and haustoria were significantly inhibited, and the structures were destroyed. Flubeneteram primed wheat for salicylic acid-induced defenses via upregulating pathogenesis-related genes (PR1 and PR2). Altogether, our study is the first to provide evidence that flubeneteram induces wheat defense against Pst infection. The findings indicate that flubeneteram could be an effective fungicide for managing stripe rust.

Zhou F, Zhou HH, Han AH, Guo KY, Liu TC, Wu YB, Hu HY, Li CW. Mechanism of Pydiflumetofen Resistance in Fusarium graminearum in China. J Fungi (Basel) 2022; 9:jof9010062. [PMID: 36675883 PMCID: PMC9866472 DOI: 10.3390/jof9010062] [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: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB), which is primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a widespread and devastating disease of wheat. In the absence of resistant varieties, the control of FHB relies heavily on the application of fungicides, and the new generation SDHI fungicide, pydiflumetofen, has recently been registered in China for the control of FHB in wheat. The current study explored three genetically stable, highly resistant laboratory mutants (S2-4-2R, S27-3R, and S28-2R, with EC50 values of 25.10, 28.57, and 19.22 μg/mL, respectively) to investigate the potential risks associated with pydiflumetofen resistance. Although the mycelial growth of the mutants differed little compared to their parental isolates, the study found that the resistant mutants exhibited significantly reduced (p < 0.05) levels of sporulation and pathogenicity, which suggests a significant fitness cost associated with pydiflumetofen resistance in F. graminearum. Sequence analysis of the Sdh target protein identified numerous amino acid substitutions in the predicted sequences of the four subunits: FgSdhA, FgSdhB, FgSdhC, and FgSdhD. Indeed, the mutants were found to have a series of substitution in multiple subunits such that all three exhibited five identical changes, including Y182F in the FgSdhA subunit; H53Q, C90S, and A94V in FgSdhB; and S31F in FgSdhC. In addition, gene expression analysis revealed that all of the FgSdh genes had significantly altered expression (p < 0.05), particularly FgSdhA and FgdhC, which exhibited remarkably low levels of expression. However, the study found no evidence of cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and tebuconazole, fludioxonil, prochloraz, fluazinam, carbendazim, pyraclostrobin, or difenoconazole, which indicates that these fungicides, either in rotation or combination with pydiflumetofen, could mitigate the risk of resistance emerging and provide ongoing control of FHB to ensure high and stable wheat yields.

Shifting sensitivity of septoria tritici blotch compromises field performance and yield of main fungicides in Europe. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1060428. [PMID: 36483948 PMCID: PMC9723467 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.1060428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Septoria tritici blotch (STB; Zymoseptoria tritici) is a severe leaf disease on wheat in Northern Europe. Fungicide resistance in the populations of Z. tritici is increasingly challenging future control options. Twenty-five field trials were carried out in nine countries across Europe from 2019 to 2021 to investigate the efficacy of specific DMI and SDHI fungicides against STB. During the test period, two single DMIs (prothioconazole and mefentrifluconazole) and four different SDHIs (fluxapyroxad, bixafen, benzovindiflupyr and fluopyram) along with different co-formulations of DMIs and SDHIs applied at flag leaf emergence were tested. Across all countries, significant differences in azole performances against STB were seen; prothioconazole was outperformed in all countries by mefentrifluconazole. The effects also varied substantially between the SDHIs, with fluxapyroxad providing the best efficacy overall, while the performance of fluopyram was inferior to other SDHIs. In Ireland and the UK, the efficacy of SDHIs was significantly lower compared with results from continental Europe. This reduction in performances from both DMIs and SDHIs was reflected in yield responses and also linked to decreased sensitivity of Z. tritici isolates measured as EC50 values. A clear and significant gradient in EC50 values was seen across Europe. The lower sensitivity to SDHIs in Ireland and the UK was coincident with the prevalence of SDH-C-alterations T79N, N86S, and sporadically of H152R. The isolates' sensitivity to SDHIs showed a clear cross-resistance between fluxapyroxad, bixafen, benzovindiflupyr and fluopyram, although the links with the latter were less apparent. Co-formulations of DMIs + SDHIs performed well in all trials conducted in 2021. Only minor differences were seen between fluxapyroxad + mefentrifluconazole and bixafen + fluopyram + prothioconazole; the combination of benzovindiflupyr + prothioconazole gave an inferior performance at some sites. Fenpicoxamid performed in line with the most effective co-formulations. This investigation shows a clear link between reduced field efficacy by solo SDHIs as a result of increasing problems with sensitivity shifting and the selection of several SDH-C mutations. The presented data stress the need to practice anti-resistance strategies to delay further erosion of fungicide efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rice (Oryza sativa) is an important cereal crop around the world, and has constantly been threaten by the most destructive fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Pydiflumetofen, a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI), is currently being used for controlling various fungal diseases. However, the potential resistance risk of M. oryzae to pydiflumetofen has remained unclear to date, and finding the resistance mechanism is critical for the usage of this fungicide. RESULTS The M. oryzae strain Guy11 is sensitive to pydiflumetofen, with EC50 value of 1.24 μg mL-1 . 58 pydiflumetofen-resistant (PR) mutants were obtained through pydiflumetofen-induced spontaneous mutation, with a mean EC50 value >500 μg mL -1 , and the resistance factor (RF) >400. The PR mutants displayed positive cross-resistance to carboxin, but were more sensitive to fluopyram. Sequencing analysis showed that all PR mutants presented a cytosine-to-thymine transition at nucleotide position +1218, resulting in a replacement of histidine 245 by tyrosine (H245Y) on MoSdhB. The mutation of MoSdhB exhibited strong resistant phenotype, but no detectable growth deficits in fungal development, including vegetative growth and pathogenicity of M. oryzae. An allele-specific PCR for rapid detection of the H245Y mutants was established in M. oryzae. CONCLUSION The M. oryzae is sensitive to pydiflumetofen, and shows a medium to high resistance risk to pydiflumetofen. A point mutation of MoSdhB (H245Y) is responsible for the fungal resistance to pydiflumetofen in M. oryzae. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This article presents fungicidal properties of 9 synthesized nicotinamide-bromides with different alkyl side chain lengths toward Fusarium graminearum, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Botrytis cinerea which were examined. The fungicidal properties were determined by the measurement of the radial growth of fungi, followed by the calculation of the antifungal index. The obtained results were correlated with the descriptors from DFT calculations to determine structural features that affect the fungicidal properties of nicotinamides. Based on the experimental and theoretical results, it was confirmed that F. graminearum is most resistant to the change of lipophilicity of compounds, while S. sclerotiorum is most sensitive. For all investigated compounds, the growth rate decreased with the increase of carbon atoms in the side chain until tetradecylnicotinamidium bromide, [C14Nic][Br], while the further prolongation of the alkyl side chain increased the growth rate of fungus. This behavior was explained by the distinguished hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces in [C14Nic][Br] due to interactions between keto oxygen and bromide anion absent in the case of nicotinamides with a longer chain.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are fungicides used in control of numerous fungal plant pathogens, including Erysiphe necator, the causal agent of grapevine powdery mildew (GPM). Here, the sdhb, sdhc, and sdhd genes of E. necator were screened for mutations that may be associated with SDHI resistance. GPM samples were collected from 2017 to 2020 from the U.S. states of California, Oregon, Washington, and Michigan, and the Canadian province of British Columbia. Forty-five polymorphisms were identified in the three sdh genes, 17 of which caused missense mutations. Of these, the SDHC-p.I244V substitution was shown in this study to reduce sensitivity of E. necator to boscalid and fluopyram, whereas the SDHC-p.G25R substitution did not affect SDHI sensitivity. Of the other 15 missense mutations, the SDHC-p.H242R substitution was shown in previous studies to reduce sensitivity of E. necator toward boscalid, whereas the equivalents of the SDHB-p.H242L, SDHC-p.A83V, and SDHD-p.I71F substitutions were shown to reduce sensitivity to SDHIs in other fungi. Generally, only a single amino acid substitution was present in the SDHB, SDHC, or SDHD subunit of E. necator isolates, but missense mutations putatively associated with SDHI resistance were widely distributed in the sampled areas and increased in frequency over time. Finally, isolates that had decreased sensitivity to boscalid or fluopyram were identified but with no or only the SDHC-p.G25R amino acid substitution present in SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD subunits. This suggests that target site mutations probably are not the only mechanism conferring resistance to SDHIs in E. necator.

Abstract
Fifteen novel pyridine carboxamide derivatives bearing a diarylamine-modified scaffold were designed, synthesized, and their antifungal activity was evaluated. Preliminary bioassay results showed that some of the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate to good in vitro antifungal activity. Further, compound 6-chloro-N-(2-(phenylamino)phenyl)nicotinamide (3f) displayed good in vivo antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea. The enzymatic test on B. cinerea succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) showed that the inhibitory activity possessed by compound 3f equally matches that of thifluzamide. Molecular docking results demonstrated that compound 3f could commendably dock with the active site of SDH via stable hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, suggesting the possible binding modes of the title compounds with SDH. The results above revealed that the target compounds would be the leading fungicide compound for further investigation.

Abstract
Corynespora leaf spot caused by Corynespora cassiicola is an important foliar disease in cucumber. Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors are the main fungicides used to control this disease. With the application of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) in the field, boscalid-resistant isolates have been continuously detected in the field. Resistance monitoring programs were performed to investigate the frequency and genotypes of resistant isolates. In our resistance monitoring, the frequency of resistant isolates rapidly increased from 9.68 to 85.88% in 2005 to 2020. Nine genotypes conferring SDHI resistance were found in resistant isolates, with different levels of resistance to SDHIs: B-H278R, B-H278L, B-H278Y, B-I280V, C-N75S, C-S73P, D-D95E, D-H105R, and D-G109V. The first sdh mutation was detected in Hebei Province in China, conferring an amino acid substitution at codon 278 in the sdhB subunit from histidine to tyrosine (B-H278Y), and it was the dominant resistance genotype in 2014 to 2015. Subsequently, other genotypes were gradually detected in the field, and the dominant mutations varied across years and across regions. The newest genotype (B-H278L) conferring SDHI resistance was found in 2020. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. cassiicola in cucumber. To date, multiple resistance to SDHIs, quinone outside inhibitors, benzimidazole fungicides, and dicarboximide fungicides have been detected, accounting for 75.64% of SDHI-resistant isolates. Therefore, the above four fungicides must be strictly restricted, and further monitoring work in other provinces with more isolates should be performed in the future.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are one of the most frequently used fungicides in cucumber fields in China. Our previous studies indicated that the sensitivity profile of Corynespora cassiicola, the causal agent of Corynespora leaf spot, to different SDHIs varied greatly; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The 50% effective concentration (EC50) values of boscalid, fluopyram, fluxapyroxad and isopyrazam in C. cassiicola collected from 2017 to 2020 shifted, with resistance frequencies of 79.83%, 78.43%, 83.19% and 49.86%, respectively. The sequence alignment of sdhB/C/D of resistant strains revealed that eight single amino acid mutations (B-H278Y/L, B-I280V, C-S73P, C-N75S, C-H134R, D-D95E and D-G109V), and three dual-mutations (B-I280V&C-S73P, B-I280V&C-N75S and C-S73P&C-N75S) conferred various SDHI resistance levels and cross-resistance profiles. The expression level of the sdhB/C/D gene and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in the mutants were significantly altered by the presence of SDHIs, compared with the wild type strain. Additionally, molecular docking results suggested that the missense mutation influenced the crystal structure of SDH and subsequently interfered with the interaction bonds and bond distances among the target protein and chemicals. In brief, amino acid mutations altered the fungicide response of target gene expression, SDH activity and the binding features of SDH-ligand complexes and subsequently conferred multiple resistance levels and complex cross-resistance patterns to SDHIs in C. cassiicola. The evaluation of C. cassiicola resistance to SDHIs provided a significant foundation for efficient chemical development and integrated CLS management strategies.

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
The succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide boscalid is an excellent broad-spectrum fungicide but has not been registered in China to control Penicillium digitatum, the causal agent of green mold of citrus. The present study evaluated the risk and molecular mechanisms for boscalid resistance in P. digitatum. Resistance induction with four arbitrarily selected sensitive isolates of P. digitatum by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on conidia plated on boscalid-amended potato dextrose agar (PDA) and consecutive growing on boscalid-amended PDA produced five highly resistant isolates with EC50 values greater than 1000 μg/mL and two resistant isolates with EC50 lower than 200 μg/mL. Boscalid resistance of the five mutants with EC50 values above 1000 μg/mL was stable after successive transfers on PDA for 16 generations. However, for the other two mutants with EC50 lower than 200 μg/mL, the EC50 values decreased significantly after successive transfers. There was significant cross-resistance between boscalid and carboxin (r = 0.925, P < 0.001), but no significant cross-resistance was detected between boscalid and fludioxonil (r = 0.533,P = 0.095) or between boscalid and prochloraz (r = -0.543,P = 0.088). The seven resistant mutants varied greatly in the mycelia growth, sporulation, pathogenicity, and sensitivities to exogenous stresses including NaCl, salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), and H2O2. Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence showed that there was no point mutation in the target enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) subunits SdhA, SdhC, or SdhD in each of the seven resistant mutants, and the mutation of a conserved histidine residue to tyrosine (H243Y) in the subunit SdhB (i.e., iron‑sulfur protein) occurred in only three highly resistant isolates. Molecular docking indicated that mutation H243Y could not prevent the binding of boscalid into the quinone-binding site of SDH in the presence of the heme moiety. However, for SDH without the heme moiety, boscalid could bind into a deeper site with a much higher affinity, and the mutation H243Y spatially blocked the docking of boscalid into the deeper site. This may be the molecular mechanism for boscalid resistance caused by SdhB-H243Y mutation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers. is one of the most significant airborne diseases. It can infest a wide range of crops, causing significant losses in yield and quality worldwide. Pydiflumetofen, a new generation succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI), is currently being registered in China to control gray mold in a variety of crops. The baseline sensitivity, resistance risk, and resistance mechanism of Botrytis cinerea to pydiflumetofen were assessed in this study. RESULTS A total of 138 strains of B. cinerea from 10 different regions were tested for their sensitivity to pydiflumetofen, and the mean EC50 value was 0.0056 μg mL-1 . Eight mutants were obtained by fungicide adaption from five sensitive parental isolates, and the resistance factor (RF) ranged from 51 to 135. The mutants exhibited strong adaptive traits in conidial production, conidial germination, and pathogenicity. Positive cross-resistance was only observed between other SDHIs (i.e. boscalid, fluopyram, and isopyrazam). Two different types of pydiflumetofen-resistant mutants were identified: point mutation P225L in sdhB and double mutation G85A and I93V in sdhC. The in vivo control efficacy of pydiflumetofen on the resistant mutants carrying P225L in sdhB as well as G85A and I93V in sdhC was significantly decreased to 52.62% and 32.27%, respectively. CONCLUSION The fitness was significantly higher for all pydiflumetofen-resistant mutants than the corresponding parental. Two types of point mutations, sdhB-P225L and sdhC-G85A and I93V, might confer resistance to pydiflumetofen in B. cinerea. A precautionary resistance management strategy should be implemented. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Fusarium wilt of chili caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici (FCO) severely reduces the production of chili worldwide. There is growing evidence of resistance to commercial fungicides targeting succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) of FCO soliciting the development of new Sdh inhibitors (SdhIs). In the current work, optimized docking and virtual screening were used to mine twelve SdhIs from the ZINC database, followed by in vitro antifungal evaluation on spore and radial mycelium development. Four new promising SdhIs exhibiting a mean mycelium inhibition rate greater than 85.6% (F = 155.8, P = 0.001, P < 0.05) were observed on ten strains of virulent and resistant FCO. Importantly, three of the discovered molecules exhibited potent spore germination inhibition (≥ 80%, P = 0.01, P < 0.05) compared to the commonly used fungicide penthiopyrad. A significant positive correlation (r* ≥ 0.67, P < 0.05) between the activities of the newly discovered SdhIs compared to penthiopyrad against all tested FCO strains indicated a broad-spectrum fungicidal activity. The current findings indicate that the four SdhI's discovered could judiciously replace certain commercial SdhIs that some FCO displays resistance to.

Abstract
To unceasingly expand the molecular diversity of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-carbohydrazides, herein, small fragments (including -CH2-, -OCH2-, and -SCH2-) were incorporated into the target compounds to screen out the potential succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs). The bioassay results showed that the antifungal effects (expressed by EC50) against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Botryosphaeria dothidea, Fusarium oxysporum, and Colletotrichun higginsianum could reach 1.29 (10a), 0.63 (8h), 1.50 (10i), and 2.09 (10i) μg/mL, respectively, which were slightly lower than those of carbendazim (EC50 were 0.69, 0.13, 0.55, and 0.80 μg/mL, respectively). Especially, compound 10h was extremely bioactive against Gibberella zeae (G. z.) with an EC50 value of 0.45 μg/mL. This outcome was better than that of fluopyram (3.76 μg/mL) and was similar to prochloraz (0.47 μg/mL). In vivo trials against the corn scab (infected by G. z.) showed that compound 10h had control activity of 86.8% at 200 μg/mL, which was better than that of boscalid (79.6%). Further investigations found that compound 10h could inhibit the enzymatic activity of SDH in the G. z. strain with an IC50 value of 3.67 μM, indicating that potential SDHIs might be developed. Additionally, the other biological activities of these molecules were screened simultaneously. The anti-oomycete activity toward Phytophthora infestans afforded a minimal EC50 value of 3.22 μg/mL (10h); compound 4d could strongly suppress the growth of bacterial strains Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae with EC50 values of 3.79 and 11.4 μg/mL, respectively; and compound 10a displayed some insecticidal activity toward Plutella xylostella. Given their multipurpose features, these frameworks could be actively studied as potential pesticide leads.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) have been widely used to manage plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi. Although attention to and use of SDHI fungicides has recently increased, molecular responses of fungal pathogens to SDHIs have often not been investigated. A SDHI fungicide, fluopyram, has been used as a soybean seed treatment and has displayed effective control of Fusarium virguliforme, one of the causal agents of soybean sudden death syndrome. To examine genome-wide gene expression of F. virguliforme to fluopyram, RNA-seq analysis was conducted on two field strains of F. virguliforme with differing SDHI fungicide sensitivity in the absence and presence of fluopyram. RESULTS The analysis indicated that several xenobiotic detoxification-related genes, such as those of deoxygenase, transferases and transporters, were highly induced by fluopyram. Among the genes, four ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters were characterized by the yeast expression system. The results revealed that expression of three ABCG transporters was associated with reduced sensitivity to multiple fungicides including fluopyram. In addition, heterologous expression of a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter that was highly expressed in the fluopyram-insensitive F. virguliforme strain in the yeast system conferred decreased sensitivity to fluopyram. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that xenobiotic detoxification-related genes were highly upregulated in response to fluopyram, and expression of ABC or MFS transporter genes was associated with reduced sensitivity to the SDHI fungicide. This is the first transcriptomic analysis of the fungal species response to fluopyram and the finding will help elucidate the molecular mechanisms of SDHI resistance. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system is central to cellular metabolism. It comprises five enzymatic complexes and two mobile electron carriers that work in a mitochondrial respiratory chain. By coupling the oxidation of reducing equivalents coming into mitochondria to the generation and subsequent dissipation of a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, this electron transport chain drives the production of ATP, which is then used as a primary energy carrier in virtually all cellular processes. Minimal perturbations of the respiratory chain activity are linked to diseases; therefore, it is necessary to understand how these complexes are assembled and regulated and how they function. In this Review, we outline the latest assembly models for each individual complex, and we also highlight the recent discoveries indicating that the formation of larger assemblies, known as respiratory supercomplexes, originates from the association of the intermediates of individual complexes. We then discuss how recent cryo-electron microscopy structures have been key to answering open questions on the function of the electron transport chain in mitochondrial respiration and how supercomplexes and other factors, including metabolites, can regulate the activity of the single complexes. When relevant, we discuss how these mechanisms contribute to physiology and outline their deregulation in human diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past decade, demethylation inhibitor (DMI) and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides have been extensively used to control to septoria tritici blotch, caused by Zymoseptoria tritici on wheat. This has led to the development and selection of alterations in the target-site enzymes (CYP51 and SDH, respectively). RESULTS Taking advantage of newly and previously developed qPCR assays, the frequency of key alterations associated with DMI (CYP51-S524T) and SDHI (SDHC-T79N/I, C-N86S and C-H152R) resistance was assessed in Z. tritici-infected wheat leaf samples collected from commercial crops (n = 140) across 14 European countries prior to fungicide application in the spring of 2019. This revealed the presence of a West to East gradient in the frequencies of the most common key alterations conferring azole (S524T) and SDHI resistance (T79N and N86S), with the highest frequencies measured in Ireland and Great Britain. These observations were corroborated by sequencing (CYP51 and SDH subunits) and sensitivity phenotyping (prothioconazole-desthio and fluxapyroxad) of Z. tritici isolates collected from a selection of field samples. Additional sampling made at the end of the 2019 season confirmed the continued increase in frequency of the targeted alterations. Investigations on historical leaf DNA samples originating from different European countries revealed that the frequency of all key alterations (except C-T79I) has been gradually increasing over the past decade. CONCLUSION Whilst these alterations are quickly becoming dominant in Ireland and Great Britain, scope still exists to delay their selection throughout the wider European population, emphasizing the need for the implementation of fungicide antiresistance measures. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is known as an ideal target for the investigations of fungicides. To develop novel SDH inhibitors, 30 novel thiophene/furan-1,3,4-oxadiazole carboxamide derivatives were designed and synthesized. In the in vitro antifungal assay, a majority of the target compounds demonstrated fair to potent antifungal activity against seven tested phytopathogenic fungi. Compounds 4b, 4g, 4h, 4i, and 5j showed remarkable antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, affording EC50 values ranging from 0.1∼1.1 mg/L. In particular, compound 4i displayed the most potent activity against S. sclerotiorum (EC50 = 0.140 ± 0.034 mg/L), which was superior to that of boscalid (EC50 = 0.645 ± 0.023 mg/L). A further morphological investigation revealed the abnormal mycelia and damaged cell structures of compound 4i-treated S. sclerotiorum by scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, the in vivo antifungal assay against S. sclerotiorum revealed that compounds 4g and 4i were effective for suppressing rape Sclerotinia rot at a dosage of 200 mg/L. In the SDH inhibition assay, compounds 4g and 4i also presented significant inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 1.01 ± 0.21 and 4.53 ± 0.19 μM, respectively, which were superior or equivalent to that of boscalid (3.51 ± 2.02 μM). Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation of compound 4g with SDH revealed that compound 4g could form strong interactions with the key residues of the SDH. These results indicated that this class of derivatives could be a promising scaffold for the discovery and development of novel SDH inhibitors.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) have become one of the fastest growing classes of new fungicides since entering the market, and have attracted increasing attention as a result of their unique structure, high activity and broad fungicidal spectrum. The mechanism of SDHIs is to inhibit the activity of succinate dehydrogenase, thereby affecting mitochondrial respiration and ultimately killing pathogenic fungi. At present, they have become popular varieties researched and developed by major pesticide companies in the world. In the review, we focused on the mechanism, the history, the representative varieties, structure-activity relationship and resistance of SDHIs. Finally, the potential directions for the development of SDHIs were discussed. It is hoped that this review can strengthen the individuals' understanding of SDHIs and provide some inspiration for the development of new fungicides.

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
New fungicides are tools to manage fungal diseases and overcome emerging resistance in fungal pathogens. In this study, a total of 121 Fusarium fujikuroi isolates were collected from various geographical regions of China and their sensitivity to a novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide 'pydiflumetofen' was evaluated. The 50% effective concentration (EC50) value of pydiflumetofen for mycelial growth suppression ranged from 0.0101 to 0.1012 μg/ml and for conidial germination inhibition ranged from 0.0051 to 0.1082 μg/ml. Pydiflumetofen-treated hyphae showed contortion and increased branching, cell membrane permeability, and glycerol content significantly. The result of electron microscope transmission indicated that pydiflumetofen damaged the mycelial cell wall and the cell membrane, and almost broke up the cells, which increased the intracellular plasma leakage. There was no cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and the widely used fungicides such as carbendazim, prochloraz, and phenamacril. Pydiflumetofen was found safe to seeds and rice seedlings of four rice cultivars, used up to 400 μg/ml. Seed treatment significantly decreased the rate of diseased plants in the greenhouse as well as in field trials in 2017 and 2018. Pydiflumetofen showed superb results against the rice bakanae disease (RBD), when used at 10 or 20 g a.i./100 kg of treated seeds, providing over 90% control efficacy (the maximum control efficacy was up to 97%), which was significantly higher than that of 25% phenamacril (SC) at 10 g or carbendazim at 100 g. Pydiflumetofen is highly effective against F. fujikuroi growth and sporulation as well as RBD in the field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following the introduction of fenpicoxamid, a natural product-based fungicide targeting the Qi site of mitochondrial cytochrome bc1 complex, a second generation fully synthetic picolinamide, florylpicoxamid, was discovered and its biological activity and attributes were characterized. RESULTS In vitro fungal growth inhibition assays and in planta glasshouse biological activity evaluations showed florylpicoxamid was active against 21 different plant pathogenic fungi within the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Among the pathogens evaluated, florylpicoxamid was most potent against Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal organism of wheat leaf blotch, providing 80% growth inhibition in vitro at 0.0046 mg L-1 and 80% disease control in planta at 0.03 mg L-1 when applied as a preventative treatment. Florylpicoxamid was more efficacious than epoxiconazole, fluxapyroxad, and benzovindiflupyr versus a Z. tritici wild-type isolate when applied as curative and preventative treatments, with superior 10-day curative reachback activity. Analytical studies and in planta tests demonstrated that florylpicoxamid partitioned into plants quickly and showed good systemicity and translaminar activity on both monocot and dicot plants. No cross-resistance was observed between florylpicoxamid and strobilurin or azole fungicides. Florylpicoxamid exerts its preventative effect by preventing spore germination on the leaf surface and curative activity by arresting mycelial growth and pycnidia development in leaf tissue. CONCLUSIONS With strong broad spectrum fungicidal activity, florylpicoxamid delivers an innovative solution for growers to sustain high productivity and quality of many crops, and also provides a new option for developing effective strategies for fungicide resistance management. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fungicides of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) group have been used in soybean to control Asian soybean rust (ASR) caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi. Fungal populations with less sensitivity to SDHI fungicides have been reported since 2015. RESULTS In this study, fungal sensitivity to benzovindiflupyr (BZV) and fluxapyroxad (FXD) was assessed using a total of 770 P. pachyrhizi populations sampled over four soybean growing seasons. Cross-resistance, intrinsic activity, and frequency of SDHC-I86F mutation were also analyzed. The average effective concentration to inhibit 50% (EC50 ) and SDHC-I86F frequency increased over the 2015/2016, 2016/2017, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 soybean-seasons. Fourteen P. pachyrhizi populations had the EC50 value above 10 mg L-1 for both carboxamides. No difference was found in intrinsic active to BZV and FXD fungicides for sensitive P. pachyrhizi populations. For P. pachyrhizi classified as less sensitive BZV showed the highest fungitoxicity effect. High frequency of the C-I86F mutation was observed in samples collected in volunteer soybean plants. The maximum frequency of SDHC-I86F mutation in the population was 50% and resulting in ASR populations with low sensitivity to SDHIs. A low correlation between bioassay and SDHC-I86F mutation was observed possible due to the dikaryotic nature of rust fungi or other mutations in the other succinate dehydrogenase subunits. CONCLUSION The present work provides an overview of a large sampling size of P. pachyrhizi populations and their performance over the four crop seasons. The high frequency of SDHC-I86F mutation and low sensitivity to SDHIs are widely distributed in the main soybean growing regions in Brazil and present in volunteer plants in the soybean-free period. Further detailed studies are needed to identify novel point mutations affecting the effectiveness of SDHIs. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Fungicide Resistance in Citrus Postharvest Green Mold. J Fungi (Basel) 2021; 7:jof7090783.

Abstract
The necrotrophic fungus Penicillium digitatum (Pd) is responsible for the green mold disease that occurs during postharvest of citrus and causes enormous economic losses around the world. Fungicides remain the main method used to control postharvest green mold in citrus fruit storage despite numerous occurrences of resistance to them. Hence, it is necessary to find new and more effective strategies to control this type of disease. This involves delving into the molecular mechanisms underlying the appearance of resistance to fungicides during the plant–pathogen interaction. Although mechanisms involved in resistance to fungicides have been studied for many years, there have now been great advances in the molecular aspects that drive fungicide resistance, which facilitates the design of new means to control green mold. A wide review allows the mechanisms underlying fungicide resistance in Pd to be unveiled, taking into account not only the chemical nature of the compounds and their target of action but also the general mechanism that could contribute to resistance to others compounds to generate what we call multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotypes. In this context, fungal transporters seem to play a relevant role, and their mode of action may be controlled along with other processes of interest, such as oxidative stress and fungal pathogenicity. Thus, the mechanisms for acquisition of resistance to fungicides seem to be part of a complex framework involving aspects of response to stress and processes of fungal virulence.

Resistance to the SDHI Fungicides Boscalid and Fluopyram in Podosphaera xanthii Populations from Commercial Cucurbit Fields in Spain. J Fungi (Basel) 2021; 7:jof7090733.

Abstract
Powdery mildew is caused by Podosphaera xanthii, and is one of the most important diseases that attacks Spanish cucurbit crops. Fungicide application is the primary control tool; however, its effectiveness is hampered by the rapid development of resistance to these compounds. In this study, the EC50 values of 26 isolates were determined in response to the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides boscalid and fluopyram. From these data, the discriminatory doses were deduced and used for SDHI resistance monitoring during the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons. Of the 298 isolates analysed, 37.9% showed resistance to boscalid and 44% to fluopyram. Although different phenotypes were observed in leaf disc assays, the resistant isolates showed the same phenotype in plant assays. Compared to sensitive isolates, two amino acid changes were found in the SdhC subunit, A86V and G151R, which are associated mostly with resistance patterns to fluopyram and boscalid, respectively. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in terms of fitness cost between the selected sensitive and resistant isolates analysed here. Lastly, a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed to detect A86V and G151R mutations using conidia obtained directly from infected material. Our results show that growers could continue to use boscalid and fluopyram, but resistance management practices must be implemented.

Abstract
Acquired resistance is a threat to antifungal efficacy in medicine and agriculture. The diversity of possible resistance mechanisms and highly adaptive traits of pathogens make it difficult to predict evolutionary outcomes of treatments. We used directed evolution as an approach to assess the resistance risk to the new fungicide fenpicoxamid in the wheat pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici. Fenpicoxamid inhibits complex III of the respiratory chain at the ubiquinone reduction site (Qi site) of the mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b, a different site than the widely used strobilurins which inhibit the same complex at the ubiquinol oxidation site (Qo site). We identified the G37V change within the cytochrome b Qi site as the most likely resistance mechanism to be selected in Z. tritici. This change triggered high fenpicoxamid resistance and halved the enzymatic activity of cytochrome b, despite no significant penalty for in vitro growth. We identified negative cross-resistance between isolates harbouring G37V or G143A, a Qo site change previously selected by strobilurins. Double mutants were less resistant to both QiIs and quinone outside inhibitors compared to single mutants. This work is a proof of concept that experimental evolution can be used to predict adaptation to fungicides and provides new perspectives for the management of QiIs.

Abstract
The quinone binding site (Q-site) of Mitochondrial Complex II (succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is the target for a number of inhibitors useful for elucidating the mechanism of the enzyme. Some of these have been developed as fungicides or pesticides, and species-specific Q-site inhibitors may be useful against human pathogens. We report structures of chicken Complex II with six different Q-site inhibitors bound, at resolutions 2.0-2.4 Å. These structures show the common interactions between the inhibitors and their binding site. In every case a carbonyl or hydroxyl oxygen of the inhibitor is H-bonded to Tyr58 in subunit SdhD and Trp173 in subunit SdhB. Two of the inhibitors H-bond Ser39 in subunit SdhC directly, while two others do so via a water molecule. There is a distinct cavity that accepts the 2-substituent of the carboxylate ring in flutolanil and related inhibitors. A hydrophobic "tail pocket" opens to receive a side-chain of intermediate-length inhibitors. Shorter inhibitors fit entirely within the main binding cleft, while the long hydrophobic side chains of ferulenol and atpenin A5 protrude out of the cleft into the bulk lipid region, as presumably does that of ubiquinone. Comparison of mitochondrial and Escherichia coli Complex II shows a rotation of the membrane-anchor subunits by 7° relative to the iron‑sulfur protein. This rotation alters the geometry of the Q-site and the H-bonding pattern of SdhB:His216 and SdhD:Asp57. This conformational difference, rather than any active-site mutation, may be responsible for the different inhibitor sensitivity of the bacterial enzyme.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:3419-3426. [PMID: 33797181 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2020] [Revised: 02/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/02/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pydiflumetofen, as a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) chiral fungicide, has been used in crop production because of its broad-spectrum and high-efficiency antifungal activity. However, little is known about pydiflumetofen at the chiral level. The stereoselective bioactivity and degradation of pydiflumetofen enantiomers were therefore investigated. RESULTS Pydiflumetofen presented effective bioactivity against the eight tested phytopathogens, and its enantiomers showed significant differences in activity. The bioactivity of R-pydiflumetofen was 9.0-958.8 times higher than that of the S enantiomer. Treatment with R-pydiflumetofen increased the cell membrane permeability of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and decreased exopolysaccharide and oxalic acid production more than treatment with S-pydiflumetofen. Furthermore, R-pydflumetofen exhibited better inhibitory activity against the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme of S. sclerotiorum than S-pydiflumetofen by 584-fold. According to homology modeling and molecular docking studies, the binding affinities of the R and S enantiomers were -7.0 and -5.3 kcal mol-1 , respectively. Additionally, the degradation half-lives of S- and R-pydiflumetofen in three vegetables (cucumber, eggplant, and cowpea) under field conditions were 2.56-3.12 days and 2.48-2.76 days, respectively, which reveals that R-pydiflumetofen degrades faster than S-pydiflumetofen. CONCLUSION Based on the results obtained, R-pydiflumetofen not only exhibited a higher bactericidal activity, but also posed fewer residual risks in the environment. The mechanism of the stereoselective bioactivity was correlated with the stereoselective inhibition activity of the target enzyme and affected the cell membrane permeability and the production of exopolysaccharide and oxalic acid. This research could provide a foundation for the systematic evaluation of pydiflumetofen from an enantiomeric view. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reliance on fungicides to manage disease creates selection pressure for the evolution of resistance in fungal and oomycete pathogens. Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are major pathogens of cereals and other crops and have been classified as low-risk for developing resistance to fungicides; no case of field failure of fungicides in a cereal rust disease has yet been recorded. Recently, the Asian soybean rust pathogen, Phakopsora pachyrhizi evolved resistance to several fungicide classes, prompting us to screen a large sample of the globally widespread wheat yellow rust pathogen, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), for mutations associated with fungicide resistance. RESULTS We evaluated 363 Pst isolates from Europe, the USA, Ethiopia, Chile, China and New Zealand for mutations in the target genes of demethylase inhibitor (DMI; Cyp51) and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI; SdhB, SdhC and SdhD) fungicides. A high proportion of Pst isolates carrying a Y134F DMI resistance-associated substitution in the Cyp51 gene was found among those from China and New Zealand. A set of geographically diverse Pst isolates was also found to display a substitution in SdhC (I85V) that is homologous to that reported recently in P. pachyrhizi and linked to SDHI resistance. CONCLUSION The identification of resistance-associated alleles confirms that cereal rusts are not immune to fungicide resistance and that selection for resistance evolution is operating at high levels in certain locations. It highlights the need to adopt fungicide resistance management practices and to monitor cereal rust species for development of resistance. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are a class of broad-spectrum fungicides used for management of diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi. In many cases, reduced sensitivity to SDHI fungicides has been correlated with point mutations in the SdhB and SdhC target genes that encode components of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. However, the genetic basis of SDHI fungicide resistance mechanisms has been functionally characterized in very few fungi. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a fast-growing and SDHI fungicide-sensitive phytopathogenic fungus that can be conveniently transformed. Given the high amino acid sequence similarity and putative structural similarity of SDHI protein target sites between S. sclerotiorum and other common phytopathogenic ascomycete fungi, we developed an in vitro heterologous expression system that used S. sclerotiorum as a reporter strain. With this system, we were able to demonstrate the function of mutant SdhB or SdhC alleles from several ascomycete fungi in conferring resistance to multiple SDHI fungicides. In total, we successfully validated the function of Sdh alleles that had been previously identified in field isolates of Botrytis cinerea, Blumeriella jaapii, and Clarireedia jacksonii (formerly S. homoeocarpa) in conferring resistance to boscalid, fluopyram, or fluxapyroxad and used site-directed mutagenesis to construct and phenotype a mutant allele that is not yet known to exist in Monilinia fructicola populations. We also examined the functions of these alleles in conferring cross-resistance to more recently introduced SDHIs including inpyrfluxam, pydiflumetofen, and pyraziflumid. The approach developed in this study can be widely applied to interrogate SDHI fungicide resistance mechanisms in other phytopathogenic ascomycetes.

Changes in DMI, SDHI, and QoI Fungicide Sensitivity in the Estonian Zymoseptoria tritici Population between 2019 and 2020. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9040814. [PMID: 33921542 PMCID: PMC8070593 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9040814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2021] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Zymoseptoria tritici (Zt) populations adapt under the selection pressure of fungicides applied for disease control. The primary objective of this study was to assess fungicide sensitivity in the Estonian Zt population. A total of 282 Zt isolates from 2019 and 2020 were tested for sensitivity to azoles (DMIs; prothioconazole-desthio, epoxiconazole, mefentrifluconazole) and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs; boscalid, fluxapyroxad). The efficacy of the tested fungicides varied considerably between the Estonian counties, but the Zt population is mainly sensitive to DMIs. Additionally, the frequencies of CYP51 gene alterations varied; D134G, V136C, A379G, and S524T had increased, but V136A and I381V showed a moderate decrease in 2020 in comparison to 2019. Sensitivity to SDHIs was stable, but boscalid was less effective than fluxapyroxad. SdhC gene mutations C-T33N, C-T34N, and C-N86S were common, but not linked with SDHI fungicide sensitivity assay results. Otherwise, mutation B-N225I in the SdhB subunit occurred in isolates with reduced sensitivity to SDHIs. Sensitivity to strobilurins was evaluated by the mutation G143A in the CytB gene, which was present in nearly half of the population. The data presented confirm the ongoing evolution of fungicide sensitivity in the Zt population in Estonia and highlight the importance of knowledge-based decisions for optimizing anti-resistance strategies in the field.

Abstract
The evolution of resistance has been seen across all major classes of xenobiotics, including antimicrobial drugs and agricultural pesticides. This repeated emergence of resistance is a case of phenotypic parallel evolution, but often the parallelism extends to the molecular level too, with multiple species gaining the same mutation in response to the same chemical treatment. We review the degree of repeatability in target-site resistance mutations affecting different classes of site-specific agricultural fungicides used in crop protection, comparing the extent to which resistance in different pathogen species has evolved via the same or different mutations. For all major fungicide target sites, substantial levels of molecular parallel evolution can be seen, with at least one mutation recurring in over 50% of species. Target-site mutations appear to be most repeatable in cytochrome b, target site of quinone-outside inhibitor fungicides, and least predictable for CYP51, target site of the azoles. Intermediate levels of repeatability are seen for the MBC target site β-tubulin, and the SDHI target site succinate dehydrogenase. Repeatability may be lower where there are selective trade-offs between resistance and pleiotropic fitness penalties, or differing levels of cross-resistance across members of a fungicide class; or where single mutations confer only partial resistance, and epistatic interactions between multiple mutations result in a rugged fitness landscape. This affects the predictive power of in vitro mutation studies, and has practical implications for resistance monitoring strategies and diagnostic methods.

Abstract
Dollar spot, caused by the ascomycete fungus Clarireedia (formerly Sclerotinia), is one of the most resource-demanding diseases on amenity turfgrasses in North America. Differential resistance to the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide class, conferred by singular point mutations on the SdhB, SdhC, and SdhD subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDH), has been reported in dollar spot as well as many other plant-pathogenic fungal diseases. Four unique mutations were previously reported from Clarireedia field isolates collected from two different cool-season golf courses in Japan and Rhode Island: an amino acid substitution H267Y and a silent mutation (CTT to CTC) at codon 181 on the SdhB subunit gene, and amino acid substitutions G91R and G150R on the SdhC subunit gene. To properly diagnose and monitor SDHI resistance in the field, a rapid detection system for known mutations is crucial. As part of this study, additional SDHI-resistant Clarireedia isolates were collected from Rutgers University research plots and in vitro sensitivity to four SDHI active ingredients was assessed. SdhB, SdhC, and SdhD subunits of these isolates were sequenced to reveal an additional mutation on the SdhB subunit gene, H267R, not previously observed in Clarireedia. Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) and derived CAPS molecular markers were developed to detect five mutations conferring SDHI resistance in Clarireedia isolates and validated using samples from two additional golf courses in Connecticut and Wisconsin experiencing SDHI field failure. This PCR-based molecular detection system will be useful for continued monitoring, assessment, and delay of SDHI resistance in the field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, can be effectively controlled by application of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor thifluzamide. Although the risk of resistance to thifluzamide in R. solani had been reported, the thifluzamide-resistance mechanism and the evolution of thifluzamide-resistance in R. solani have not been investigated in detail. RESULTS No differences were found between the sequences of proteins SDHA, SDHC, and SDHD in thifluzamide-sensitive isolates and thifluzamide-resistant mutants, but a single point mutation H249Y was found in SDHB. Two different types of thifluzamide-resistant R. solani mutants were characterized: homokaryotic, carrying only the resistance allele; and heterokaryotic, retaining the wild-type allele in addition to the resistance allele. The resistance level differed according to the nuclear composition at codon 249 in the sdhB gene. Molecular docking results suggested that the point mutation (H249Y) might significantly alter the affinity of thifluzamide and SDHB protein. Heterokaryotic mutants were able to evolve into a homokaryon when repeatedly cultured on agar media or rice plants in the presence of thifluzamide, but thifluzamide treatment had no effect on the genotypes of homokaryotic mutants or sensitive isolates. CONCLUSION This study showed that H249Y in SDHB protein could cause thifluzamide resistance in R. solani. Fungicide application could promote heterokaryotic mutants to evolve into a homokaryon. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
To continue our ongoing studies on discovery of new potent antifungal leads, 43 novel pyrazole-aromatic containing carboxamides were rationally designed and synthesized. Bioassays indicated that most target compounds displayed good in vitro antifungal activities against Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia cerealis and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and in vivo antifungal activity against R. solani. Compound 11ea exhibited the most significant in vitro activity against R. cerealis (EC50 = 0.93 μg/mL) with about 2-fold more potent than a previously reported lead compound A1 (EC50 = 2.01 μg/mL), and about 11-fold more potent than the positive control/commercial succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor thifluzamide (EC50 = 23.09 μg/mL). Structure-activity relationship analysis and molecular docking simulations indicated that the presence of difluoromethyl pyrazole-(m-benzene) carboxamide scaffold obviously increased the antifungal activity. The further enzymatic bioassay showed that both thifluzamide and compound 11ea displayed excellent SDH inhibitory effects, and fluorescence quenching analysis suggested that they may share the same target SDH.

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.

Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) have played a crucial role in disease control to protect cereals as well as fruit and vegetables for more than a decade. Isoflucypram, the first representative of a newly installed subclass of SDHIs inside the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) family of complex II inhibitors, offers unparalleled long-lasting efficacy against major foliar diseases in cereals. Herein we report the chemical optimization from early discovery towards isoflucypram and the first hypothesis of its altered binding mode in the ubiquinone binding site of succinate dehydrogenase. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
New succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicides (SDHIs), isopyrazam, pyraziflumid and isofetamid were introduced in the Japanese market in 2017-2018 to control powdery mildew on cucumber. SDHI resistance of the disease fungus (Podosphaera xanthii) was first reported during 2008-2009 against boscalid. Then, penthiopyrad which belongs to SDHIs was introduced in 2010, but subsequent monitoring study was not performed. We investigated the sensitivity of P. xanthii field isolates from Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, to SDHIs and SdhB, SdhC and SdhD gene mutations, using a leaf disc assay and SDH gene analysis. A total of 19 out of the 22 selected isolates showed resistance to SDHIs. The 19 isolates were phenotypically categorized into three types: Resistant I as moderately and Resistant II as highly resistant to penthiopyrad, isopyrazam and pyraziflumid but sensitive to isofetamid and Resistant III as highly resistant to isofetamid but sensitive to the other three SDHIs. SDH gene analysis revealed that Resistant I and III isolates carried a substitution in PxD-S121P and PxC-A86V, respectively. Resistant II carried three different substitutions: PxC-G151R, PxC-G172D, and PxD-H137R. Among 127 isolates sampled from 16 cucumber greenhouses, 54 exhibited Resistant I phenotype and carried only PxD-S121P. Fifty-six isolates exhibited Resistant II and carried PxC-G151R (four isolates), PxC-G172D (24), and PxD-H137R (28). Only two isolates expressed the Resistant III phenotype carrying PxC-A86V. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating cross-resistance patterns and the molecular characterization of SDHIs in P. xanthii.
