Abstract
BACKGROUND Fludioxonil is a fungicide used to control gray mold. However, the frequency of resistance in the field is low, and highly resistant strains are rarely isolated. The biological fitness of the resistant strain is lower than that of the wild strain. Therefore, the molecular mechanism underlying the decrease in the fitness of the fludioxonil-resistant strain of Botrytis cinerea was explored to provide a theoretical basis for resistance monitoring and management. RESULTS Transcriptome analysis was performed on five different-point mutant resistant strains of fludioxonil, focusing on mining and screening candidate genes that lead to reduced fitness of the resistant strains and the functional verification of these genes. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the five point-mutation resistant strains intersected with 1869 DEGs. Enrichment analysis showed that three downregulated genes (Bcin05g07030, Bcgad1, and Bcin03g05840) were enriched in multiple metabolic pathways and were downregulated in both domesticated strains. Bcin05g07030 and Bcin03g05840 were involved in mycelial growth and development, pathogenicity, and conidial yield, and negatively regulated oxidative stress and cell wall synthesis. Bcgad1 was involved in mycelial growth and development, conidial yield, oxidative stress, and cell wall synthesis. Furthermore, Bcin05g07030 was involved in osmotic stress and spore germination, whereas Bcin03g05840 and Bcgad1 negatively regulated osmotic stress and cell wall integrity. CONCLUSION These results enable us to further understand the molecular mechanism underlying the decrease in the biological fitness of B. cinerea fludioxonil-resistant strains. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The main phytosanitary problem for table grape production in Chile is gray mold caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea. To manage this issue, the primary method utilized is chemical control. Fludioxonil, a phenylpyrrole, is highly effective in controlling B. cinerea and other plant pathogens. Consistently, there have been no field reports of reduced efficacy of fludioxonil; however, subpopulations with reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil are on the rise globally, as per increasing reports. Our study involved a large-scale evaluation of B. cinerea's sensitivity to fludioxonil in the Central Valley of Chile's primary table grape production area during the growing seasons from 2015 to 2018. Out of 2,207 isolates, only 1.04% of the isolates (n = 23) exceeded the sensitivity threshold value of 1 μg/ml. Remarkably, 95.7% are concentrated in a geographic region (Valparaíso Region). Isolates with reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil showed growth comparable with sensitive isolates and even more robust growth under nutritional deficit, temperature, or osmotic stress, suggesting greater environmental adaptation. When table grape detached berries were stored at 0°C, isolates less sensitive to fludioxonil caused larger lesions than sensitive isolates (2.82 mm compared with 1.48 mm). However, the lesions generated by both types of isolates were equivalent at room temperature. This study found no cross-resistance between fludioxonil and fenhexamid, an essential fungicide integrated with fludioxonil in Chilean B. cinerea control programs. All the Chilean isolates with reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil were controlled by the fludioxonil/cyprodinil mixture, a commonly employed form of fludioxonil. The cyprodinil sensitivity in the isolates with reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil explains their low field frequency despite their null fitness penalties. However, the emergence of fludioxonil-resistant isolates inside the Chilean B. cinerea population demands a comprehensive analysis of their genetic bases, accompanied by monitoring tools that allow the permanence of field fludioxonil efficacy.

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.

A Conservative Mutant Version of the Mrr1 Transcription Factor Correlates with Reduced Sensitivity to Fludioxonil in Botrytis cinerea. Pathogens 2024; 13:374.

Abstract
Fludioxonil is a highly effective phenylpyrrole fungicide for controlling Botrytis cinerea. Although the field efficacy of fludioxonil remains high, Botrytis cinerea isolates with reduced sensitivity have been reported globally. The molecular target of fludioxonil still remains unknown; however, a mechanism of reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil underlies the overexpression of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter AtrB in a dependent pathway of the Mrr1 transcription factor. Fludioxonil is a key player in controlling B. cinerea infection in table grapes in Chile. However, some isolates with a reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil were detected. This study observed endogenous atrB overexpression in Chilean isolates with reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil (n = 22) compared to the sensitive isolates (n = 10). All isolates increased the expression of atrB in a growth medium supplemented with fludioxonil (0.05 μg/mL). However, sensitive isolates showed lower atrB expression than those with reduced fludioxonil sensitivity. Remarkably, a mutant version of the transcription factor Mrr1 carrying 21 amino acid modifications was identified in all isolates with reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil. These changes alter the protein's transcription factor domain and the C-terminal portion of the protein but not the Zn (2)-C6 fungal-type DNA-binding domain. These results suggest a direct relationship between the conserved and divergent mutant version of mrr1 and sensitivity to fludioxonil. This study provides a new target for developing molecular diagnostic strategies to monitor B. cinerea's sensitivity to fludioxonil in the field.

Abstract
Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is among the 10 most serious fungal diseases worldwide. Fludioxonil is widely used to prevent and control gray mold due to its low toxicity and high efficiency; however, resistance caused by long-term use has become increasingly prominent. Therefore, exploring the resistance mechanism of fungicides provides a theoretical basis for delaying the occurrence of diseases and controlling gray mold. In this study, fludioxonil-resistant strains were obtained through indoor drug domestication, and the mutation sites were determined by sequencing. Strains obtained by site-directed mutagenesis were subjected to biological analysis, and the binding modes of fludioxonil and iprodione to Botrytis cinerea Bos1 BcBos1 were predicted by molecular docking. The results showed that F127S, I365S/N, F127S + I365N, and I376M mutations on the Bos1 protein led to a decrease in the binding energy between the drug and BcBos1. The A1259T mutation did not lead to a decrease in the binding energy, which was not the cause of drug resistance. The biological fitness of the fludioxonil- and point mutation-resistant strains decreased, and their growth rate, sporulation rate, and pathogenicity decreased significantly. The glycerol content of the sensitive strains was significantly lower than that of the resistant strains and increased significantly after treatment with 0.1 μg/ml of fludioxonil, whereas that of the resistant strains decreased. The osmotic sensitivity of the resistant strains was significantly lower than that of the sensitive strains. Positive cross-resistance was observed between fludioxonil and iprodione. These results will help to understand the resistance mechanism of fludioxonil in Botrytis cinerea more deeply.

Abstract
The necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea infects a broad range of plant hosts and causes substantial economic losses to many crops. Although resistance to procymidone has been observed in the field, it remains uncertain why procymidone is usually involved in multidrug resistance (MDR) together with other fungicides. Nine mutants derived from the B. cinerea strain B05.10 through procymidone domestication exhibited high resistance factors (RFs) against both procymidone and fludioxonil. However, the fitness of the mutants was reduced compared to their parental strain, showing non-sporulation and moderate virulence. Furthermore, the RFs of these mutants to other fungicides, such as azoxystrobin, fluazinam, difenoconazole, and pyrimethanil, ranged from 10 to 151, indicating the occurrence of MDR. Transcriptive expression analysis using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) revealed that the mutants overexpressed ABC transporter genes, ranging from 2 to 93.7-fold. These mutants carried single-point mutations W647X, R96X, and Q751X within BcBos1 by DNA sequencing. These alterations in BcBos1 conferred resistance to procymidone and other fungicides in the mutants. Molecular docking analysis suggested distinct interactions between procymidone and Bos1 in the B. cinerea standard strain B05.10 or the resistant mutants, suggesting a higher affinity of the former towards binding with the fungicide. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the biological characteristics of the resistant mutants and conducts an initial investigation into its fungicide resistance traits, providing a reference for understanding the causes of multidrug resistance of B. cinerea in the field.

Abstract
Gray mold, caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea, is one of the most important plant diseases worldwide that is prone to developing resistance to fungicides. Currently, the phenylpyrrole fungicide fludioxonil exhibits excellent efficacy in the control of gray mold in China. In this study, we detected the fludioxonil resistance of gray mold disease in Shouguang City of Shandong Province, where we first found fludioxonil-resistant isolates of B. cinerea in 2014. A total of 87 single spore isolates of B. cinerea were obtained from cucumbers in greenhouse, and 3 of which could grow on PDA plates amended with 50 μg/mL fludioxonil that was defined as high-level resistance, with a resistance frequency of 3.4%. Furthermore, the 3 fludioxonil-resistant isolates also showed high-level resistance to the dicarboximide fungicides iprodione and procymidone. Sequencing comparison revealed that all the 3 fludioxonil-resistant isolates had a point mutation at codon 1158, GAC (Asp) → AAC (Asn) in the histidine kinase Bos1, which was proved to be the reason for fludioxonil resistance. In addition, the fludioxonil-resistant isolates possessed an impaired biological fitness compared to the sensitive isolates based on the results of mycelial growth, conidiation, virulence, and osmotic stress tolerance determination. Taken together, our results indicate that the high-level resistance to fludioxonil caused by the Bos1 point mutation (D1158N) has emerged in the field gray mold disease, and the resistance risk is relatively high, and fludioxonil should be used sparingly.

Multiple and multidrug resistance in Botrytis cinerea: molecular mechanisms of MLR/MDR strains in Greece and effects of co-existence of different resistance mechanisms on fungicide sensitivity. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1273193.

Abstract
Botrytis cinerea is a high-risk pathogen for fungicide resistance development. Within the fungal populations, strains have developed multiple mutations in different target genes leading to multiple resistance (MLR) or mutations associated with overexpression of efflux transporters leading to multidrug resistance (MDR). These types of resistance are a major threat, and their successful management is a major challenge. The current study was initiated to a) determine frequencies of MLR/MDR strains in populations originating from several crops, b) identify the types of MDR that occur in Greece, and c) determine interactions between MLR and MDR at the level of sensitivity to botryticides. The frequencies of MLR/MDR phenotypes were determined in 515 isolates subjected to bioassays using discriminatory concentrations of thiophanate-methyl, iprodione, cyprodinil, fenhexamid, boscalid, fluopyram, fludioxonil, pyraclostrobin, and tolnaftate. Interestingly, 7.8% and 31.3% of isolates from strawberry and rootstock seedlings were resistant to every single fungicide class, while MDR phenotypes from strawberries, rootstocks, and tomatoes accounted for 26%, 87%, and 13.4%, respectively. The MLR and MDR isolates were further molecularly analyzed regarding genes erg27, sdhB, Bcpos5, and Mrr1, responsible for resistance to fenhexamid, boscalid and fluopyram, cyprodinil, and MDR, respectively. The different mutations' presence was determined along with a new mutation in Mrr1 leading to MDR. MDR isolates were characterized as MDR1 or MDR1h based on the presence of a 3-bp deletion in Mrr1. MDR1h was predominant in isolates from rootstocks and MDR1 from tomatoes and strawberries, whereas the most frequent target-site mutations were F412S (erg27), H272R (sdhB), and L412F (Bcpos5). To determine whether the accumulation of target-site mutations along with MDR mutations exhibits an additive effect concerning fungicide resistance, the sensitivity of isolates possessing the predominant target-site mutations was calculated in both the presence and the absence of MDR-associated mutations. EC50 in cyprodinil and boscalid increased to about twofold in the presence of MDR mutations, while there was no difference for fenhexamid. In conclusion, MLR/MDR frequencies are notably high in heavily treated crops in Greece, and the combination of MLR and MDR mutations leads to even higher fungicide resistance levels, highlighting the importance of resistance management.

Abstract
The search for new sustainable alternatives for plant disease control has gained interest in the last decades. Compost extracts are nowadays considered a remarkable alternative to agrochemicals due to their biopesticidal properties. However, these properties could be affected by the different variables of extraction protocols and by starting compost. This work focused on the physicochemical and biological characterization of compost extracts obtained from a wide range of composted materials and different extraction protocols (CEP). CEP-1 and CEP-4 involved incubation at 20 °C for 48 h and 14 days, respectively; CEP-2 incubation for 24 h at 40 °C; while CEP-3 were incubated for 12 h at 70 °C. Electrical conductivity, pH, total organic carbon (TOC) and phenolic content were determined as well as the actinobacterial count and enzyme profiles related to plant pathogen suppression. Additionally, the influence of the different materials and protocols on the in vitro growth inhibition of Alternaria alternata and Botrytis cinerea was determined. The starting materials and extraction protocols significantly influenced the physicochemical and biological characteristics of extracts. Treatments based on long incubation times at 20 °C, as well as those based on short incubation times at 40 °C, resulted in extracts with increased suppressive properties. However, extracts derived from CEP-3 protocol were characterized by high phenolic and TOC content, low functional biodiversity, and a more discreet antagonistic capacity. Therefore, the development and optimization of suitable extraction protocols could lead to compost extracts with increased phytoprotective capacities, thus becoming an effective and sustainable alternative to chemical inputs.

Abstract
Hickory trunk canker (HTC), primarily caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea, is an aggravating disease that threatens an important regional economic tree species of Chinese hickory and few information is available in the control of this disease. Here, the sensitivity of 93 isolates to fludioxonil and the resistance risk were investigated. All the isolates tested were sensitive to fludioxonil and the EC50 ranged from 0.0028 to 0.0569 μg/mL. The tamed fludioxonil-resistant mutants remained highly resistant to fludioxonil even after 10 consecutive transfers to fludioxonil-free PDA plates. As for fitness penalty, the fludioxonil-resistant mutants demonstrated a reduction in conidia production and virulence as well as increased sensitivity to high osmotic stress. While, variations in mycelial growth and responses to SDS and H2O2 were not detected in all the resistant mutants. In addition, the resistant mutants demonstrated positive cross-resistance to iprodione but not to fungicides of other modes of action. Sequential analysis of BdNik1 showed that premature stop codon occurred in all the resistant mutants despite of point mutation (BD16-22R9 and BD16-22R20) or frameshift mutation (BD16-22R8, BD16-22R11 and BD16-22R18). Our study suggested that fludioxonil exhibited excellent inhibition activity on mycelial growth of B. dothidea in vitro, the resistance risk of B. dothidea to fludioxonil should be low to moderate and fludioxonil would be a nice candidate in controlling HTC caused by B. dothidea.

Abstract
Introduction Alternaria solani is a challenging pathogen in the tomato crop globally. Chemical control is a rapid approach, but emerging fungicide resistance has become a severe threat. The present study investigates the use of culture filtrates (CFs) of three species of Trichoderma spp. to control this disease. Methods Highly virulent A. solani strain and three Trichoderma fungal strains viz., T. harzianum (Accession No: MW590687), T. atroviride (Accession No: MW590689) and T. longibrachiatum (Accession No: MW590688) previously isolated by authors were used in this study. The efficacy of culture filtrates (CFs) to mitigate early blight disease were tested under greenhouse and field conditions, experiments were conducted in different seasons of 2020 using a tomato variety "doucen". Results and discussion The CFs of T. harzianum, T. longibrachiatum, and T. atroviride significantly inhibited the in vitro mycelial growth of A. solani (62.5%, 48.73%, and 57.82%, respectively, followed by control 100%). In the GC-MS analysis of Trichoderma CF volatile compounds viz., harzianic acid (61.86%) in T. harzianum, linoleic acid (70.02%) in T. atroviride, and hydroxymethylfurfural (68.08%) in the CFs of T. longibrachiatum, were abundantly present. Foliar application of CFs in the greenhouse considerably reduced the disease severity (%) in all treatments, viz., T. harzianum (18.03%), T. longibrachiatum (31.91%), and T. atroviride (23.33%), followed by infected control (86.91%), and positively affected the plant biomarkers. In the greenhouse, the plants treated with CFs demonstrated higher flavonoids after 6 days of inoculation, whereas phenolic compounds increased after 2 days. The CF-treated plants demonstrated higher antioxidant enzymes, i.e., phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD), after 4 days, whereas polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was higher after 6 days of inoculation, followed by healthy and infected controls. In open field conditions, disease severity in CF-treated plants was reduced in both seasons as compared to naturally infected plants, whereas CF-treated plants exhibited a higher fruit yield than controls. The present results conclude that CFs can be a potential biocontrol candidate and a promising alternative to the early blight pathogen for sustainable production.

Botrytis cinerea tolerates phytoalexins produced by Solanaceae and Fabaceae plants through an efflux transporter BcatrB and metabolizing enzymes. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1177060. [PMID: 37332725 PMCID: PMC10273015 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1177060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023]
Abstract
Botrytis cinerea, a plant pathogenic fungus with a wide host range, has reduced sensitivity to fungicides as well as phytoalexins, threatening cultivation of economically important fruits and vegetable crops worldwide. B. cinerea tolerates a wide array of phytoalexins, through efflux and/or enzymatic detoxification. Previously, we provided evidence that a distinctive set of genes were induced in B. cinerea when treated with different phytoalexins such as rishitin (produced by tomato and potato), capsidiol (tobacco and bell pepper) and resveratrol (grape and blueberry). In this study, we focused on the functional analyses of B. cinerea genes implicated in rishitin tolerance. LC/MS profiling revealed that B. cinerea can metabolize/detoxify rishitin into at least 4 oxidized forms. Heterologous expression of Bcin08g04910 and Bcin16g01490, two B. cinerea oxidoreductases upregulated by rishitin, in a plant symbiotic fungus Epichloë festucae revealed that these rishitin-induced enzymes are involved in the oxidation of rishitin. Expression of BcatrB, encoding an exporter of structurally unrelated phytoalexins and fungicides, was significantly upregulated by rishitin but not by capsidiol and was thus expected to be involved in the rishitin tolerance. Conidia of BcatrB KO (ΔbcatrB) showed enhanced sensitivity to rishitin, but not to capsidiol, despite their structural similarity. ΔbcatrB showed reduced virulence on tomato, but maintained full virulence on bell pepper, indicating that B. cinerea activates BcatrB by recognizing appropriate phytoalexins to utilize it in tolerance. Surveying 26 plant species across 13 families revealed that the BcatrB promoter is mainly activated during the infection of B. cinerea in plants belonging to the Solanaceae, Fabaceae and Brassicaceae. The BcatrB promoter was also activated by in vitro treatments of phytoalexins produced by members of these plant families, namely rishitin (Solanaceae), medicarpin and glyceollin (Fabaceae), as well as camalexin and brassinin (Brassicaceae). Consistently, ΔbcatrB showed reduced virulence on red clover, which produces medicarpin. These results suggest that B. cinerea distinguishes phytoalexins and induces differential expression of appropriate genes during the infection. Likewise, BcatrB plays a critical role in the strategy employed by B. cinerea to bypass the plant innate immune responses in a wide variety of important crops belonging to the Solanaceae, Brassicaceae and Fabaceae.

Abstract
In response to pathogen infection, some plants increase production of secondary metabolites, which not only enhance plant defense but also induce fungicide resistance, especially multidrug resistance (MDR) in the pathogen through preadaptation. To investigate the cause of MDR in Botrytis cinerea, grapes 'Victoria' (susceptible to B. cinerea) and 'Shine Muscat' (resistant to B. cinerea) were inoculated into seedling leaves with B. cinerea, followed by extraction of metabolites from the leaves on days 3, 6, and 9 after inoculation. The extract was analyzed using gas chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass (GC/QTOF) combined with solid-phase microextraction (SPME) for volatile and nonvolatile metabolomic components. Nonvolatile metabolites γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), resveratrol, piceid, and some carbohydrates or amino acids, coupled with volatile metabolites β-ocimene, α-farnesene, caryophyllene, germacrene D, β-copaene, and alkanes, accumulated at a higher level in grape leaves infected with B. cinerea compared to in noninoculated leaves. Among the established metabolic pathways, seven had greater impacts, including aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, galactose metabolism, valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis. Furthermore, isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis; phenylpropanoid biosynthesis; monobactam biosynthesis; tropane, piperidine, and pyridine alkaloid biosynthesis; phenylalanine metabolism; and glucosinolate biosynthesis were related to antifungal activities. Based on liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass (LC/QTOF) detection and bioassay, B. cinerea infection induced production of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) including eugenol, flavanone, reserpine, resveratrol, and salicylic acid, which all have inhibitory activity against B. cinerea. These compounds also promoted overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes, which are involved in induction of MDR in B. cinerea.

Abstract
Botrytis cinerea is a common filamentous phytopathogen that causes serious pre- and postharvest losses worldwide. The phenylpyrrole fungicide fludioxonil has been reported to have high activity against B. cinerea and has been applied to control gray mold in tomato. A total of 206 B. cinerea isolates were collected from tomato greenhouses in Liaoning Province, China, in 2016 and 2017, and sensitivity to fludioxonil was demonstrated by discriminatory concentrations. One highly fludioxonil-resistant isolate, 5 medium-fludioxonil-resistance isolates, and 23 low-fludioxonil-resistance isolates were detected in the field. The fludioxonil-resistant isolates were less fit than the sensitive isolates and presented reduced sporulation, pathogenicity, and mycelial growth and hypersensitivity to osmotic stress, even though sclerotium production had no connection with resistance. Positive cross-resistance was observed between fludioxonil and the dicarboximide fungicides procymidone and iprodione but not between fludioxonil and the fungicides boscalid, fluopyram, fluazinam, and pyrimethanil. Sequence alignment of the BcOS1 gene indicated that the observed sensitivity was identical to that of B05.10 and the low-resistance mutant had two types of mutations, F127S+I365N and A1259T. The medium-resistance mutants had only one type of mutation linked with the 3-aa mutant Q369P+N373S+A1259T, and the highly resistant mutant had a 3-aa mutation with I365S+N373S+A1259T. Molecular docking illustrated that all the resistant isolates showed less affinity than the sensitive isolates with fludioxonil.

Abstract
SYP-34773 is a pyrimidinamine derivative and a novel fungicide modified from diflumetorim. This study determined the antimicrobial spectrum of SYP-34773, which showed it could strongly inhibit the growth of some important plant pathogens including fungi and oomycetes. In particular, Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete sensitive to SYP-34773, and the mycelium growth stage was found to be the most sensitive stage, with an EC50 value of 0.2030 μg/mL. At a concentration of 200 μg/mL, SYP-34773 displayed an excellent control efficacy of 69.55% and 81.48% against potato and tomato blight disease caused by P. infestans under field conditions, respectively. Mode of action investigations showed that this fungicide could cause severe ultrastructure damage to the mycelia of P. infestans, inhibit its respiration, and increase the cell membrane permeability of this pathogen. The results of this study could provide useful information for the fungicide registration and application of SYP-34773 as a novel fungicide.
