Abstract
Phomopsis longicolla, a causal agent of soybean root rot, stem blight, seed decay, pod and stem canker, which seriously affects the yield and quality of soybean production worldwide. The phenylpyrrole fungicide fludioxonil exhibits a broad spectrum and high activity against phytopathogenic fungi. In this study, the baseline sensitivity of 100 P. longicolla isolates collected from the main soybean production areas of China to fludioxonil were determined. The result showed that the EC50 values of all the P. longicolla isolates ranged from 0.013 to 0.035 μg/ml. Furthermore, 12 fludioxonil-resistance (FluR) mutants of P. longicolla were generated from 6 fludioxonil-sensitive (FluS) isolates. and the resistance factors (RF) of 12 FluR mutants were >3500. Sequence alignment showed that multiple mutation types were found in PlOS1, PlOS4 or/and PlOS5 of FluR mutants. All the FluR mutants exhibited fitness penalty in mycelial growth, conidiation, virulence and osmo-adaptation. Under fludioxonil or NaCl treatment condition, the glycerol accumulation was significantly increased in FluS isolates, but was slightly increased in FluR mutants, and the phosphorylation level of most FluR mutants was significantly decreased when compared to the FluS isolates. Additionally, positive cross-resistance was observed between fludioxonil and procymidone but not fludioxonil and pydiflumetofen, pyraclostrobin or fluazinam. This is first reported that the baseline sensitivity of P. longicolla to fludioxonil, as well as the biological and molecular characterizations of P. longicolla FluR mutants to fludioxonil. These results can provide scientific directions for controlling soybean diseases caused by P. longicolla using fludioxonil.

Abstract
Fusarium crown rot (FCR), primarily caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, poses significant threats to cereal crops worldwide. Prothioconazole is a demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicide used to control FCR. However, the risk of resistance in F. pseudograminearum to prothioconazole has not yet been evaluated. In this study, the sensitivity of a total of 255 F. pseudograminearum strains obtained from Henan Province, China to prothioconazole were determined by the mycelial growth inhibition. The results showed that the effective concentration to 50% growth inhibition (EC50) of these strains ranged from 0.4228 μg/mL to 2.5284 μg/mL, with a mean EC50 value of 1.0692 ± 0.4527 μg/mL (mean ± SD). Thirty prothioconazole-resistant mutants were obtained out of six selected sensitive parental strains by means of fungicide taming. The resistant mutants exhibited defects in vegetative growth, conidia production, and pathogenicity on wheat seedlings compared to their parental strains. Under ion, cell wall, and temperature stress conditions but not osmotic stress, all the mutants exhibited decreased growth rates compared with their parental strains, which was consistent with the control treatment. Cross-resistance test showed that there was a cross-resistance relationship between prothioconazole and four DMI fungicides, including prochloraz, metconazole, tebuconazole and hexaconazole, but no cross-resistance was observed between prothioconazole and carbendazim, phenamacril, fludioxonil, or azoxystrobin. Although no site mutation occurred on Cyp51a and Cyp51b genes, the constitutive expression level of the Cyp51a gene was significantly increased in all mutants. After being treated with prothioconazole, the Cyp51a and Cyp51b genes were significantly increased in both the resistant mutants and their parents. These results suggested that the resistance to prothioconazole of the mutants may be attributed to the changes of the relative expression level of Cyp51a and Cyp51b genes. Taken together, these results could provide a theoretical basis for the scientific use of prothioconazole in the field and fungicide resistance management strategies.

Abstract
Fusarium crown rot (FCR) on wheat is a soil-borne disease that affects the yield and quality of the produce. In 2020, 297 Fusarium pseudograminearum isolates were isolated from diseased FCR wheat samples from eight regional areas across Hebei Province in China. Baseline sensitivity of F. pseudograminearum to fludioxonil (0.0613 ± 0.0347 μg/mL) and tebuconazole (0.2328 ± 0.0840 μg/mL) were constructed based on the in vitro tests of 71 and 83 isolates, respectively. The resistance index analysis showed no resistance isolate to fludioxonil but two low-resistance isolates to tebuconazole in 2020. There was an increased frequency of resistant isolates from 2021 to 2022 based on the baseline sensitivity for tebuconazole. There was no cross-resistance between fludioxonil and tebuconazole. This study provides a significant theoretical and practical basis for monitoring the resistance of F. pseudograminearum to fungicides, especially the control of FCR.

Abstract
Peanut stem rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is a serious soil-borne disease and poses a threat to the peanut production. The antibiotic fungicide tetramycin has a broad antifungal spectrum against multiple pathogens and possess low environmental risks. In current study, a total of 250 isolates collected from Huanghuai peanut-growing region of China (Henan, Shandong and Hebei Province) were used to establish the baseline sensitivity of S. rolfsii to tetramycin. The baseline sensitivity curve was unimodal and distributed from 0.01 to 0.36 mg/L, with a mean EC50 (50% effective concentration) value of 0.11 ± 0.06 mg/L. Tetramycin also had strong inhibitory activity on the formation and germination of sclerotia. There was no significant correlation of S. rolfsii sensitivity to tetramycin and other commonly used SDHI (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor), QoI (quinone outside respiration inhibitor) and DMI (demethylation inhibitor) fungicides. Moreover, tetramycin significantly increased the cell membrane permeability and reduced the oxalate acid content. Greenhouse experiments showed that tetramycin has both protective and curative efficacy against S. rolfsii, while protective efficacy was higher than curative efficacy. Anyhow, the bioactivity of tetramycin is similar (curative efficacy) or higher (protective efficacy) than the control fungicide validamycin. In terms of application method, root drench may be more suitable for tetramycin than spraying, because root drench of tetramycin obtained a higher efficacy. These results indicated that tetramycin may be a potential alternative fungicide for the efficient control of peanut stem rot.

Abstract
Green mold, caused by Penicillium digitatum, is the most important citrus postharvest disease worldwide and often causes substantial economic losses to the citrus industry. The demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides are highly effective against a broad range of fungal pathogens, but the DMI fungicide propiconazole has not been registered yet in China for the control of citrus green mold. In this study, baseline sensitivity of P. digitatum to propiconazole was determined. The frequency distribution of logarithms of EC50 values for 118 isolates collected from five regions in China was bimodal, and among the 118 isolates, 18 isolates were less sensitive or had low resistance to propiconazole. The mean EC50 value of the sensitive 100 isolates was 0.104 mg/L. Preventive control efficacies on Satsuma mandarin for propiconazole at 200 and 400 mg/L were 63.1 and 84.3%, respectively. The fruit treated with propiconazole at 40 and 100 mg/L produced significantly fewer conidia, and the virulence of the conidia decreased by 12.3 and 14.8%, respectively. Studies with propidium iodide showed that the membrane integrity was damaged for 25.6% of conidia produced on PDA amended with propiconazole at 0.1 mg/L. Fluorescence microscopy observations of P. digitatum conidia stained with 2,7-dichlorofluorescin showed that propiconazole significantly induced the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Compared with the sensitive isolates, no point mutations were detected in either the coding or promoter region of the target gene CYP51A of the isolates with low resistance to propiconazole. However, the relative expression levels of CYP51A for three resistant isolates were higher than sensitive isolates, and the mean relative expression was 2.08 for resistant isolates versus 0.62 for sensitive isolates in the absence of propiconazole and 3.12 versus 1.44 in the presence of propiconazole. These results indicate increased expression of CYP51A is the molecular mechanism for low resistance of P. digitatum to propiconazole.

Abstract
The apple Valsa canker caused by Valsa mali is a devastating branch disease that has seriously threatened the development of the apple industry worldwide. In current study, a total of 115 V. mali strains collected from different apple orchards in Shaanxi Province of China during 2016 and 2017 were tested for their sensitivity to flusilazole. The average EC50 (effective concentrations causing 50% mycelial growth inhibition) value of all tested strains for flusilazole was 0.0892 (±0.0036) μg/mL and the frequency distribution of the EC50 values was unimodal. Flusilazole exhibited both excellent protective and curative activity on detached apple branches, which was significantly better than the commonly used fungicide thiophanate-methyl. After flusilazole treatment, mycelia twisted with offshoot of top increased, the V. mali strains lost the ability of fruiting body production, and cell membrane permeability of the mycelia increased while ergosterol content and pectinase activity decreased. The expression of pectinase genes involved in virulence down-regulated after flusilazole treatment. This study is the first report on the baseline sensitivity of V. mali to flusilazole. These results indicated that flusilazole has a great potential to play an important role in the management of Valsa canker.

Abstract
Tetramycin is a novel polyene antibiotic that has exhibited excellent inhibitory activity against many plant pathogens. In this study, the sensitivity of Corynespora cassiicola to tetramycin was assessed in vitro using a series of 91 isolates, and its effects on hyphae and conidia were evaluated. Preventive and curative efficacies of tetramycin against Corynespora leaf spot were evaluated using detached cucumber leaves and potted cucumber plants. The control efficacy of tetramycin against the pathogen was also determined under field conditions. Measurement of baseline sensitivity suggested that the frequency distribution of tetramycin fits a unimodal curve. Among several life stages, spore germination was most severely inhibited by tetramycin, whereas mycelial growth was found to be the least sensitive. Microscopy observation revealed that tetramycin treatment leads to abnormal morphological development of C. cassiicola. Overall, tetramycin exhibited excellent curative and preventive activities against C. cassiicola on both cucumber leaves and potted cucumber plants. Furthermore, tetramycin significantly reduced the disease severity of Corynespora leaf spot in the field. The results from this study showed that tetramycin may play an important role in Corynespora leaf spot disease management and promote its introduction into fungicide-application programs.

Abstract
Benzovindiflupyr is a novel member of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides. The filamentous fungus Bipolaris maydis Nisik. et Miyake was the causal agent of southern corn leaf blight (SCLB). Here, baseline sensitivity of B. maydis to benzovindiflupyr was established by mycelial growth and conidium germination methods using 96 B. maydis isolates collected from various places of Jiangsu Province of China, and EC50 values ranged from 0.0321 to 0.9149 μg/ml with the mean value of 0.3446 (±0.2248) μg/ml for mycelial growth, and 0.1864 to 0.964 μg/ml with the mean value of 0.5060 (±0.2094) μg/ml for conidium germination respectively. Treated with benzovindiflupyr, the distribution of nuclei and septum of hyphae did not change, but hyphae of offshoot and conidial production of B. maydis decreased significantly, the cell membrane permeability increased. The result of transmission electron microscope showed that the cross section of hypha was out of shape, the cell wall became thin and sparse, the cell membrane were distinctly damaged, organelles dissolved and vacuolated, and the cell nearly broke up. The results suggested that benzovindiflupyr had strong activity against mycelial growth and conidial production of B. maydis by damaging cell wall, membrane and organelles. The protective and curative activity assays for benzovindiflupyr indicated that benzovindiflupyr exhibited excellent suppression of B. maydis development on detached corn leaves. In protective activity assay with application of benzovindiflupyr at 10 μg/ml, the control efficacy reached to 100%. In curative activity assay with application of benzovindiflupyr at 50 μg/ml, the control efficacy reached to 90.72%. This is the first report of baseline sensitivity of B. maydis to benzovindiflupyr and its biological activity against B. maydis. It is recommended that benzovindiflupyr is a excellent candidate for controlling SCLB.

Abstract
Pyrisoxazole is a pyridine compound of demethylation inhibitor fungicides. In this study, baseline sensitivity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum to pyrisoxazole was determined using 166 strains from the oilseed rape fields in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The EC50 values for mycelial growth inhibition ranged from 0.0214 to 0.5443 μg mL-1, with a mean EC50 value of 0.2329 ± 0.1048 μg mL-1 and were normally distributed. The EC50 values had no significant difference among three populations from 2014, 2015, and 2016. There was no correlation with sensitivity between pyrisoxazole and carbendazim or iprodione. After treated with pyrisoxazole, we observed increased cell membrane permeability, and decreased exopolysaccharide and oxalic acid production, which can contribute to reduced virulence of S. sclerotiorum and lead to failure of disease infection. Protective and curative activity tests showed that pyrisoxazole exhibited excellent protective and curative activity against S. sclerotiorum in oilseed rape, and protective activity was better than curative activity. Compared with the currently used fungicides, pyrisoxazole not only exhibited excellent control efficacy on Sclerotinia stem rot, but also dramatically reduced the doses of fungicides in the field trials. Overall, these data provide more references for revealing pharmacological effect of pyrisoxazole against S. sclerotiorum and managing Sclerotinia stem rot on oilseed rape caused by benzimidazole- and dicarboximide-resistant populations.

Abstract
The novel fungicide oxathiapiprolin has potential for the control of downy mildew of cucumber, which is caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis. In this study, an in vitro bioassay with detached leaves was used to determine the baseline sensitivity to oxathiapiprolin for 77 Ps. cubensis isolates from 11 provinces in China. The baseline sensitivity curve was continuous, and the average EC50 value was 2.23 × 10-4 μg ml-1. In field trials, the control of downy mildew of cucumber was greater with oxathiapiprolin at 20 or 30 g a.i. ha-1 than with dimethomorph at 262.5 g a.i. ha-1. Oxathiapiprolin was taken up by cucumber roots and transported upwards to stems and leaves. The full length of PscORP1, the gene that encodes the target protein of oxathiapiprolin in Ps. cubensis, was sequenced for the first time. Our results suggested that oxathiapiprolin will be an excellent alternative fungicide for control of cucumber downy mildew. However, as Ps. cubensis is a high-risk pathogen, resistance development to oxathiapiprolin should be monitored and managed.

Abstract
In the current study, baseline sensitivity of Valsa mali to propamidine was determined using 80 strains collected from apple orchards in Shaanxi Province, China. The median effective concentration (EC50) values for propamidine inhibiting mycelial growth ranged from 0.086 to 0.852 μg/mL, with a mean of 0.405 ± 0.137 μg/mL. After treated with propamidine, mycelia were contorted with an increased number of branches, loss of fruiting body production, and decreased cell membrane permeability. Moreover, the enzyme activities of the complexes I, II, IV and ATPase in the mitochondrial respiratory chain were increased significantly, while the enzyme activities of complexes III decreased. Importantly, both on detached leaves and branches of apple trees, propamidine applied at 100 μg/mL exhibited over 75% protective and curative efficacies, which were even better than the efficacies obtained by carbendazim at the same concentration. These results indicated that propamidine could be used as an alternative compound in controlling Valsa canker and mitochondrial respiratory chains might be correlated with the action mode of propamidine. This study encourages further investigation for the action mechanism of propamidine against plant pathogens and the information could be valuable for synthesis of new antifungal drugs with novel modes of action.

Abstract
Bipolaris maydis (anamorph: Cochliobolus heterostrophus) is the causal agent of Southern Corn Leaf Blight (SCLB), leading to huge annually losses worldwide. Although fludioxonil, a phenylpyrrole fungicide with a broad spectrum of activity, was introduced in the 1990s, no baseline sensitivity has been established for B. maydis. One hundred field isolates were used to establish a baseline sensitivity of B. maydis against fludioxonil during 2015-2016. The results showed that the baseline sensitivity was distributed as a unimodal curve with a mean EC50 value of 0.044±0.022μgmL-1. With repeated exposure to fludioxonil, a total of five fludioxonil-resistant mutants (RF>100, RF=Resistance factor) were obtained in the laboratory. Compared with the parental isolates, the five fludioxonil-resistant mutants showed decreased fitness in sporulation and virulence, and exhibited different features of sensitivity to various stresses (oxidation and osmotic pressure, cell membrane and cell wall inhibitors), but not in mycelial growth on PDA without stress amendation. The five fludioxonil-resistant mutants showed a positive cross-resistance between fludioxonil and the dicarboximide fungicide procymidone, but not between fludioxonil and boscalid or fluazinam. All mutants exhibited stable resistance to fludioxonil after 10 transfers, as indicated by resistance factor values that ranged from 116.82 to 445.59. When treated with 1.0 M NaCl, all the fludioxonil-resistant mutants showed greater mycelial glycerol content than corresponding parental isolates. Sequencing alignment results of Bmos1 indicated that mutant R27-5 had a single point mutation (Z1125K), while the mutant R104 had a 34-bp deletion fragment between the codons of amino acid residues 1125 to 1236 and encodes a putative attenuated 1133-AA protein. The 34-bp deletion fragment led to not only a 11-AA deletion(DNAVNQKLAVR), but also the resulting frameshift mutation and early stop. The mutations of R27-5 and R104 were located in the Rec domain of the Bmos1 gene. No mutations at the Bmos1 were detected in the other three resistant mutants R27-1, R27-2 and R32.

Abstract
Propamidine is an aromatic diamidine compound. In the current study, baseline sensitivity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum to propamidine was determined using 78 strains collected from the oilseed rape fields without a previous history of propamidine usage. The median effective concentration (EC50) values for propamidine inhibiting mycelial growth ranged from 0.406 to 3.647μg/mL, with a mean of 1.616±0.217μg/mL. There was no correlation between sensitivity to propamidine and sensitivity to dimethachlon or carbendazim. After treated with propamidine, mycelia were thinner with irregular distortion and more branches; cell wall became thicker with uneven distribution of cytoplasm than untreated control. In addition, sclerotia production, cell membrane permeability and oxalic acid content significantly decreased. On detached oilseed rape leaves, propamidine exhibited better control efficacy than carbendazim at the same concentration whether the leaves were inoculated with carbendazim-sensitive or resistant strains. All the results showed that propamidine exhibited strong antifungal activity and potential application in controlling S. sclerotiorum. Importantly, these data will provide more information on understanding the mode of action of propamidine against S. sclerotiorum and should be valuable for development of new antifungal drugs.

Abstract
During 2010-2012, a total of 120 isolates of Rhizoctonia cerealis were collected from wheat with symptoms of sharp eyespot in four provinces (Henan, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu) in China. All the isolates were determined for baseline sensitivity to thifluzamide, a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) with strong antifungal activity. The sampled pathogenic populations, never exposed to SDHIs, had similar sensitivity to trifluzamide (0.025-0.359 µg/ml) in the four regions and over the two years. The baseline sensitivity was distributed as a skewed unimodal curve with a mean EC50 value (effective concentrations for 50% inhibiting mycelial growth) of 0.064 ± 0.013 µg/ml. The resistance risk of R. cerealis to thifluzamide was further evaluated in vitro. Two thifluzamide-resistant mutants of R. cerealis were obtained by culturing on thifluzamide-amended plates. The resistance factors (RF = EC50 value of a mutant/EC50 value of the wild type progenitor of the mutant) were 120 and 40 for two R. cerealis mutants, respectively. All the mutants exhibited similar fitness after 10 successive transfers when compared to their wild-type parents in mycelial growth, sclerotia production, and virulence. However, the two thifluzamide-resistant mutants differed significantly in sensitivity to boscalid and flutolanil. Therefore, a low-to-moderate risk of resistance development was recommended for thifluzamide.
