江西省番茄绵疫病菌对嘧菌酯的敏感性检测及抗性风险分析

为明确番茄绵疫病菌对嘧菌酯的敏感性，采用菌丝生长速率法测定了2018—2019年从江西省番茄主产区采集分离得到的58株绵疫病菌Phytophthora capsici对嘧菌酯的敏感性，并以敏感菌株YD5为亲本，通过紫外线诱导获得了4株抗性突变体，研究了突变体的生物学性状；进而采用菌丝生长速率法测定了敏感菌株YD5及其4个抗性突变体对烯酰吗啉和甲霜灵的EC₅₀值，分析嘧菌酯与烯酰吗啉和甲霜灵是否存在交互抗性。结果表明:嘧菌酯对绵疫病菌菌丝生长有较强的抑制作用，其对58个绵疫病菌的EC₅₀值介于0.1867~1.6239 μg/mL之间，平均EC₅₀值为 (0.8606±0.3318) μg/mL，58个菌株对嘧菌酯的敏感性频率分布呈正态分布，表明番茄绵疫病菌对嘧菌酯仍然较为敏感。通过紫外线诱导获得4个抗性突变体，突变体的抗药性能够稳定遗传，且在致病力与游动孢子萌发率方面与亲本菌株无显著差异，产孢量较亲本菌株显著下降。嘧菌酯与烯酰吗啉和甲霜灵之间均不存在交互抗药性。研究表明，番茄绵疫病菌对嘧菌酯具有中等抗性风险，一旦田间出现抗性菌株，应立即采取措施控制菌群的转移扩散。同时，需加强番茄绵疫病菌对嘧菌酯的田间抗性监测，在生产过程中轮用或混用不同作用机制的药剂，以避免或延缓抗药性的发展。     

马铃薯晚疫病菌对烯酰吗啉的敏感性基线及其室内抗药突变体的研究

 2003-2004年在内蒙古和黑龙江省共分离获得100株马铃薯晚疫病菌,并测定了这些菌株对烯酰吗啉和甲霜灵的敏感性。结果表明,不同地区、不同年份的马铃薯晚疫病菌对烯酰吗啉的敏感性无显著差异,其敏感性呈连续的单峰曲线分布,EC₅₀在0.0631-0.2206μg/mL之间,最不敏感菌株是最敏感菌株的3.1倍,平均为(0.1153±0.0308)μg/mL,未出现敏感性下降的抗药性亚群体,因此可作为马铃薯晚疫病菌对烯酰吗啉的敏感性基线;64%的供试菌株对甲霜灵的敏感性下降,甲霜灵与烯酰吗啉之间不存在交互抗药性。采用紫外线诱变菌丝的方法仅从3个菌株中的1个菌株获得了3%突变频率的抗烯酰吗啉突变体,抗性倍数为1.5-1.9,没有获得高抗药水平的突变体。这些突变体与氟吗啉之间具有正交互抗药性,而与霜脲氰或嘧菌酯之间无交互抗药性;与野生亲本菌株相比,抗药突变体的生长速率和产孢子囊能力显著下降,不利于抗药群体的发展。但由于马铃薯晚疫病菌被杀菌剂抗性行动委员会认为是高抗药性风险病原菌,建议生产上应将烯酰吗啉与其它无交互抗性的药剂交替使用或混合使用,以避免或延缓抗药性的产生。     

番茄叶霉病菌对嘧菌酯的抗性检测及抗性风险评估

利用孢子萌发法测定了从河北、浙江、江苏、山东、四川等省田间采集的97个番茄叶霉病菌菌株对嘧菌酯的敏感性。结果表明,田间番茄叶霉病菌已对嘧菌酯产生不同程度的抗药性。97个菌株可分为敏感菌株(EC50值50值5.4~54 μg/mL),中抗菌株(EC50值54~270 μg/mL)、高抗菌株(EC50值270~1 350 μg/mL)、特高抗菌株(EC50值>1 350 μg/mL) 5种类型,分别占55.67%、14.43%、11.34%、10.31%和8.25%。其中从未用过甲氧基丙烯酸酯类杀菌剂的27个菌株的EC50平均值为(0.544±0.349) μg/mL,可作为敏感基残;高抗和特高抗菌株集中在常施用甲氧基丙烯酸酯类杀菌剂的河北定州。通过紫外线诱导和药剂驯化的方法获得了番茄叶霉病菌5个抗嘧菌酯突变体,其抗药性不稳定,在不含药PDA平板上继代培养后抗药性水平下降,甚至恢复至敏感状态;除突变体cf 21M1的产孢量高于其亲本外,抗药性突变体的菌落生长速率、产孢量、孢子萌发率均显著低于其亲本菌株,所有抗嘧菌酯突变体及其亲本菌株接种于番茄离体叶片后,突变体病情指数与亲本菌株之间没有显著差异。嘧菌酯与多菌灵、苯醚甲环唑之间不存在交互抗药性。田间抗药性检测及室内抗药性风险评估结果表明,番茄叶霉病菌对嘧菌酯具有较高的抗药性风险。     

山东省和河北省黄瓜霜霉病菌对烯酰吗啉及双炔酰菌胺的抗性监测

 为明确黄瓜霜霉病菌对烯酰吗啉及双炔酰菌胺的抗性时空动态及这两种药剂对黄瓜霜霉病的田间防效,采用叶盘漂浮法检测了2011~2016年采自河北省和山东省黄瓜主产区的霜霉病菌1 821个菌株对烯酰吗啉及双炔酰菌胺的敏感性,并采用茎叶喷雾法对这两种药剂的田间防效进行评估。结果表明:黄瓜霜霉病菌1 821个菌株对烯酰吗啉和双炔酰菌胺抗性频率分别为88.5%和34.3%,供试菌株中对烯酰吗啉的低抗菌株及对双炔酰菌胺的敏感菌株占优势,平均抗性倍数分别为8.92和2.44,抗性指数分别为0.42和0.27。黄瓜霜霉病菌对这两种药剂的抗性频率、抗性倍数及抗性指数随着监测年限及地域的不同而波动。在河北定兴和山东寿光日光温室进行的田间药效试验中,按照药剂田间推荐剂量喷施4次,50%烯酰吗啉可湿性粉剂和250 g·L^-1双炔酰菌胺悬浮剂对黄瓜霜霉病表现出良好的防效(85%以上),与两地黄瓜霜霉病菌对烯酰吗啉产生低抗、对双炔酰菌胺敏感的监测结果一致。由此推断,50%烯酰吗啉可湿性粉剂和250 g·L^-1双炔酰菌胺悬浮剂可在对甲霜灵(或精甲霜灵)、噁霜灵及嘧菌酯普遍产生抗性的地区,作为58%甲霜灵·代森锰锌WP、68%精甲霜灵·代森锰锌WG、64%噁霜灵·代森锰锌WP 和250 g·L^-1嘧菌酯SC的替代药剂单独使用或与不同作用机理的杀菌剂混用,防治黄瓜霜霉病。     

黄瓜霜霉病菌对双炔酰菌胺的敏感基线及其抗性突变体生物学性状研究

为建立黄瓜霜霉病菌对双炔酰菌胺的敏感基线及评估其抗性风险,采用叶盘漂浮法测定了采自河北、山东未使用过羧酸酰胺类(CAAs)药剂地区的69株黄瓜霜霉病菌(Pseudoperonospora cubensis)对双炔酰菌胺的敏感性,并对黄瓜霜霉病菌抗双炔酰菌胺突变体的获得方法及突变体的生物学性状进行了研究。结果表明:69株黄瓜霜霉病菌对双炔酰菌胺的平均EC50值为(0.358±0.144)μg/mL,不同敏感性菌株的频率呈连续单峰曲线分布,未发现敏感性下降的亚群体,因此可将其作为黄瓜霜霉病菌对双炔酰菌胺的敏感基线;通过药剂驯化的方法未获得黄瓜霜霉病菌抗双炔酰菌胺的突变体;而通过紫外诱导的方法获得了6个抗双炔酰菌胺的突变体,其抗性水平介于5.74~22.96倍之间,突变频率为1.09×10-7,适合度显著低于其亲本菌株,且抗药性不能稳定遗传;双炔酰菌胺与甲霜灵、嘧菌酯、霜脲氰、氟吡菌胺之间无交互抗性关系,与烯酰吗啉之间有交互抗性关系。据此推测黄瓜霜霉病菌对双炔酰菌胺的抗性风险为低到中等。     

辣椒疫霉对烯酰吗啉的敏感性基线及室内抗药突变体研究

 采用菌丝生长速率法测定了125株采自河北、内蒙古、陕西、安徽和北京等地区的辣椒疫霉病菌对烯酰吗啉的敏感性,结果表明,其EC₅₀值分布于0.126~0.318μg/mL之间,最不敏感菌株是最敏感菌株的2.5倍,平均EC₅₀=(0.218±0.0368)μg/mL。125个菌株对烯酰吗啉的敏感性分布呈单峰曲线,未出现抗性的病原菌亚群体,可将该单峰曲线作为辣椒疫霉对烯酰吗啉的敏感性基线,将烯酰吗啉对该病原群体的平均EC₅₀值作为田间抗药性监测的参考标准。通过紫外诱变敏感菌株N-7的菌丝获得了12株抗烯酰吗啉的突变体,抗性指数在16.38~132.15之间;通过紫外诱变敏感菌株DZ-16的游动孢子获得1株抗性指数为680倍的高抗药水平的突变体。突变体的部分生物学性状研究表明,其致病力与敏感菌株相当;大部分突变体产生孢子囊的能力与亲本菌株相比均有不同程度的提高;离体条件下,突变体和亲本菌株释放游动孢子的能力相当;突变体的菌丝生长速率与亲本菌株相比具有不同程度的差异。测定了敏感亲本菌株和突变体的交配型,均为A1型菌株,经紫外诱变后交配型没有发生改变。综合分析表明,抗性突变体的产生有利于抗药性群体的发展。为避免和延缓抗药性的产生,生产上应将烯酰吗啉与其它无交互抗药性的杀菌剂交替使用。     

葡萄霜霉病菌和马铃薯晚疫病菌对三种杀菌剂的抗药性风险研究

 葡萄霜霉病菌经UV诱导4次得5个抗烯酰吗啉菌株,其适合度较原菌株B951差,竞争力较弱,该菌经药剂驯化7代对恶霜灵产生抗性,但未对烯酰吗啉及霜脲氰产生抗性,UV诱导4次对霜脲氰及恶霜灵均未产生抗性。相比之下,马铃薯晚疫病菌经UV诱导11次得7个抗恶霜灵菌株,其中菌株UO1适合度好于其原菌株,竞争力较强。马铃薯晚疫病菌经过药剂驯化3代对恶霜灵产生了抗性,但是经UV诱导8~11次和药剂驯化30代对烯酰吗啉和霜脲氰仍保持敏感。     

辣椒疫霉对双炔酰菌胺敏感性及对其它杀菌剂的交互抗性

采用菌丝生长速率法测定了不同地区115个辣椒疫霉菌株对双炔酰菌胺的敏感性,同时测定了紫外诱导和药剂驯化的10个抗性突变体及其4个亲本菌株对双炔酰菌胺、烯酰吗啉、甲霜灵、嘧菌酯和霜脲氰的敏感性。山东青州、寿光和河北定兴、藁城4地辣椒疫霉菌株均对双炔酰菌胺较敏感,且敏感性差异不显著。不同抗性水平菌株对5种药剂的敏感性测定和相关性分析结果显示,双炔酰菌胺与其它几类药剂之间均不存在交互抗性。10个抗性突变体继代培养11代后,8个抗性突变体抗药性不能稳定遗传;2个抗性突变体抗药性不仅能够稳定遗传,且EC₅₀值维持在很高水平,分别为1 429.524 μg/mL和6 872.476 μg/mL,因此,双炔酰菌胺的连续使用有利于抗药群体的发展。     

中国4省份葡萄霜霉病菌群体对烯酰吗啉的抗性及适合度

为明确我国山西、山东、河北和云南省葡萄霜霉病菌对烯酰吗啉的抗性以及田间病菌群体的适合度,本研究采用Taqman-MGB技术检测了2020年-2021年采自上述4省份292株葡萄霜霉病菌对烯酰吗啉的抗性频率;采用叶盘法测定了田间抗性菌株与敏感菌株的适合度。结果表明,上述4个地区的平均烯酰吗啉抗性频率及抗性等位基因频率分别为64.0%和74.7%,其中山东省蓬莱区最高(91.2%和96.3%),河北省廊坊市(73.8%和85.0%)和云南省宾川县(75.0%和82.6%)次之,山西省清徐县(16.7%和34.7%)最低。适合度分析发现,田间抗性菌株的产孢能力明显高于敏感菌株,但二者的复合适合度指数无显著差异。上述结果表明,4省份霜霉病菌群体均对烯酰吗啉产生了不同程度的抗性,田间抗性菌株与敏感菌株相比无明显适合度变化。     

水稻稻瘟病菌对烯肟菌胺的抗性风险评估及抗性机制初探

 采用菌丝生长速率法测定了100株采自我国主要水稻产区的水稻稻瘟病菌对烯肟菌胺的敏感性, 结果表明, 其EC₅₀分布于0.011 1~0.295 6 μg·mL^-1, 平均EC₅₀=(0.078 6±0.056 1) μg·mL^-1。供试菌株对烯肟菌胺的敏感性分布呈单侧峰曲线, 未出现抗药性亚群体, 可将该曲线作为稻病瘟菌对烯肟菌胺的敏感性基线。通过室内药剂驯化获得了7株抗药突变体, 突变频率为1.11×10^-4, 其中2株高抗突变体NJ0811-I和A10的抗性水平大于1 000倍, 抗药性性状能稳定遗传, 致病力显著弱于其亲本菌株;5株低抗突变体抗性水平在2.05～4.55倍之间, 抗药稳定性差, 适合度与亲本无显著性差异。交互抗药性结果表明, 烯肟菌胺与嘧菌酯存在正交互抗药性, 与田间防治稻瘟病常用药剂稻瘟灵、异稻瘟净无交互抗药性。综合分析表明, 稻瘟病菌对烯肟菌胺可能存在低到中等抗性风险。进一步克隆了抗药突变体及其亲本的cytb基因, CYTB氨基酸序列比对结果表明, 2株高抗突变体均在143位由甘氨酸突变为丝氨酸(G143S), 建立了高抗菌株的AS-PCR分子检测方法;而5株低抗突变体cytb基因未发生点突变, 推测可能存在其他的抗性分子机制。     

Effect of Phenylpyrrole-resistance Mutations on Ecological Fitness of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Botrytis cinerea</Emphasis> and their Genetical Basis in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ustilago maydis</Emphasis>

Mutants of Botrytis cinerea and Ustilago maydis highly resistant to fludioxonil were isolated at a high frequency, after nitrosoguanidine or UV mutagenesis, respectively, and selection on media containing fludioxonil. Tests on the response of mutant strains to high osmotic pressure resulted in the identification of two fludioxonil-resistant phenotypes (FLD_osm/s and FLD_osm/r), regarding the sensitivity to high osmolarity. Approximately 95% of fludioxonil-resistant mutants were found to be more sensitive to high osmotic pressure than the wild-type parent strains. Genetic analysis of phenylpyrrole-resistance in the phytopathogenic basidiomycete U. maydis, showed that fludioxonil-resistance was coded by three unlinked chromosomal loci (U/fld-1, U/fld-2 and U/fld-3), from which only the U/fld-1 mutation coded an osmotic sensitivity similar to that of the wild-types. Cross-resistance studies with fungicides from other chemical groups showed that the mutations for resistance to phenylpyrroles affect the sensitivity of mutant strains to the aromatic hydrocarbon and dicarboximide fungicides, but not to the benzimidazoles, anilinopyrimidines, phenylpyridinamines, hydroxyanilides or the sterol biosynthesis inhibiting fungicides. A study of fitness parameters in the wild-type and fludioxonil-resistant mutants of B. cinerea, showed that all osmotic sensitive (B/FLD_osm/s) isolates had significant reductions in the characteristics determining saprophytic fitness such as mycelial growth, sporulation, conidial germination and sclerotial production. Contrary to that, with the exception of mycelial growth, the fitness parameters were unaffected or only slightly affected in most of the osmotic resistant (B/FLD_osm/r) isolates. Tests on cucumber seedlings showed that the osmotic-sensitive strains were significantly less pathogenic compared with the wild-type and B/FLD_osm/r strains of B. cinerea. Preventative applications of the commercial products Saphire 50 WP (fludioxonil) and Rovral 50 WP (iprodione) were effective against lesion development on cotyledons by the wild-type and the mutant strains of B. cinerea that were resistant to the anilinopyrimidine cyprodinil (B/CPL-27) and to the hydroxyanilide fenhexamid (B/FNH-21), but ineffective, even at high concentrations, against disease caused by the fludioxonil-resistant isolates (B/FLD) and a mutant strain resistant to the dicarboximide iprodione (B/IPR-1). Experiments on the stability of the fludioxonil-resistant phenotype showed a reduction of resistance, mainly in osmotic-sensitive isolates, when the mutants were grown on inhibitor-free medium. A rapid recovery of the high resistance was observed after mutants were returned to the selection medium. Studies on the competitive ability of mutant isolates against the wild-type parent strain of B. cinerea, by applications of a mixed conidial population, showed that, in vitro, all mutants were less competitive than the wild-type strain. However, the competitive ability of osmotic-resistant mutants was higher than the osmotic-sensitive ones. Furthermore, competition tests, in planta, showed a significant reduction of the frequency of both phenylpyrrole-resistant phenotypes, with a respective increase in the population of the wild-type strain of the pathogen.     

啶酰菌胺不同抗性类型多主棒孢的生物学特性

由多主棒孢Corynespora cassiicola引起的黄瓜棒孢叶斑病是黄瓜上的重要病害。本研究测定了对啶酰菌胺不同抗性类型多主棒孢的生物学特性差异和环境适合度，旨在为探明多主棒孢对啶酰菌胺的抗性变化机制提供生物学研究基础。随机选取不同地区24株对啶酰菌胺具有不同抗性类型的多主棒孢，分析了7种类型抗性突变体对几种不同琥珀酸脱氢酶抑制剂类 (SDHIs) 杀菌剂的交互抗性、不同抗性类型多主棒孢在无药剂选择压力下的抗性遗传稳定性，以及抗性突变体在不同碳源、氮源、温度等环境条件下的生物学特性及适合度。结果表明:除突变类型SdhB-H278Y及SdhB-H278R对啶酰菌胺与氟吡菌酰胺之间存在负交互抗性外，其他突变类型对啶酰菌胺与吡噻菌胺、氟吡菌酰胺及萎锈灵之间均表现为正交互抗性；所有突变类型菌株的抗药性均能稳定遗传；不同突变类型菌株之间致病性存在差异，其中SdhD-D95E突变体的致病力最强；利于所有突变类型菌株生长的碳源是麦芽糖，氮源种类则对突变体的生长影响不显著；各突变类型菌株的最适生长温度范围为25~30 ℃，其中突变体SdhD-D95E在高于30 ℃条件下菌丝生长速率大于其他突变体；耐热性研究中，抗性突变体经65 ℃高温处理45 min后无法存活，同时发现，60 ℃条件下突变体能正常生长，而敏感菌株不能生长；各质量浓度NaCl处理下，SdhD-D95E突变菌株菌丝生长速率快于其他突变菌株，而SdhB-H278Y突变菌株慢于其他突变菌株；葡萄糖对SdhB-H278R突变菌株的生长较为重要。研究表明，对啶酰菌胺不同抗性类型多主棒孢突变菌株的生物学特性及适合度存在差异，SdhD-D95E突变菌株适合度有所提高，表明该突变类型多主棒孢在田间具有较强的竞争力，容易形成优势种群。     

Characterization of Laboratory Mutants of Botrytis cinerea Resistant to QoI Fungicides

Mutants of Botrytis cinerea with moderate and high resistance to pyraclostrobin, a Qo inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport at the cytochrome bc ₁ complex, were isolated at a high mutation frequency, after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis and selection on medium containing pyraclostrobin and salicylhydroxamate (SHAM), a specific inhibitor of cyanide-resistant (alternative) respiration. Oxygen uptake in whole cells was strongly inhibited in the wild-type strain by pyraclostrobin and SHAM, but not in the mutant isolates. Cross-resistance studies with other Qo and Qi inhibitors (QoIs and QiIs) of cytochrome bc ₁ complex of mitochondrial respiration showed that the mutation(s) for resistance to pyraclostrobin also reduced the sensitivity of mutant strains to other QoIs as azoxystrobin, fluoxastrobin, trifloxystrobin and picoxystrobin, but not to famoxadone and to the QiIs cyazofamid and antimycin-A. An increased sensitivity of pyraclostrobin-resistant strains to the carboxamide boscalid, an inhibitor of complex II, and to the anilinopyrimidine cyprodinil, a methionine biosynthesis inhibitor, was observed. Moreover, no effect of pyraclostrobin resistance mutation(s) on fungitoxicity of the hydroxyanilide fenhexamid, the phenylpyrrole fludioxonil, the benzimidazole benomyl, and to the phenylpyridinamine fluazinam, which affect other cellular pathways, was observed. Study of fitness parameters in the wild-type and pyraclostrobin-resistant mutants of B. cinerea showed that most mutants had a significant reduction in the sporulation, conidial germination and sclerotia production. Experiments on the stability of the pyraclostrobin-resistant phenotype showed a reduction of resistance, mainly in moderate resistant strains, when the mutants were grown on inhibitor-free medium. However, a rapid recovery of the resistance level was observed after the mutants were returned to a selective medium. Studies on the competitive ability of mutant isolates against the wild-type parent strain, by applications of a mixed conidial population, showed that, in vitro, all mutants were less competitive than the wild-type strain. However, the competitive ability of high resistant mutants was higher than the moderate ones. Pathogenicity tests on cucumber seedlings showed that all mutant strains tested exhibited an infection ability similar with the wild-type parent strain. Preventive applications of the commercial product of F-500 25EC (pyraclostrobin) were effective against lesion development on cotyledons by the wild-type, but ineffective, even at high concentrations, against disease caused by the pyraclostrobin-resistant isolates. Boscalid (F-510 50WG) was found equally effective against the disease caused by the wild-type or pyraclostrobin-resistant mutants. This is the first report indicating the appearance of B. cinerea strains resistant to QoI fungicides by the biochemical mechanism of site modification and the risk for field resistance.     

致病疫霉对缬菌胺抗性突变体生物学特性及抗性风险量化评估

 通过研究致病疫霉对缬菌胺抗性突变体的生物学特性,评估致病疫霉对缬菌胺产生抗性的风险。采用菌丝生长速率法检测田间菌株对缬菌胺的敏感性;通过比较抗性突变体在无药条件下继代培养前后对缬菌胺的敏感性来确定其抗性稳定性;采用离体叶片法测定抗性突变体及其亲本敏感菌株的适合度和竞争力;通过量化7个基本抗性因素的风险值评估致病疫霉对缬菌胺的基本抗性风险。结果表明:在2018年从内蒙、河北、贵州、四川、黑龙江等五省(自治区)采集分离的153个菌株和2019年从河北、内蒙采集分离的40个菌株中低抗菌株分别占31.4%和35.0%,敏感菌株分别占68.6%和65.0%,抗性指数均为0.34,抗性倍数分别为1.5和2.1,未发现中抗和高抗菌株;8个抗性突变体在无药条件下继代培养10代后,少数抗性突变体的抗药性不能稳定遗传;6个抗性突变体的适合度均显著低于其亲本敏感菌株;4个抗性突变体与其亲本菌株的孢子囊不同比率混合物分别在离体叶片上继代培养1、3、7代的抗性频率显著低于初始抗性频率或与初始抗性频率无显著差异;致病疫霉对缬菌胺7个基本抗性因素的风险值之和为9,推测致病疫霉对缬菌胺的基本抗性风险为低至中等。建议加强致病疫霉菌群体对缬菌胺的抗性监测,将缬菌胺与不同作用机理的杀菌剂交替或混合使用,以延缓抗药性产生和发展。     

Sensitivity of Phytophthora infestans to flumorph: in vitro determination of baseline sensitivity and the risk of resistance

The sensitivity of 127 Phytophthora infestans isolates to flumorph was determined in 2003 and 2004. The isolates originated from two geographical regions and showed similar levels of sensitivity in both years. Baseline sensitivities were distributed as a unimodal curve with EC₅₀ values for growth of mycelia ranging from 0·1016 to 0·3228  µ g mL⁻¹, with a mean of 0·1813 (± 0·0405) µ g mL⁻¹. There was no cross-resistance between flumorph and metalaxyl. Laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the risk of P. infestans developing resistance to flumorph. Mutants resistant to metalaxyl or flumorph were obtained by treating mycelium of wild-type isolates with ultraviolet radiation. Metalaxyl-resistant mutants were obtained with a high frequency and exhibited resistance factor values (EC₅₀ resistant/EC₅₀ sensitive phenotypes) of more than 100, while flumorph-resistant mutants were obtained at much lower frequencies and had very small resistance factors (1·5–3·2). There was cross-resistance between flumorph and dimethomorph, but not with azoxystrobin or cymoxanil. Most flumorph-resistant mutants showed decreases in hyphal growth in vitro and in sporulation both in vitro and on detached leaf tissues. These studies suggested that the risk of resistance developing was much lower for flumorph than metalaxyl. However, as P. infestans is a high-risk pathogen, appropriate precautions against resistance development should be taken.     

Characterization of fenarimol-resistant mutants of Aspergillus nidulans

The fitness of twelve fenarimol-resistant mutants of Aspergillus nidulans was tested with respect to spore germination, germ tube elongation, hyphal growth and sporulation. Half of the strains tested were isolated on triarimolcontaining media. The other strains were selected on imazalil-or cycloheximide-containing media (Van Tuyl, 1977).A number of mutant strains produced spores with unimpaired viability on synthetic medium. In other strains a reduction in spore viability was noticed. The rate of germ tube elongation of all resistant mutants was significantly lower than that of the wild-type strain. Mutant strains with a low degree of resistance always had an almost normal mycelial growth rate, whereas growth of some of the strains with a relatively high degree of resistance was significantly slower. Spore production on malt agar was highest in the wild-type strain and was found to be lower in fenarimol-resistant mutants. In most of the mutant strains tested a high degree of cross-resistance between fenarimol, imazalil and triadimefon was established; in some of them cross-resistance to these chemicals was low or even absent.Possible implications of the results described for the chance of development of resistance in phytopathogenic fungi to sterol biosynthesis-inhibiting fungicides are discussed.     

Competition between metalaxyl-sensitive and metalaxyl-resistant isolates of Phytophthora infestans in the absence of metalaxyl

Three metalaxyl-sensitive (MS, wild type) and three metalaxyl-resistant (MR) field isolates of Phytophthora infestans were compared, in the absence of metalaxyl, for non-competitive and competitive fitness on potato leaf and tuber tissues. When inoculated singly onto intact plants MR isolates produced larger lesions in leaflets than MS isolates, but no significant differences were recorded in infection frequency or sporulation capacity. When mixtures of MS and MR isolates were inoculated onto intact plants, all MR isolates exhibited a strong competitive ability: their proportion increased in the sporangial populations from 10 to 100% after eight to 10 sporulation cycles. In contrast, when mixtures were inoculated onto detached leaflets or tuber slices in a moisture-saturated atmosphere, only MR2 was a strong competitor; MR1 was a weak and MR3 a moderate competitor. The results showed that in intact plants all MR isolates were able to compete successfully with their MS partner isolates, because of the larger lesions they produced and the unlimited availability of host tissue. However, in detached tissues only MR2 was able to compete successfully with MS2, because of its higher infection and sporulation capabilities compared to MS2. The results explain the severe MR-induced late blight epidemics in potato crops in Israel.

Effect of null mutations in the AbNIK1 gene on saprophytic and parasitic fitness of Alternaria brassicicola isolates highly resistant to dicarboximide fungicides

Alternaria brassicicola field isolates highly resistant to dicarboximide fungicides (DCF) and carrying non‐sense codons or micro‐deletions in the AbNIK1 gene encoding a group III histidine kinase were characterized at the protein level using specific antibodies. These isolates, as well as laboratory mutants expressing the same resistant phenotype, were shown to correspond to null mutants. The fitness of these isolates was compared to that of wild‐type isolates by measuring i) mycelial growth, ii) sporulation and iii) conidial germination under standard conditions. None of these factors were affected in the resistant isolates. Mycelial growth was also measured under stress conditions. Unlike suboptimal incubation temperatures or exposure to the superoxide ion generator menadione, osmotic stress generated by high sorbitol concentrations in the culture medium significantly affected the growth of AbNIK1‐null mutants compared to wild‐types. The effects of these mutations on parasitic fitness were estimated under both controlled and field conditions after inoculation of radish with individual isolates, to measure their aggressiveness, or with mixed conidial suspensions, to measure their competitive ability against wild‐type isolates. These tests on radish seedlings revealed that DCF‐resistant isolates were still aggressive. Despite this, the data obtained in the competition experiments showed that the loss of the ability to synthesize AbNIK1p in A. brassicicola DCF‐resistant mutants was linked to a severe decrease in their competitiveness.
