Mechanisms of resistance to fungicides in field strains of Botrytis cinerea

Field strains of Botrytis cinerea Pers ex Fr, the causal agent of grey mould diseases, were collected from French vineyards between 1993 and 2000. Several phenotypes have been characterized according to the inhibitory effects of fungicides towards germ-tube elongation and mycelial growth. Two types of benzimidazole-resistant strains (Ben R1 and Ben R2) could be detected; negative cross-resistance to phenylcarbamates (e.g. diethofencarb) was only found in Ben R1. Benzimidazole resistance was related to point mutations at codon 198 (Ben R1) or 200 (Ben R2) of the beta-tubulin gene. Most dicarboximide-resistant strains were also weakly resistant to aromatic hydrocarbon fungicides (e.g. dicloran) but remained sensitive to phenylpyrroles (e.g. fludioxonil). These resistant field strains (Imi R1) contained a single base pair mutation at position 365 in a two-component histidine kinase gene, probably involved in the fungal osmoregulation. Three anilinopyrimidine-resistant phenotypes have been identified. In the most resistant one (Ani R1), resistance was restricted to anilinopyrimidines, but no differences were observed in the amino-acid sequences of cystathionine beta-lyase (the potential target site of these fungicides) from Ani R1 or wild-type strains. In the two other phenotypes (Ani R2 and Ani R3), resistance extended to various other groups of fungicide, including dicarboximides, phenylpyrroles and sterol biosynthesis inhibitors. This multi-drug resistance was probably determined by over-production of ATP-binding cassette transporters. The hydroxyanilide fenhexamid is a novel botryticide whose primary target site is the 3-keto reductase involved in sterol C-4 demethylations. Apart from the multi-drug-resistant strain Ani R3, three other fenhexamid-resistant phenotypes have been recognized. For two of them (Hyd R1 and Hyd R2) fenhexamid-resistance seemed to result from P450-mediated detoxification. Reduced sensitivity of the target site could be the putative resistance mechanism operating in the third resistant phenotype (Hyd R3). Increased sensitivity to inhibitors of sterol 14 alpha-demethylase recorded in Hyd R1 strains was related to two amino-acid changes at positions 15 and 105 of this enzyme.     

8种杀菌剂对番茄灰霉病菌的毒力及田间番茄灰霉病菌对咯菌腈的敏感性

为了解决番茄灰霉病菌的抗性问题,筛选出理想的替代药剂,采用菌丝生长速率法测定了山东寿光和河北徐水两地番茄灰霉病菌对不同类型杀菌剂的敏感性。两地的番茄灰霉病菌对咯菌腈、氟啶胺均高度敏感,对其他不同作用方式的杀菌剂表现出不同的敏感性。用同样方法检测了不同地区的106株番茄灰霉菌对咯菌腈的敏感性,结果显示其EC50值分布在0.003 9～0.044 9μg/mL之间,平均EC50值为(0.014 2±0.008 1)μg/mL。咯菌腈可作为防治番茄灰霉病的候选药剂。     

Studies on resistance to dichlofluanid and other fungicides in Botrytis cinerea

Amongst 489 mass isolates of Botrytis cinerea obtained from protected crops in Humberside during 1989, 67.3% were resistant to benomyl and 45.6% to vinclozolin. Two isolates resistant to dichlofluanid were obtained with EC₅₀ values for mycelial growth on agar of 21.45 and 19.78 μg dichlofluanid/ml, respectively, compared with values of 1.55-2.56 μg/ml for sensitive isolates. EC₅₀ values for germ tube emergence and length were much lower than for mycelial growth. In population studies carried out on tomatoes in a polythene tunnel, resistance to dichlofluanid and to vinclozolin declined over a 12-week period in the absence of fungicides. Field isolates of B. cinerea resistant to dichlofluanid were also resistant to vinclozolin. but strains resistant to dichlofluanid and sensitive to vinclozolin were obtained during population studies. Examination of a number of features of dichlofluanid-resistant strains revealed a degree of lack of fitness as compared with sensitive strains. There is no indication that resistance to dichlofluanid poses a great threat to the control of grey mould in Humberside at present.

Modulators of membrane drug transporters potentiate the activity of the DMI fungicide oxpoconazole against Botrytis cinerea

Modulators known to reduce multidrug resistance in tumour cells were tested for their potency to synergize the fungitoxic activity of the fungicide oxpoconazole, a sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI), against Botrytis cinerea Pers. Chlorpromazine, a phenothiazine compound known as a calmodulin antagonist, appeared the most potent compound. Tacrolimus, a macrolide compound with immunosuppressive activity, was also active. The synergism of chlorpromazine negatively correlated with the sensitivity of the parent strain and mutants of B. cinerea. The synergism was highest in a mutant that overexpressed the ATP-binding cassette transporter BcatrD, known to transport DMI fungicides such as oxpoconazole. The synergism of chlorpromazine positively correlated with its potency to enhance the accumulation of oxpoconazole in BcatrD mutants. These results indicate that chlorpromazine is a modulator of BcatrD activity in B. cinerea and suggest that mixtures of DMI fungicides with modulators may represent a perspective for the development of new resistance management strategies.

Resistance to fungicides which inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis in laboratory strains of Botrytis cinerea and Ustilago maydis

The strains of Botrytis cinerea or Ustilago maydis selected on fenarimol, triarimol, or triadimefon were also resistant to the other inhibitors of sterol C-14 demethylation; the sterol composition of the strains was normal. Among the isolates of U. maydis resistant to dodemorph, fenpropidin, fenpropimorph and tridemorph, some were resistant to the 15-azasteroid A 25822B and did not contain ergosterol. The other strains remained sensitive to A 25822B and had a normal sterol composition. All the resistant isolates and the wild-type were inhibited to the same extent by nystatin and pimaricin.     

Negative cross resistance between benzimidazole and N-phenylcarbamate fungicides and control of Botrytis cinerea on grapes

Isolates of Botrytis cinerea resistant to benzimidazoles (Ben^R), dicarboximides (Dic^R), or both (Ben^R Dic^R) were found on table grapes in vineyards in Israel. In vineyards treated for one or two seasons with benomyl and dicarboximides, 41% of the isolates were benomyl-resistant, 18% were dicarboximide-resistant and 21 % were resistant to both fungicides. The frequency of resistant strains was very low in non-treated vineyards. Negatively correlated cross resistance (NCCR) was manifested by 46 Ben^R isolates which were sensitive to isopropyl N -(3,4-diethoxyphenyl) carbamate (NPC) and 73 benomyl-sensitive (Ben^s) isolates which were insensitive to NPC; NCCR was not influenced by sensitivity to dicarboximides. A mixture of Ben^s Dic^R plus Ben^R Dic^s isolates, inoculated on rose petals, was inhibited by mixtures of benzimidazoles plus NPC but not by benomyl, NPC or iprodione alone. Grey mould, incited on maturing grape berries by a vineyard population composed of Ben^s and Ben^R strains, was not controlled by benomyl, while the mixture of NPC plus carbendazim was effective.

Acquired resistance to benomyl and some other systemic fungicides in a strain of Botrytis cinerea in cyclamen

A benomyl-resistant strain (R) ofBotrytis cinerea was isolated from cyclamen that had been sprayed with relatively high doses of Benlate two weeks before. In vitro mycelial growth of this strain was less inhibited on PDA containing 1000 g/ml benomyl (Benlate, 50% W.P.) than that of another, wild isolate ofB. cinerea from cyclamen on PDA with 0.5 g/ml of the fungicide.The R-strain was also resistant to methyl-thiophanate, furidazol and to a lesser extent to thiabendazole. Mycelial growth of 5 other isolates was much more inhibited by benomyl than by thiabendazole.Resistance was retained for at least 20 weeks after repeated subculturing on fungicide-free agar.Samenvatting In een kwekerij, waar bespuiting met benomyl (Benlate, 50% W.P.) drie maal was toegepast ter bestrijding vanBotrytisrot in cyclamen, bleek de laatste bespuiting niet meer effectief. Integendeel, de ziekte breidde zich sneller uit dan onder normale omstandigheden het geval is. Uit bloemstelen van de aangetaste planten werd eenB. cinerea-stam (R) geïsoleerd, die zeer resistent bleek tegen benomyl. In vitro werd de groei van deze stam op aardappel-glucose-agar met 1000 g/ml benomyl (Benlate 50% W.P.) minder geremd dan die van een willekeurigB. cinerea-isolaat van cyclamen op het medium met 0.5 g/ml van het fungicide (Tabel 1, Fig. 1).De R-stam bleek eveneens resistent tegen methyl-thiophanaat, furidazol en in mindere mate tegen thiabendazol (Tabel 2).De myceliumgroei van vijf isolaten vanB. cinerea, verkregen van verschillende waardplanten, bleek in tegenstelling tot die van de R-stam juist sterker geremd te worden door benomyl dan door thiabendazol (Tabel 3).De R-stam bleef gedurende tenminste 20 weken resistent na regelmatig overenten op voedingsbodems zonder het fungicide.     

新杀菌剂对番茄灰霉病菌的室内毒力及田间防效

室内采用菌丝生长速率法、孢子萌发法和黄瓜子叶法测定了咯菌腈、抑霉唑、福美双、吡唑醚菌酯和嘧霉胺对番茄灰霉病菌( Botrytis cinerea)的抑制作用。结果表明,菌丝生长速率法和孢子萌发法的测定均以咯菌腈毒力最高,EC 50分别为0.005 2 μg/mL和0.087 6 μg/mL;黄瓜子叶法测定以抑霉唑毒力最高,其EC 50为0.675 3 μg/mL。田间药效试验结果表明：50%咯菌腈可湿性粉剂90 g/ hm2对番茄灰霉病的田间防效达到90%以上,显著高于对照药剂50%啶酰菌胺水分散粒剂300 g/hm2和40%嘧霉胺悬浮剂 480 g/hm2的防效。     

Properties of dicarboximide-resistant strains of Botrytis cinerea

Dicarboximide-resistant strains of Botrytis cinerea were isolated from natural substrates and also produced in the laboratory. All these strains exhibited a similar degree of resistance to the dicarboximide fungicides iprodione and vinclozolin, and this resistance persisted in the absence of the fungicides. The natural frequency of resistance to both chemicals was approximately three in 10⁷ conidia but could be enhanced by up to 1000 times after a single exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of either chemical. Mycelium of the resistant strains was able to infect fruit and vegetables to a similar extent as that of sensitive strains, although infection of carrot roots was markedly less aggressive. The resistant strains were separable into two groups according to their growth habit on culture media. Both groups were relatively slow growing and showed a marked lack of sporulation compared with most sensitive strains. This lack of sporulation may account for the apparent failure of resistant strains to increase rapidly in strawberry plantations that had received dicarboximide sprays in successive seasons.     

山东蓬莱葡萄灰霉菌对7种杀菌剂的抗药性检测

为了明确葡萄灰霉菌对啶酰菌胺、多菌灵、咯菌腈、异菌脲、腐霉利、嘧霉胺的抗药性和对抑霉唑的敏感性,本试验采用菌丝生长速率法和孢子萌发法检测了采自山东蓬莱地区的69株葡萄灰霉菌对上述前6种杀菌剂的抗药性、对抑霉唑的敏感性及抑霉唑与其他6种杀菌剂的交互抗性关系。结果表明,抑霉唑对这69株葡萄灰霉菌的EC₅₀分布在0.403～28.76μg/mL之间,平均值为(9.34±10.34)μg/mL;葡萄灰霉菌菌株中抗啶酰菌胺(BosR)、多菌灵(CarR)、咯菌腈(FluR)、异菌脲(IprR)、嘧霉胺(PyrR)、腐霉利(ProR)的比例分别为100%、100%、9.47%、97.18%、100%、89.20%,测试菌株的抗药性均为多抗类型,没有单抗菌株,其中对3种杀菌剂(啶酰菌胺、多菌灵、嘧霉胺)、对4种杀菌剂(啶酰菌胺、多菌灵、异菌脲、嘧霉胺)、对5种杀菌剂(啶酰菌胺、多菌灵、异菌脲、嘧霉胺、腐霉利或啶酰菌胺、多菌灵、咯菌腈、异菌脲、嘧霉胺)和对6种杀菌剂(啶酰菌胺、多菌灵、咯菌腈、异菌脲、嘧霉胺、腐霉利)的抗性频率分别为2.33%、9.30%、79.07%、2.33%、6.97%,表明啶酰菌胺、多菌灵、嘧霉胺对测试葡萄菌株完全丧失防效,建议在该葡萄产区停止使用这些药剂,测试菌株对腐霉利、异菌脲的抗性频率高,建议采取限制使用、禁止单独使用等措施,测试菌株对咯菌腈的抗性频率较低,可以继续使用但需按照科学使用规则进行。抑霉唑与其他6种杀菌剂间不存在交互抗性关系,说明其可以和其他药剂同时使用但建议减少使用。     

Molecular characterization of boscalid resistance in field isolates of Botrytis cinerea from apple

Botrytis cinerea isolates obtained from apple orchards were screened for resistance to boscalid. Boscalid-resistant (BosR) isolates were classified into four phenotypes based on the levels of the concentration that inhibited fungal growth by 50% relative to control. Of the 220 isolates tested, 42 were resistant to boscalid, with resistant phenotypes ranging from low to very high resistance. There was cross resistance between boscalid and carboxin. Analysis of partial sequences of the iron-sulfur subunit of succinate dehydrogenase gene in B. cinerea (BcSdhB) from 13 BosR and 9 boscalid-sensitive (BosS) isolates showed that point mutations in BcSdhB leading to amino acid substitutions at the codon position 272 from histidine to either tyrosine (H272Y) or arginine (H272R) were correlated with boscalid resistance. Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of 66 BosR isolates (including 24 additional isolates obtained from decayed apple fruit) showed that 19 carried the point mutation H272Y and 46 had the point mutation H272R, but 1 BosR isolate gave no amplification product. Analysis of the BcSdhB sequence of this isolate revealed a different point mutation at codon 225, resulting in a substitution of proline (P) by phenylalanine (F) (P225F). The results indicated that H272R/Y in BcSdhB were the dominant genotypes of mutants in field BosR isolates from apple. A multiplex allele-specific PCR assay was developed to detect point mutations H272R/Y in a single PCR amplification. Levels of boscalid resistance ranged from low to very high within isolates carrying either the H272R or H272Y mutation, indicating that, among BosR isolates, different BosR phenotypes (levels of resistance) were not associated with particular types of point mutations (H272R versus H272Y) in BcSdhB. Analysis of genetic relationships between 39 BosR and 56 BosS isolates based on three microsatellite markers showed that 39 BosR isolates and 30 BosS isolates were clustered into two groups, and the third group consisted of only BosS isolates, suggesting that the development of resistance to boscalid in B. cinerea likely is not totally random, and resistant populations may come from specific genetic groups.     

Multiple resistance of Botrytis cinerea from kiwifruit to SDHIs,QoIs and fungicides of other chemical groups

BACKGROUND: Botrytis cinerea Pers.: Fr. is a high‐risk pathogen for fungicide resistance development that has caused resistance problems on many crops throughout the world. This study investigated the fungicide sensitivity profile of isolates from kiwifruits originating from three Greek locations with different fungicide use histories. Sensitivity was measured by in vitro fungitoxicity tests on artificial nutrient media. RESULTS: Seventy‐six single‐spore isolates were tested for sensitivity to the SDHI fungicide boscalid, the QoI pyraclostrobin, the anilinopyrimidine cyprodinil, the hydroxyanilide fenhexamid, the phenylpyrrole fludioxonil, the dicarboxamide iprodione and the benzimidazole carbendazim. All isolates from Thessaloniki showed resistance to both boscalid and pyraclostrobin, while in the other two locations the fungal population was sensitive to these two fungicides. Sensitive isolates showed EC₅₀ values to boscalid and pyraclostrobin ranging from 0.9 to 5.2 and from 0.04 to 0.14 mg L^?1 respectively, while the resistant isolates showed EC₅₀ values higher than 50 mg L^?1 for boscalid and from 16 to > 50 mg L^?1 for pyraclostrobin. All QoI‐resistant isolates carried the G143A mutation in cytb. Sensitivity determinations to the remaining fungicides revealed in total eight resistance phenotypes. No isolates were resistant to the fungicides fenhexamid and fludioxonil. CONCLUSION: This is the first report of B. cinerea field isolates with resistance to both boscalid and pyraclostrobin, and it strongly suggests that there may be a major problem in controlling this important pathogen on kiwifruit.

Systemic fungicides in strawberry: field control of fruit rot (Botrytis cinerea pers.) and residue study

In a detailed study of the effect of weekly sprays with benzimidazole-derivative fungicides on strawberry plants, cv. Tioga, higher yields were recorded, as well as reduced fruit rot caused by the fungusBotrytis cinerea Pers. The two fungicides tested, benomyl and flowable and soluble formulations of TBZ, gave similar control of fruit rot. The residue level found in leaves and fruits was about the same throughout the yielding season. Residue levels of 300-433 ppm TBZ (flowable form) and 94-110 ppm benomyl were detected in the leaves, whereas the levels in the fruit were 6.4-8.2 ppm and 1.5-3.8 ppm for the two compounds, respectively. Two weeks after the last spray application, the residue level of TBZ in teaves was reduced by 50%, and of benomyl by only 20%.
