- The gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) is a major threat to grapevine production in Chile, and the study focuses on assessing the effectiveness of the new fungicide pydiflumetofen against this pathogen.
- Results showed that pydiflumetofen effectively inhibited conidial germination and germ-tube elongation at very low concentrations, with no observed cross-resistance to another fungicide, fludioxonil.
- Additionally, mutations in the SdhB gene impacted sensitivity to pydiflumetofen, but the fungicide still controlled Botrytis in various scenarios, highlighting its potential as a reliable treatment for grapevines facing gray mold.
causes diseases in pigs and has emerged as a zoonotic agent. When infected, the host develops an exacerbated inflammation that can lead to septic shock and meningitis. Although neutrophils greatly infiltrate the lesions, their dynamics during infection remain poorly described.
