Isolates of Phytophthora infestans (Mont) de Bary (the potato and tomato late blight pathogen) resistant to phenylamides appeared in Europe and North America in the late 1970s and early 1990s respectively. Concurrent, but coincidentally, with both these events there were radical structural shifts in the pathogen populations as immigrant genotypes from Mexico displaced the indigenous populations. Both A1 and A2 mating type isolates are now present in blighted crops, permitting alternative inoculum via germinating sexually produced oospores to influence dynamics of late blight populations. Studies of inheritance of ploidy, host-specific pathogenicity, mating type and resistance to antibiotics and phenylamide fungicides have provided insight into mechanisms of variation in this potent pathogen.

Background: Tomatoes are renowned for their popularity and nutritional value across the globe, yet their production and quality face significant challenges from various biotic stresses in their growing environments. Kiwellin (KWL) has been implicated in plant disease resistance. However, our comprehension of this gene family in plants is still remarkably insufficient.

Taking the natural product cerbinal as the lead compound, 30 novel 5-aryl-cyclopenta[]pyridine derivatives were designed and synthesized based on the previous bioactivity studies of the cyclopenta[]pyridines. The modification of the position-5 of compound was achieved by amination, bromination, and cross coupling using cerbinal as the raw material. The results of the bioactivity tests demonstrated that partial compounds exhibited superior activity against plant viruses compared to compound .
