DsRNAs were detected in 36 of 49 Monilinia fructicola isolates from stone fruit orchards in New Zealand. The dsRNA profiles were highly variable, even between isolates from a single tree. Comparison of pathogenicity on detached fruit, in vitro growth rate, and sporulation of 14 isolates showed no obvious correlation with presence of dsRNAs. Partially purified extracts from four isolates were examined for the presence of virus-like particles by transmission electron microscopy. One isolate contained 45 nm isometric particles similar in appearance to totiviruses and partitiviruses. A second isolate contained 200-250 x 25 nm rigid rods similar in appearance to the plant pathogenic tobraviruses and furoviruses. This is the first report of the presence of viral-like agents in the brown rot fungus Monilinia fructicola.

Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvents (HDES), as a subclass of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES), present a green-chemistry alternative to toxic chemicals. As HDES are based on terpenoids, these solvents could potentially be effective antifungal agents against phytopathogens Monilinia fructicola and Botrytis cinerea that frequently cause diseases in sweet cherry fruit. To contribute to the disease prevention and management goals, as a part of this study, 30 different HDES were tested in the vapor phase, at identical concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 100%.

Fludioxonil and propiconazole are frequently used fungicides for managing fungal diseases in specialty crops. They are often used in mixture to manage brown rot caused by Monilinia fructicola and sour rot caused by the yeast-like fungus Geotrichum candidum,respectively, on stone fruits. Research indicated, however, that fludioxonil can increase the expression of the ATP-binding cassette transporters CDR1 and CDR2 in the yeast Candida albicans, leading to increased resistance to DMI fungicides.

Background: Fungal diseases present a significant threat to global agriculture, necessitating the development of new, safe, and effective fungicides. Existing fungicides face resistance and health risks, prompting the synthesis of novel compounds. Researchers have synthesized aldehyde-based thiourea and thiazolyl hydrazine derivatives, evaluating their antifungal activities to identify impactful pesticide molecules.
