Background: Recently in Japan, isolates resistant to boscalid, a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI), have been detected in Corynespora cassiicola (Burk. & Curt.) Wei and Podosphaera xanthii (Castaggne) Braun & Shishkoff, the pathogens causing Corynespora leaf spot and powdery mildew disease on cucumber, respectively. Resistant isolates of C. cassiicola are widely distributed and represent a serious problem in disease control at present. Novel SDHI fungicides, including fluopyram, are now under development.
Results: The growth of very highly boscalid-resistant, highly resistant and sensitive isolates of C. cassiicola was strongly suppressed on fluopyram-amended YBA agar medium. Although boscalid and another SDHI, penthiopyrad, hardly controlled Corynespora leaf spot and powdery mildew on cucumber plants when very highly or highly boscalid-resistant isolates were employed for inoculation, fluopyram still exhibited excellent control efficacy against these resistant isolates as well as sensitive isolates of C. cassiicola and P. xanthii.
Conclusion: Differential sensitivity to boscalid, penthiopyrad and fluopyram, clearly found in these two important pathogens of cucumber, may indicate involvement of a slightly distinct site of action for fluopyram from the two other SDHIs. This finding may lead to the discovery of unique SDHIs in the future.

Article Synopsis
- Corynespora blight, caused by Corynespora cassiicola, is a major disease impacting cucumbers in China, primarily controlled through fungicides.
- Recent research established a baseline sensitivity to boscalid, revealing that 27.8% of tested isolates were resistant, with a distribution across five provinces and two municipalities.
- Seven different SDHI resistance patterns were identified, linked to mutations in specific genes, highlighting the need for ongoing resistance monitoring and management strategies.

Laboratory mutants of Penicillium expansum highly resistant (Rfs: 90 to >500, based on EC) to Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibitors (SDHIs) were isolated after UV-mutagenesis and selection on media containing boscalid. A positive correlation was found between sensitivity of isolates to boscalid and other SDHIs such as isopyrazam and carboxin but not to fungicides affecting other cellular pathways or processes, such as the triazole flusilazole, the phenylpyrrole fludioxonil, the anilinopyrimidine cyprodinil and the benzimidazole benomyl. Most of the boscalid-resistant strains were more sensitive to the SDHI fluopyram and the QoI pyraclostrobin.

Research has established that mutations in highly conserved amino acids of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex in various fungi confer SDH inhibitor (SDHI) resistance. For Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, a necrotrophic fungus with a broad host range and a worldwide distribution, boscalid resistance has been attributed to the mutation H132R in the highly conserved SdhD subunit protein of the SDH complex.

Resistance of Alternaria alternata to boscalid, the first succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide labeled on pistachio, has become a common occurrence in California pistachio orchards and affects the performance of this fungicide. In this study, we established the baseline sensitivities of A. alternata to the new SDHIs fluopyram, fluxapyroxad, and penthiopyrad and assessed their cross resistance patterns with boscalid.

Background: Botryotinia fuckeliana (Botrytis cinerea) is a pathogen with a high risk of development of resistance to fungicides. Fungicide resistance was monitored during 2008-2011 in B. fuckeliana populations from both table-grape vineyards and greenhouse-grown strawberries in southern Italy.
