Background: The point mutation at codon 200 (TTC→TAC, F200Y) of the β -tubulin gene confers resistance to benzimidazole fungicide in Fusarium asiaticum. These isolates with this mutation have been detected mainly by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of fungicides, which is always time consuming, tedious and inefficient.
Results: A visual, rapid and efficient method with high specificity was developed, based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Six sets of LAMP primers were designed, and one set was optimised specifically to distinguish the F200Y mutant genotype. With the optimal LAMP primers, concentrations of LAMP components were optimised. The optimal reaction conditions were 57-64 °C for 75 min. The feasibility of the LAMP assay for detection of the F200Y mutant genotype of F. asiaticum was demonstrated by assaying diseased wheat spikelets that were artificially inoculated in the field.
Conclusion: The new LAMP assay had good specificity, sensitivity, stability and repeatability. It will be useful for assessing the risk of F. asiaticum populations with carbendazim resistance developing in the field, and will also provide important reference data for integrated control of Fusarium head blight caused by F. asiaticum. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

To provide a high-throughput, efficient, and accurate method to monitor multiple-fungicide resistance of in the field, we used the suspension array, sequencing, and mycelial growth assay in our research. Discriminating-dose bioassays for detecting carbendazim, diethofencarb, boscalid, and iprodione resistance (Car, Die, Bos, and Ipr, respectively) were used to analyze 257 isolates collected from Hebei Province in China during 2016 and 2017. High resistance frequencies to carbendazim (100%), diethofencarb (92.

The wheat head blight fungus Fusarium graminearum has two highly similar beta-tubulin genes with overlapping functions during vegetative growth but only TUB1 is important for sexual reproduction. To better understand their functional divergence during ascosporogenesis, in this study we characterized the sequence elements important for stage-specific functions of TUB1. Deletion of TUB1 blocked the late but not initial stages of perithecium formation.

Anthelmintic resistance in gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites of grazing ruminants is on the rise in countries across the world. Haemonchus contortus is one of most frequently encountered drug-resistant GINs in small ruminants. This blood-sucking abomasal nematode contributes to massive treatment costs and poses a serious threat to farm animal health.

When a new fungicide class is introduced, it is useful to anticipate the resistance risk in advance, attempting to predict both risk level and potential mechanisms. One tool for the prediction of resistance risk is laboratory selection for resistance, with the mutational supply increased through UV or chemical mutagenesis. This enables resistance to emerge more rapidly than in the field, but may produce mutations that would not emerge under field conditions.

The point mutation at codon 200 (TTC→TAC, F200Y) confers moderate resistance to carbendazim in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. This mutant genotype (F200Y) has been detected mainly by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which requires 3 to 5 days. Here, we developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the rapid detection of the F200Y mutant genotype of carbendazim-resistant isolates of S.
