AI Article Synopsis

  • The study measured the sensitivity of 106 P. sojae isolates to ametoctradin, finding a unimodal distribution of effectiveness with an average EC value of 0.1743 μg/mL and showing that resistant mutants are less fit than wild types.
  • Resistance to ametoctradin was linked to a specific S33L mutation in the PsCytb protein, and while no cross-resistance to other fungicides was found, a negative relationship with amisulbrom was noted, suggesting a complex interaction between these compounds due to changes

Article Abstract

Ametoctradin is mainly used to treat plant oomycetes diseases, but the mechanism and resistance risk of ametoctradin in Phytophthora sojae remain unknown. This study determined the ametoctradin sensitivity of 106 P. sojae isolates and found that the frequency distribution of the median effective concentration (EC) of ametoctradin was unimodal with a mean value of 0.1743 ± 0.0901 μg/mL. Furthermore, ametoctradin-resistant mutants had a substantially lower fitness index compared with that of wild-type isolates. Although ametoctradin did not show cross-resistance to other fungicides, negative cross-resistance to amisulbrom was found. In comparison to sensitive isolates, the control efficacy of ametoctradin to resistant mutants was lower, implying a low to moderate ametoctradin resistance risk in P. sojae. All ametoctradin-resistant mutants contained a S33L point mutation in PsCytb. A system with overexpression of PsCytb in the nucleus was established. When we ectopically overexpressed S33L-harboring PsCytb, P. sojae developed ametoctradin resistance. We hypothesized that the observed negative resistance between ametoctradin and amisulbrom could be attributed to conformational changes in the binding cavity of PsCytb at residues 33 and 220.

Downy mildew is caused by Plasmopara viticola, an obligate oomycete plant pathogen, a devasting disease of grapevine. To protect plants from the disease, complex III inhibitors are among the fungicides widely used. They specifically target the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) of the pathogen to block cellular respiration mechanisms.

Background: Litchi downy blight, caused by Phytophthora litchii, is one of the most important diseases of litchi. Ametoctradin, as the only QioI (quinone inside and outside inhibitor) fungicide, has been registered in China in 2019. However, the ametoctradin-resistance risk and molecular basis in Phytophthora litchii have not been reported.

Cucurbit production in Florida is impacted by downy mildew on a yearly basis. Cucurbit downy mildew (CDM), caused by , is one of the most devastating cucurbit diseases and can lead to complete yield loss. Nearly continuous production of cucurbits occurs temporally throughout Florida, which puts extensive pressure on the pathogen population to select for individuals that are resistant to fungicides in use labeled for CDM.

Hops have expanded as a niche crop in Michigan and other production areas in the eastern United States, but growers in these regions face annual downy mildew outbreaks incited by , exacerbated by frequent rainfall and high relative humidity. We evaluated the efficacy of foliar- and drench-applied fungicides against downy mildew and examined Michigan isolates for point mutations linked to carboxylic acid amide (CAA) resistance. Disease severity and density were assessed weekly in 2016 and 2017 in nontrellised research hop yards in Michigan.
