Abstract:Fludioxonil is a highly effective phenylpyrrole fungicide for controlling Botrytis cinerea. Although the field efficacy of fludioxonil remains high, Botrytis cinerea isolates with reduced sensitivity have been reported globally. The molecular target of fludioxonil still remains unknown; however, a mechanism of reduced sensitivity to fludioxonil underlies the overexpression of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter AtrB in a dependent pathway of the Mrr1 transcription factor. Fludioxonil is a key player in … Show more
