BACKGROUND: Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is a destructive disease threatening the production of staple foods worldwide. Quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs) are a group of chemicals exhibiting excellent activity against a majority of plant pathogens, with the disadvantage that pathogens can easily develop resistance to QoIs.RESULTS: Here, we investigated the activity of picoxystrobin against M. oryzae, which showed a great inhibitory effect on 100 strains of M. oryzae with half-maximal effective concentrations (EC 50 ) ranging from 0.0251 to 0.1337 ∼g ml −1 . The EC 50 values showed a continuous unimodal distribution that was identical to the normal distribution, suggesting the potency of our study to represent baseline sensitivity. In addition, nine resistant mutants were obtained by exposing M. oryzae to a high dosage of picoxystrobin in the laboratory; all of them showed cross-resistance to the other five QoI fungicides. Although some mutants showed a decreased resistance factor after ten successive cultures on fungicide-free medium, the resistance to picoxystrobin was still inheritable. Amino acid substitution of G143S was detected in eight of nine picoxystrobin-resistant mutants, and G143A was detected in only one of nine mutants. A fitness penalty was found in the mutants carrying G143S rather than G143A.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggested that M. oryzae had a mid to high risk of resistance to picoxystrobin. Considering this, we should be vigilant to the resistance risk and apply picoxystrobin sensibly in the field.

“…The QoI fungicides resistance generally associated with point mutations in Cytb gene at codons 129,137 and 143 in many phytopathogens [12,13,33]. Others have shown that Cytb gene mutation was not also detected in few pathogens, such as reduced sensitivity to azoxystrobin L. theobromae isolates [34], low and moderate resistant Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolates [35], moderate and high resistant Microdochium majus isolates [36]. Though L. theobromae from mango has high level resistance to pyraclostrobin, but no point mutation was detected in pyraclostrobin-resistant isolates in this study.…”
Background
Stem-end rot, caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Pat.) Griffon & Maubl is a serious postharvest disease in mango. In China, a high prevalence of the QoI fungicides resistance has been reported in the last decade. The study aimed to discuss factors determining rapid development of pyraclostrobin-resistance and its resistance mechanisms.
Methods
To determine the resistance stability and fitness of pyraclostrobin resistance in L. theobromae, three phenotypes of pyraclostrobin resistance were compared and analyzed for the EC50 values, mycelial growth, virulence and temperature sensitivity and osmotic stress sensitivity. The relative conductivity and enzyme activities of different phenotypes were compared under fungicide stress to explore possible biochemical mechanisms of pyraclostrobin resistance in L. theobromae. The Cytb gene sequences of different phenotypes were analysed.
Results
All isolates retained their original resistance phenotypes during the 10 subcultures on a fungicide-free PDA, factor of sensitivity change (FSC) was approximately equal to 1. The resistance-pyraclostrobin of the field isolates should be relatively stable. Two pyraclostrobin-resistant phenotypes shared similar mycelial growth, virulence and temperature sensitivity with pyraclostrobin-sensitive phenotype. After treated by pyraclostrobin, the relative conductivity of the sensitive phenotype was significantly increased. The time of Pyr-R and Pyr-HR reached the most conductivity was about 8–10 times than that of Pyr-S, the time for the maximum value appearance showed significant differences between sensitive and resistant phenotypes. The activities of Glutathione S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) of Pyr-HR were 1.78, 5.45 and 1.65 times respectively, significantly higher than that of Pyr-S after treated by 200 mg/l pyraclostrobin.
Conclusion
The results showed that the pyraclostrobin-resistant phenotypes displayed high fitness and high-risk. The nucleotide sequences were identical among all pyraclostrobin-resistant and -sensitive isolates. The pyraclostrobin resistance was not attributable to Cytb gene alterations, there may be some of other resistance mechanisms. Differential response of enzyme activity and cell membrane permeability were observed in resistant- and sensitive-isolates suggesting a mechanism of metabolic resistance.
