Toxicity of the fungicide Flutolanil was in vitro tested against 20 isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina and cotton seedlings of ten commercial cotton cultivars. The isolates were recovered from roots of cotton plants obtained from different cotton-growing areas in Egypt. Most of the tested isolates were sensitive to Flutolanil; however, they varied in sensitivity. Twenty-five percent of the isolates were highly sensitive where $IC_{50}$ ranged from < 1 to $5.1{\mu}g/ml$, 20% of the isolates were sensitive where $IC_{50}$ ranged from 15 to $30{\mu}g/ml$, 45% of the isolates were moderately sensitive where $IC_{50}$ ranged from 46 to $58.5{\mu}g/ml$, and 10% of the isolates were not much sensitive (tolerant) where $IC_{50}$ was > $100{\mu}g/ml$. Flutolanil was very safe on both shoots and roots of the tested cultivars ($IC_{50}\;>\;100{\mu}g/ml$). Treating cotton seeds with Flutolanil resulted in highly significant (P < 0.01) reductions in pathogenicity of 18 isolates and a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in pathogenicity of isolate $M_{29}.\;M_{1}$ was the only isolate, which was insensitive to the application of Flutolanil. In vivo toxicity to Flutolanil was not correlated with its in vitro toxicity. However, a highly significant correlation (r = 0.60, P < 0.01) was observed between pathogenicity of isolates and the in vivo toxicity of the fungicide.

The succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) is a class of fungicides, which is widely and rapidly used to manage fungal pathogens in the agriculture field. Currently, fungicide resistance to SDHIs has been developed in many different plant pathogenic fungi, causing diseases on crops, fruits, vegetables, and turf. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of fungicide resistance is important for effective prevention and resistance management strategies. Two different mechanisms have currently been known in SDHI resistance. The SDHI target genes, SdhB, SdhC, and SdhD, mutation(s) confer resistance to SDHIs. In addition, overexpression of ABC transporters is involved in reduced sensitivity to SDHI fungicides. In this review, the current status of SDHI resistance mechanisms in phytopathogenic fungi is discussed.

Net blotch of barley caused by Pyrenophora teres (Died.) Drechsler, is one of the most destructive diseases on barley in Algeria. It occurs in two forms: P. teres f. teres and P. teres f. maculata. A total of 212 isolates, obtained from 58 fields sampled in several barley growing areas, were assessed for fungicide sensitivity by target gene analysis. F129L and G137R mitochondrial cytochrome b substitution associated with quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs) resistance, and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) related mutations (B-H277, C-N75S, C-G79R, C-H134R, and C-S135R), were analyzed by pyrosequencing. In vitro sensitivity of 45 isolates, towards six fungicides belonging to three chemical groups (QoI, demethylase inhibitor, and SDHI) was tested by microtiter technique. Additionally, sensitivity towards three fungicides (azoxystrobin, fluxapyroxad, and epoxiconazole) was assessed in planta under glasshouse conditions. All tested isolates were QoI-sensitive and SDHI-sensitive, no mutation that confers resistance was identified. EC₅₀ values showed that pyraclostrobin and azoxystrobin are the most efficient fungicides in vitro, whereas fluxapyroxad displayed the best disease inhibition in planta (81% inhibition at 1/9 of the full dose). The EC₅₀ values recorded for each form of net blotch showed no significant difference in efficiency of QoI treatments and propiconazole on each form. However, in the case of fluxapyroxad, epoxiconazole and tebuconazole treatments, analysis showed significant differences in their efficiency. To our knowledge, this study is the first investigation related to mutations associated to QoI and SDHI fungicide resistance in Algerian P. teres population, as well as it is the first evaluation of the sensitivity of P. teres population towards these six fungicides.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor has been used to detect many biochemical reactions, because this label-free sensor has high sensitivity and rapid response. The reactions are monitored by refractive index changes of the SPR biosensor. Iprovalicarb is protective, curative, and eradicative systemic fungicide introduced by Bayer AG in 1999. It has potential far control of downy mildew infesting onion, cucumber, grape and melon, late blight infesting tomato and potato, and anthracnose infesting watermelon and pepper. It is strictly limited to the maximum residue limit. In this study, the applicability of a portable SPR biosensor (Spreeta, Texas instrument, TX, USA) to detect the iprovalicarb residue was examined. The sensor chip was adopted to detect the reaction of iprovalicarb to immobilized iprovalicarb-antibody. The binding of the iprovalicarb onto the biosensor surface was measured by change of the refractive index (RI). Characteristics of the sensor chip including specificity, sensitivity, stability, and reusability were analyzed. In calibration test for seven levels of iprovalicarb concentration (0.32 to 5,000 mg/L) with three replications, a Sigmoidal model with Hill function was obtained between relative RI value and the iprovalicarb concentration with R-square of 0.998. It took 30 minutes to complete a set of detecting assay with the SPR biosensor.

In 2009-2010, unusual symptoms were observed on Pleurotus eryngii grown in mushroom farms in Gyeongnam Province, Republic of Korea. One of the main symptoms was a cobweb-like growth of fungal mycelia over the surface of the mushroom. The colonies on the surface rapidly overwhelmed the mushrooms and developed several spores within 3-4 days. The colonized surface turned pale brown or yellow. The fruit body eventually turned dark brown and became rancid. Koch's postulates were completed by spraying and spotting using isolated strains. The phylogenetic tree obtained from the internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis showed that the isolated fungal pathogen corresponded to Cladobotryum mycophilum (99.5%). In the fungicide sensitivity tests, the $ED_{50}$ values for the isolate with respect to benomyl and carbendazim were from 0.29 to 0.31 ppm. Benzimidazole fungicides were most effective against C. mycophilum, a causal agent of cobweb disease in P. eryngii.

Survival factor 1 (Svf1) is a protein involved in cell survival pathways. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Svf1 is required for the diauxic growth shift and survival under stress conditions. In this study, we characterized the role of FgSvf1, the Svf1 homolog in the homothallic ascomycete fungus Fusarium graminearum. In the FgSvf1 deletion mutant, conidial germination was delayed, vegetative growth was reduced, and pathogenicity was completely abolished. Although the FgSvf1 deletion mutant produced perithecia, the normal maturation of ascospore was dismissed in deletion mutant. The FgSvf1 deletion mutant also showed reduced resistance to osmotic, fungicide, and cold stress and reduced sensitivity to oxidative stress when compared to the wild-type strain. In addition, we showed that FgSvf1 affects glycolysis, which results in the abnormal vegetative growth in the FgSvf1 deletion mutant. Further, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulated in the FgSvf1 deletion mutant, and this accumulated ROS might be related to the reduced sensitivity to oxidative stress and the reduced resistance to cold stress and fungicide stress. Overall, understanding the role of FgSvf1 in F. graminearum provides a new target to control F. graminearum infections in fields.

Sectors of rice blast fungus, Pyricularia grisea, frequently appeared on potato dextrose agar amended with edifenphos and iprobenfos. Thus, we assessed the sector-forming frequency of isolates of P. grisea and compared the fungicide sensitivity between wild types and sectors against the fungicides. The 905 isolates of the fungus were obtained from rice-growing locations in Korea from 1997-1998. When the isolates were grown on potato dextrose agar amended with minimal inhibitory concentrations of edifenphos (20 ${\mu}$g a.i./ml)and iprobenfos (55 ${\mu}$g a.i./ml), they produced sectors that overcame the effect of the fungicides. Among the 905 isolates tested, 9.0% produced sectors against edifenphos and 5.6%, against iprobenfos. Different sector-forming frequencies were also observed among the 11 locations of Korea. Sectors obtained from the fungicide-amended media generally grew more than their counterpart wild types grown on the media with either edifenphos or iprobenfos, regardless of their origins. In this study, greater relative growth of sectors over wild types of tested isolates can support the resistant characteristic of the fungus to survive against the fungicides. Therefore, the results indicate that the sectoring in rice blast fungus, P. grisea, may play a role in the occurrence of fungicide resistance.

2005년과 2006년에 인삼 잿빛곰팡이병균을 각각 89개와 147개씩을 분리하여 실험에 사용하였다. Carbendazim은 $EC_{50}$값이 $10.0{\mu}g/ml$ 이상을, carbendazim/diethofencarb 합제는 $0.2{\mu}g/ml$ 이상을 저항성 검정의 기준으로 하였다. 이 기준을 가지고서 두 종류의 살균제에 대한 저항성 균주의 분리 빈도를 조사하면 carbendazim의 경우, 2005년에 87.6%, 2006년에는 96.6%로 나타나, 포장에서 분리되는 대부분의 Botrytis cinerea가 저항성균인 것으로 밝혀졌다. Carbendazim/diethofencarb 합제의 경우에는 저항성 균주의 분리빈도는 2005년과 2006년에 각각 23.6%와 24.5%로 나타났다. Carbendazim/diethofencarb 합제는 지역에 따라서 저항성균의 분리 빈도가 크게 달랐다. 경기도 연천 지역의 경우 저항성 균주의 분리빈도가 2005년에는 4.3%였고, 2006년에는 저항성 균주가 전혀 분리되지 않았다. 이에 비하여 다른 지역의 경우 저항성 균주의 빈도가 크게 높았는데, 2005년에는 경북 봉화와 예천 그리고 경기도 파주의 저항성 균주의 빈도가 각각 35.5%, 70.0% 및 40.0%였고, 2006년에는 전북 정읍의 저항성 균주의 빈도가 47.1%였다. 따라서 carbendazim/diethofencarb 합제에 대한 저항성 검정이 포장에서 지속적으로 수행되어야 한다.
