C239S Mutation in the β-Tubulin of Phytophthora sojae Confers Resistance to Zoxamide

C239S Mutation in the β-Tubulin of Phytophthora sojae Confers Resistance to Zoxamide

Zoxamide is the sole β-tubulin inhibitor registered for the control of oomycete pathogens. The current study investigated the activity of zoxamide against Phytophthora sojae and baseline sensitivity was established with a mean EC50 of 0.048 μg/ml. The data is critical for monitoring changes in zoxamide-sensitivity in the field. Three stable resistant mutants with a high resistance level were ob...

M233I Mutation in the β-Tubulin of Botrytis cinerea Confers Resistance to Zoxamide

Three phenotypes were detected in 161 Botrytis cinerea field isolates, including Zox(S)Car(S) (sensitive to zoxamide and carbendazim), Zox(S)Car(R) (sensitive to zoxamide and resistant to carbendazim), and Zox(R)Car(R) (resistant to zoxamide and carbendazim), but not Zox(R)Car(S) (resistant to zoxamide and sensitive to carbendazim). The baseline sensitivity to zoxamide was determined with a mea...

Genetic Diversity of Phytophthora Sojae in Iran

Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate genetic variability and phonetic relationships of 50 isolates of P. sojae from Iran. Methods: During 2005–2007, 142 isolates of Phytophthora sojae were collected from soil samples and diseased soybean plants from Lorestan, Mazandaran, Golestan and Ardabil provinces. Races of the isolates were determined. DNA of P. sojae...
