Cross-resistance to azole fungicides in Zymoseptoria tritici disease of wheat

چکیده
approved: _______________________________________________________ Christopher Mundt Fungicide resistance has become an increasing problem in North American populations of Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of septoria leaf blotch of wheat. The goal of this experiment was to determine whether Z. tritici’s resistance to one azole fungicide would predict resistance in other fungicides within the same family. Cross-resistance could have implications on the fungicides available to treat the disease locally, as seen in Europe over the past decade. 178 isolates were harvested from leaves collected from two locations in the Willamette Valley. Isolates were grown in the presence of 12 serial dilutions of four different azole fungicides (cyproconazole, propiconazole, tebuconazole, and prothioconazole), their growth measured, and their respective EC50s calculated. In these assays strong cross-resistance was found between cyproconazole and propiconazole; weak cross resistance between cyproconazole and tebuconazole, propiconazole and tebuconazole, and prothioconazole and tebuconazole; and no crossresistance between cyproconazole and prothioconazole or prothioconazole and propiconazole. These findings have significant implications for the Willamette Valley wheat industry; namely, growers can continue to use a diversity of azole fungicides to successfully control Z. tritici.

Early molecular signatures of responses of wheat to Zymoseptoria tritici in compatible and incompatible interactions
Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of septoria tritici blotch, a serious foliar disease of wheat, is a necrotrophic pathogen that undergoes a long latent period. Emergence of insensitivity to fungicides, and pesticide reduction policies, mean there is a pressing need to understand septoria and control it through greater varietal resistance. Stb6 and Stb15, the most common qualitative resist...

BACKGROUND The development of novel highly efficacious fungicides that lack cross-resistance is extremely desirable. Fenpicoxamid (Inatreq™ active) possesses these characteristics and is a member of a novel picolinamide class of fungicides derived from the antifungal natural product UK-2A. RESULTS Fenpicoxamid strongly inhibited in vitro growth of several ascomycete fungi, including Zymosepto...

The ascomycete Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria leaf blotch on wheat. Disease control relies mainly on resistant wheat cultivars and on fungicide applications. The fungus displays a high potential to circumvent both methods. Resistance against all unisite fungicides has been observed over decades. A different type of resistance has emerged among wild populations with multidr...
