Abstract

Grape production is increasing globally and so are problems with downy mildew, one of the main constraints in grape production. Downy mildew on grape is caused by Plasmopara viticola, an obligate biotrophic pathogen belonging to the oomycetes. Control of the disease is usually performed by fungicide applications, of which carboxylic acid amide (CAA) fungicides represent one of the most widely used groups of fungicides. Our previous research showed that the extensive application of CAA fungicides can result in fungicide resistance and in China, CAA-resistant isolates of P. viticola were collected from the field in 2014. To monitor the distribution and spread of CAA fungicide resistance, we developed a TaqMan-minor groove binder (MGB) real-time PCR-based method designed on a functional mutation in the PvCesA3 gene that allows efficient identification of CAA fungicide resistant and sensitive genotypes. The assay was validated on 50 isolates using Sanger sequencing and fungicide bioassays and exploited in a comprehensive survey comprising 2,227 single-sporangiophore isolates from eight major grapevine regions in China. We demonstrate that CAA fungicide resistance in P. viticola is widespread in China. On average, 53.3% of the isola...Continue Reading

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
