To provide a high-throughput, efficient, and accurate method to monitor multiple-fungicide resistance of Botrytis cinerea in the field, we used the suspension array, sequencing, and mycelial growth assay in our research. Discriminating-dose bioassays for detecting carbendazim, diethofencarb, boscalid, and iprodione resistance (CarR, DieR, BosR, and IprR, respectively) were used to analyze 257 isolates collected from Hebei Province in China during 2016 and 2017. High resistance frequencies to carbendazim (100%), diethofencarb (92.08%), and iprodione (86.59%) were detected. BosR isolates accounted for 11.67% of the total. In addition, 103 isolates were randomly selected for phenotype and genotype detection. The high-throughput suspension array was utilized to detect eight genotypes simultaneously, including BenA-E198, BenA-198A, SdhB-H272, SdhB-272Y, BcOS1-I365, BcOS1-365S, erg27-F412, and erg27-412S, which were associated with resistance toward carbendazim or diethofencarb, boscalid, iprodione, and fenhexamid (FenR), respectively. Most of the benzimidazole-resistant isolates (81.55%) possessed the E198V mutation in the BenA gene. Ninety-three isolates with dual resistance to carbendazim and diethofencarb showed the E198V/K mutation. All BosR isolates carried the H272R mutation in the SdhB gene. The I365S and Q369P+N373S (66.99%) mutations in the BcOS1 gene were more frequently observed. No mutation was detected in the erg27 gene in Hebei isolates. There were 13 resistance profile phenotypes. Phenotypes with triple resistance were the most common (83.50%), and CarRDieRBosSIprRFenS was the major type. CarR isolates that carried E198V/K/A were all highly resistant (HR) and only one F200Y mutant was moderately resistant (MR) to carbendazim. Isolates that possessed E198V/K were MR or HR to diethofencarb. BosR isolates that possessed H272R mutation were lowly resistant (LR). IprR isolates were all LR or MR. The distribution of half maximal effective concentrations of CarR isolates with E198V/K mutations and IprR isolates with Q369P+N373S mutations significantly increased from 2016 to 2017. Combined with our observations, a combination method of the high-throughput suspension array and the mycelial growth assay was suggested to accurately monitor multiple resistance of B. cinerea in the field.

Botrytis cinerea is a pathogen with high genetic variability that has also shown high risk for fungicide resistance development. In total, 1,169 isolates obtained from strawberry (n = 297) and tomato (n = 872) in five geographic regions of Greece were tested for their sensitivity to several botryticides. A high frequency of isolates with multiple resistance to carbendazim, cyprodinil, pyraclostrobin, and boscalid was found in isolates from strawberry. In the isolates from tomato, the predominant phenotype was that of dual resistance to carbendazim and cyprodinil in the Crete island, of single resistance to carbendazim in the region of Preveza, and of sensitive isolates in the region of Kyparissia. None of the tested isolates was found to be fludioxonil resistant. High frequencies of boscalid-resistant phenotypes were observed in the strawberry isolates, while boscalid-resistance frequency in the tomato isolates was lower. H272R was the predominant sdhB mutation, associated with resistance to boscalid, in all the sampled isolates, while other sdhB mutations were found at low frequencies. B. cinerea group S, identified by the presence of a 21-bp insertion in the transcription factor mrr1 gene, was predominant within the tomato isolates obtained from all three sampled regions, with frequencies ranging from 62 to 75% of the isolates; whereas, within strawberry isolates, B. cinerea was predominant, with frequencies of 75 to 95%. Correlations of isolate genotype and fungicide resistance profile showed that B. cinerea sensu stricto isolates were more prone to the development of resistance to boscalid compared with the Botrytis group S isolates, which may explain the observed predominance of B. cinerea sensu stricto in strawberry fields.

AbstractGray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is an economically important disease of grapes in Australia and across grape growing regions worldwide. Control of this disease relies heavily on canopy management and the application of single site fungicides. Fungicide application can lead to the selection of fungicide resistant B. cinerea populations, which has an adverse effect on the chemical control of the disease. Characterising the distribution and severity of resistant B. cinerea populations is needed to inform resistance management strategies. In this study, 725 isolates were sampled from 75 Australian vineyards during 2013 – 2016 and were screened against seven fungicides with different MOAs. The resistance frequencies for azoxystrobin, boscalid, fenhexamid, fludioxonil, iprodione, pyrimethanil and tebuconazole were 5, 2.8, 2.1, 6.2, 11.6, 7.7 and 2.9% respectively. Nearly half of the resistant isolates (43.7%) were resistant to more than one of the fungicides tested. The frequency of vineyards with at least one isolate simultaneously resistant to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 fungicides was 19.5, 7.8, 6.5, 10.4 and 2.6%.Resistance was associated with previously published genotypes in CytB (G143A), SdhB (H272R/Y), Erg27 (F412S), Mrr1 (D354Y), Os1 (I365S, N373S + Q369P, I365S + D757N) and Pos5 (P319A, L412F). Expression analysis was used to characterise fludioxonil resistant isolates exhibiting overexpression (6.3 - 9.6-fold) of the ABC transporter encoded by AtrB (MDR1 phenotype). Novel genotypes were also described in Mrr1 (S611N, D616G) and Cyp51 (P357S). Resistance frequencies were lower when compared to most previously published surveys of both grape and non-grape B. cinerea resistance. Nonetheless, continued monitoring of critical chemical groups used in Australian vineyards is recommended.

Botrytis cinerea Pers. infects cut flower roses (Rosa × hybrida L.) during greenhouse production and gray mold symptoms are often expressed in the postharvest environment, resulting in significant economic losses. Disease management is based on cultural practices and preventative chemical treatments; however, gray mold outbreaks continue to occur. Rose tissues from six commercial shipments from two greenhouses in Colombia were evaluated to determine the Botrytis species composition as well as identify other pathogens present, gray mold incidence and severity, and fungicide resistance profiles. Botrytis isolates (49 total) were grouped into six morphological phenotypes, and all were identified to be B. cinerea sensu stricto. Disease incidence was higher in the petals than in the stem, stamen, ovary, sepal, or leaf tissues. Other fungi were isolated infrequently and included Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Epicoccum nigrum, Penicillium citrinum, Aspergillus brasiliensis, and Diplodia sp. Fungicide resistance profiles were determined using previously established discriminatory doses. Isolates resistant to thiophanate-methyl, iprodione, boscalid, and cyprodinil were found frequently in all shipments and in both greenhouses. The frequency of resistance to penthiopyrad, fenhexamid, fluopyram, isofetamid, and fludioxonil varied between shipments and greenhouses. No resistance to pydiflumetofen was observed at the discriminatory doses tested. Isolates with resistance to multiple chemical classes were commonly found. These results indicate that fungicide resistance management practices may improve preharvest and postharvest gray mold control of cut flower roses.

Early blight of potato is caused by the fungal pathogen Alternaria solani and is an increasing problem worldwide. The primary strategy to control the disease is applying fungicides such as succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHI). SDHI-resistant strains, showing reduced sensitivity to treatments, appeared in Germany in 2013, five years after introduction of SDHIs. Two primary mutations in the Sdh complex (SdhB-H278Y and SdhC-H134R) have been frequently found throughout Europe. How these resistances arose and spread, and whether they are linked to other genomic features, remains unknown. We performed whole-genome sequencing for A. solani isolates from potato fields across Europe (Germany, Sweden, Belgium, and Serbia) to better understand the pathogen's genetic diversity in general and understand the development and spread of the genetic mutations that lead to SDHI resistance. We used ancestry analysis and phylogenetics to determine the genetic background of 48 isolates. The isolates can be grouped into 7 genotypes. These genotypes do not show a geographical pattern but appear spread throughout Europe. The Sdh mutations appear in different genetic backgrounds, suggesting they arose independently, and the observed admixtures might indicate a higher adaptive potential in the fungus than previously thought. Our research gives insights into the genetic diversity of A. solani on a genome level. The mixed occurrence of different genotypes and apparent admixture in the populations indicate higher genomic complexity than anticipated. The conclusion that SDHI tolerance arose multiple times independently has important implications for future fungicide resistance management strategies. These should not solely focus on preventing the spread of isolates between locations but also on limiting population size and the selective pressure posed by fungicides in a given field to avoid the rise of new mutations in other genetic backgrounds.
