摘要
Alternaria leaf spot caused by Alternaria alternata and A. arborescens is a common disease of almond in California. Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are widely used for its management; however, we observed reduced performance of SDHI fungicides at some field sites. Thus, we evaluated the sensitivity to boscalid of 520 isolates of the main pathogen A. alternata collected from major production areas between 2006 and 2019, and also evaluated the sensitivity of a subset of 204 isolates to six members of the SDHIs belonging to six subgroups. Additionally, 97 isolates (14 sensitive and 83 with reduced sensitivity) of the 204 were used to determine the molecular mechanisms of resistance. A wide range of in vitro concentrations to effectively inhibit mycelial growth by 50% (EC50 values) was determined for each fungicide using the spiral gradient dilution method. Some isolates were highly resistant (EC50 values >10 mu g/ml) to boscalid (a pyridine-carboxamide), pyraziflumid (a pyrazine-carboxamide), and fluxapyroxad (a pyrazole-4-carboxamide), but not to fluopyram (a pyridinyl-ethyl-benzamide), isofetamid (a phenyl-oxo-ethyl thiophene amide), and pydiflumetofen (a N-methoxy-(phenyl-ethyl)-pyrazole-carboxamide). There was no strong cross resistance among the fungicides tested, including for the two pyrazole-4-carboxamides fluxapyroxad and penthiopyrad (tested for 33 of the 204 isolates). The comparison of EC50 values for fluopyram and isofetamid resulted in the highest coefficient of determination (R-2 = 0.582) among 10 pairwise comparisons between subgroups. Sequence analyses of the 97 isolates revealed five mutations in SdhB, SdhC, or SdhD subunits of the Sdh target gene among 73 isolates with reduced sensitivity to at least one SDHI. No mutations were detected in the 14 sensitive isolates and in 10 of the 83 isolates with reduced sensitivity. The most common mutation (59 isolates) was H134R in SdhC. Other mutations included H277Y (eight isolates) and H277L (two isolates) in SdhB, as well as G79R (two isolates) and S135R (two isolates) in SdhC. Mutations H277Y in SdhB and S135R in SdhC were only present in isolates collected in 2012 or earlier. Both conferred mostly high levels of resistance to boscalid and also reduced sensitivity to pyraziflumid, fluxapyroxad, and isofetamid with intermediate EC50 levels. Mutations H277L in SdhB, as well as H134R and G79R in SdhC, found in isolates obtained after 2012 had very similar resistance phenotypes with different levels of resistance to boscalid, pyraziflumid, and fluxapyroxad, whereas sensitivity to fluopyram, isofetamid, and pydiflumetofen was mostly less affected. Our data for SDHI fungicides do not support the classical concept of positive cross resistance within a single mode of action. Because some mutations conferred resistance to multiple SDHI subgroups, however, resistance management needs to consider all SDHIs as a homogenous group that should be mixed or rotated with other modes of action to delay development of resistance.
