Differentiation of Pythium spp. from vegetable crops with molecular markers and sensitivity to azoxystrobin and mefenoxam.
Pythium species attack various vegetable crops causing seed, stem and root rot, and 'damping-off' after germination. Pythium diseases are prevalently controlled by two classes of fungicides, QoIs with azoxystrobin and phenlyamides with mefenoxam as representatives. The present study aimed to test the sensitivity of six Pythium species from different vegetable crops to azoxystrobin and mefenoxam and differentiating species based on ITS, cytochrome b and RNA polymerase I gene sequences.. The inter- and intra-species sensitivity to azoxystrobin was found to be stable, with the exception of one Pythium paroecandrum isolate, which showed reduced sensitivity and two cytochrome b amino acid changes. For mefenoxam, the inter-species sensitivity was quite variable and many resistant isolates were found in all six Pythium species, but no RNA polymerase I amino acid changes were observed in them. ITS and cytochrome b phylogenetic analyses permitted a clear separation of Pythium species corresponding to globose- and filamentous-sporangia clusters.. The results document the necessity of well-defined chemical control strategies adapted to different Pythium species. Since the intrinsic activity of azoxystrobin among species was stable and no resistant isolates were found, it may be applied without species differentiation, provided it is used preventatively to also control highly aggressive isolates. For a reliable use of mefenoxam, precise identification and sensitivity tests of Pythium species are crucial because its intrinsic activity is variable and resistant isolates may exist. Appropriate mixtures and/or alternation of products may help to further delay resistance development. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Evidence of genetically diverse virulent mating types of Phytophthora capsici from Capsicum annum L.
Chili pepper (Capsicum annum L.) is an important economic crop that is severely destroyed by the filamentous oomycete Phytophthora capsici. Little is known about this pathogen in key chili pepper farms in Punjab province, Pakistan. We investigated the genetic diversity of P. capsici strains using standard taxonomic and molecular tools, and characterized their colony growth patterns as well as their disease severity on chili pepper plants under the greenhouse conditions. Phylogenetic analysis based on ribosomal DNA (rDNA), β-tubulin and translation elongation factor 1α loci revealed divergent evolution in the population structure of P. capsici isolates. The mean oospore diameter of mating type A1 isolates was greater than that of mating type A2 isolates. We provide first evidence of an uneven distribution of highly virulent mating type A1 and A2 of P. capsici that are insensitive to mefenoxam, pyrimorph, dimethomorph, and azoxystrobin fungicides, and represent a risk factor that could ease outpacing the current P. capsici management strategies.

Oxathiapiprolin-based fungicides provide enhanced control of tomato late blight induced by mefenoxam-insensitive Phytophthora infestans.
Oxathiapiprolin is a new fungicide with extremely high efficacy against oomycete plant pathogens. Solo components oxathiapiprolin (OXPT), chlorothalonil (CHT), azoxystrobin (AZ), mandipropamid (MPD), and mefenoxam (MFX) were compared with each other and with four oxathiapiprolin pre-packed fungicidal mixtures, OXPT+CHT 1+66.7, OXPT+AZ 1+10.3, OXPT+MPD 1+8.3, and OXPT+MFX 1+3 (weight active ingredient ratio), for control efficacy of late blight induced by MFX-insensitive Phytophthora infestans strains in tomato in growth chambers and the field. Mixtures performed better than all partner fungicides alone, except OXPT. Of the four mixtures, OXPT+MFX outperformed, with the highest preventive, curative, translaminar, and systemic efficacies. In the field, OXPT+MFX was superior to other fungicides in controlling late blight epidemics induced by MFX-insensitive isolates. Its deployment in the field will combat the dominating MFX-insensitive isolates, reduce the selection pressure imposed on P. infestans and delay the buildup of subpopulations resistant to oxathiapiprolin.
