Metyltetraprole, a novel putative complex III inhibitor, targets known QoI-resistant strains of Zymoseptoria tritici and Pyrenophora teres.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Metyltetraprole is a new fungicide with a unique tetrazolinone-moiety and a similar side chain to a known quinone outside inhibitor (QoI), pyraclostrobin. In this study we describe a unique bioactivity of metyltetraprole on QoI-resistant strains of Zymoseptoria tritici and Pyrenophora teres. RESULTS:Metyltetraprole exhibited potent antifungal activity against Ascomycetes; it was especially effective against Z. tritici and P. teres in seedling pot tests. Metyltetraprole was also effective in field tests with QoI-resistant mutants. Antifungal activity tests using field strains of Z. tritici and P. teres showed that the performance of metyltetraprole was unaltered by QoI, succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI), and sterol 14?-demethylation inhibitor (DMI) resistance. However, the mitochondrial activity test indicated that the compound inhibits the respiratory chain via complex III. CONCLUSION:Metyltetraprole is a novel fungicide that is highly effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including important cereal diseases. Although metyltetraprole most likely inhibits the respiratory chain via complex III, it remains effective against QoI resistant strains. Therefore, metyltetraprole is considered as a novel fungicidal agent for controlling diseases affecting cereal crops and overcoming pathogen resistance to existing fungicides. © 2018 The Authors.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Net blotch caused by Pyrenophra teres f. teres is a major foliar disease of barley. Infection can result in significant yield losses of susceptible cultivars of up to 40%. Of the two forms of net blotch (P. teres f. teres and P. teres f. maculata), P. teres f. teres (net form of net blotch) is the dominant one in Russia. The goal of the current study was to identify genomic regions associated with seedling resistance to several pathotypes of the net form of net blotch in Siberian spring barley genotypes. For this, a genome-wide association study of a Siberian barley collection, genotyped with 50?K Illumina SNP-chip, was carried out. RESULTS:Seedling resistance of 94 spring barley cultivars and lines to four Pyrenophora teres f. teres isolates (S10.2, K5.1, P3.4.0, and A2.6.0) was investigated. According to the Tekauz rating scale, 25, 21, 14, and 14% of genotypes were highly resistant, and 19, 8, 9, and 16% of genotypes were moderate-resistant to the isolates S10.2, K5.1, P3.4.0, and A2.6.0, respectively. Eleven genotypes (Alag-Erdene, Alan-Bulag, L-259/528, Kedr, Krymchak 55, Omsky golozyorny 2, Omsky 13709, Narymchanin, Pallidum 394, Severny and Viner) were resistant to all studied isolates. Nine additional cultivars (Aley, Barkhatny, Belogorsky, Bezenchuksky 2, Emelya, G-19980, Merit 57, Mestny Primorsky, Slavaynsky) were resistant to 3 of the 4 isolates. The phenotyping and genotyping data were analysed using several statistical models: GLM?+?Q, GLM?+?PCA, GLM?+?PCA?+?Q, and the MLM?+?kinship matrix. In total, 40 SNPs in seven genomic regions associated with net blotch resistance were revealed: the region on chromosome 1H between 57.3 and 62.8?cM associated with resistance to 2 isolates (to P3.4.0 at the significant and K5.1 at the suggestive levels), the region on chromosome 6H between 52.6 and 55.4?cM associated with resistance to 3 isolates (to P3.4.0 at the significant and K5.1 and S10.2 at the suggestive levels), three isolate-specific significant regions (P3.4.0-specific regions on chromosome 2H between 71.0 and 74.1?cM and on chromosome 3H between 12.1 and 17.4?cM, and the A2.6.0-specific region on chromosome 3H between 50.9 and 54.8?cM), as well as two additional regions on chromosomes 2H (between 23.2 and 23.8?cM, resistant to S10.2) and 3 (between 135.6 and 137.5?cM resistant to K5.1) with suggestive SNPs, coinciding, however, with known net blotch resistance quantitative trait loci (QTLs) at the same regions. CONCLUSIONS:Seven genomic regions on chromosomes 1H, 2H, 3H, and 6H associated with the resistance to four Pyrenophora teres f. teres isolates were identified in a genome-wide association study of a Siberian spring barley panel. One novel isolate-specific locus on chromosome 3 between 12.1 and 17.4?cM was revealed. Other regions identified in the current study coincided with previously known loci conferring resistance to net blotch. The significant SNPs revealed in the current study can be converted to convenient PCR markers for accelerated breeding of resistant barley cultivars.

Project description:BackgroundPathogens evolve in an arms race, frequently evolving virulence that defeats resistance genes in their hosts. Infection of multiple hosts may accelerate this virulence evolution. Theory predicts that host diversity affects pathogen diversity, with more diverse hosts expected to harbour more diverse pathogens that reproduce sexually. We tested this hypothesis by comparing the microsatellite (SSR) genetic diversity of the barley leaf pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) from barley (monoculture) and barley grass (outbreeding). We also aim to investigate host specificity and attempt to track virulence on two barley cultivars, Maritime and Keel.ResultsGenetic diversity in barley Ptt populations was higher than in populations from barley grass. Barley Ptt populations also had higher linkage disequilibrium levels, indicating less frequent sexual reproduction, consistent with the Red Queen hypothesis theory that genetically diverse hosts should select for higher levels of sexual reproduction of the pathogen. SSR analyses indicate that host-associated Ptt populations do not share genotypes and have independent evolutionary histories. Pathogenicity studies showed host specificity as host-associated Ptt isolates could not cross-infect hosts. Minimum spanning network analyses indicated two major clusters of barley Ptt. One cluster represents Maritime virulent and isolates from Western Australia (WA). Low PhiPt population differentiation between WA populations and those from Maritime and Keel, indicated a WA origin of the Maritime and Keel virulences. The main minimum spanning network cluster is represented by a panmictic population structure, represented by isolates from all over Australia.ConclusionsAlthough barley Ptt populations are more diverse than barley grass Ptt populations, this may be a result of the size and number of founder Ptt populations to Australia, with larger and more barley Ptt populations introduced. More frequent sexual reproduction of Ptt on barley grass support the Red Queen Hypothesis and suggest evolutionary potential of pathogens on diverse hosts are high. Extensive gene flow of Ptt between regions in Australia is suggested to maintain a panmictic population structure, with human-mediated dispersal aiding in virulence evolution of Ptt on barley.
