Abstract
With the further application of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHI), the resistance caused by double mutations in target gene is gradually becoming a serious problem, leading to a decrease of control efficacy. It is important to assess the sensitivity and fitness of double mutations to SDHI in Corynespora cassiicola and analysis the evolution of double mutations. We confirmed, by site-directed mutagenesis, that all double mutations (B-I280V+D-D95E/D-G109V/D-H105R, B-H278R+D-D95E/D-G109V, B-H278Y+D-D95E/D-G109V) conferred resistance to all SDHI and exhibited the increased resistance to at least one fungicide than single point mutation. Analyses of fitness showed that all double mutations had lower fitness than the wild type; most of double mutations suffered more fitness penalties than the corresponding single mutants. We also further found that double mutations (B-I280V+D-D95E/D-G109V/D-H105R) containing low SDHI-resistant single point mutation (B-I280V) exhibited higher resistance to SDHI and low fitness penalty than double mutations (B-H278Y+D-D95E/D-G109V) containing high SDHI-resistant single mutations (B-H278Y). Therefore, we may infer that a single mutation conferring low resistance is more likely to evolve into a double mutation conferring higher resistance under the selective pressure of SDHI. Taken together, our results provide some important reference for resistance management.
