Population, physiological, and genetic insights into carbendazim resistence in populations of the phytopathogenic fungus Microdochium nivale // J. Fungi. 2025. V. 11. I. 9. p. 639.
    Annotation Fungicide treatment is one of the most common methods for controlling fungal plant diseases. However, many phytopathogenic fungi develop resistance to fungicides. Addressing this agriculturally important issue requires comprehensive investigations into fungicide resistance. Our study aims to assess the degree and prevalence of resistance to carbendazim—one of the most widely used fungicides—in populations of Microdochium nivale, the causal agent of the deleterious plant disease pink snow mold; to explore possible relationships between carbendazim resistance and physiological and genetic traits; and to gain insight into the molecular basis of carbendazim resistance in this species. We showed that carbendazim resistance is widespread in the analyzed M. nivale populations, and that the application of carbendazim increases the proportion of resistant strains. Nevertheless, carbendazim-resistant strains are present at high relative abundance in populations that have never been exposed to fungicides. Carbendazim resistance in M. nivale is strongly associated with sequence variations in the β-tubulin gene, resulting in amino acid sequence variability that leads to differential affinity for carbendazim. Additionally, we propose a metabarcoding-based approach employing a genetic marker linked to a specific phenotypic trait to assess the ratio of genotypes with contrasting properties within a particular fungal species in environmental communities.
