Fungicide Resistance: Progress in Understanding Mechanism, Monitoring, and Management

Fungicide treatments are often essential for maintaining healthy crops and to achieve reliable and high-quality yields. However, continued use of fungicides with the same modes of action can lead to development of fungicide resistance, which has emerged in various plant pathogens and is a serious threat to effective crop protection. Exploration of resistance mechanisms is critical for resistance monitoring and management. This brief review summarizes advances during the past five decades in understanding the molecular resistance mechanisms of plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes to major classes of fungicides, including benzimidazoles, myosin inhibitors, sterol demethylation inhibitors, quinone outside…
