Resistance assessment for SYP-14288 in Phytophthora capsici and changes in mitochondria electric potential-associated respiration and ATP production confers resistance.

The low fitness of SYP-14288-resistant mutants suggests that the resistance risk of P. capsici to SYP-14288 is low. Resistance may be led by a permeability change in the mitochondrial inner membrane in SYP-14288-resistant isolates, and lower ATP consumption lifestyles may be key to the SYP-14288 resistance generated in P. capsici. The current study could benefit the registration and application of the novel fungicide SYP-14288. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
