| Abstract: | Botrytis cinerea is able to build-up resistance to pyrrolnitrin, an antibiotic produced by diverse biocontrol agents, possibly compromising
the durability of this method of disease control. The development of two near-isogenic lines of B. cinerea differing in their level of resistance to pyrrolnitrin was compared in tomato plants and on PDA medium. In tomato plants,
significant differences in the percentage of infected petioles 1 day after inoculation and in symptom progression on petioles
and stems were observed between the resistant mutant and the sensitive wild-type parent, suggesting a difference in their
level of aggressiveness. Cytohistological investigations revealed that conidia of both near-isogenic lines germinated 6 h
after inoculation and mycelium developed within petiole tissues 12 h after inoculation. However, while the wild-type parent
isolate spread throughout the petiole and rapidly invaded the stem tissues via the leaf-abscission zone 72 h after inoculation, the pyrrolnitrin-resistant mutant failed to extend beyond petiole tissues
to invade the stem. Moreover, 72 h after inoculation, the mycelial development of the pyrrolnitrin-resistant mutant was accompanied
by abnormal glycogen accumulation and chlamydospore-like cell formation. In contrast, wild-type parent mycelium was normally
structured with intensive colonization of stem tissues. Additionally, on PDA medium the mycelium of the pyrrolnitrin-resistant
mutant was less vigorous than the wild-type isolate. These results suggest that the acquisition of pyrrolnitrin-resistance
in B. cinerea is accompanied by changes in mycelial structure and reduction in mycelial growth, leading to a noticeable loss of aggressiveness
on tomato plants. |
