Comprehensive analyses of the occurrence of a fungicide resistance marker and the genetic structure in Erysiphe necator populations.

ABSTRACT: Genetically distinct groups of Erysiphe necator, the fungus causing grapevine powdery mildew infect grapevine in Europe, yet the processes sustaining stable genetic differences between those groups are less understood. Genotyping of over 2000 field samples from six wine regions in Hungary collected between 2017 and 2019 was conducted to reveal E. necator genotypes and their possible differentiation. The demethylase inhibitor (DMI) fungicide resistance marker A495T was detected in all wine regions, in 16% of the samples. Its occurrence differed significantly among wine regions and grape cultivars, and sampling years, but it did not differ between DMI-treated and untreated fields. Multilocus sequence analyses of field samples and 59 in vitro maintained isolates revealed significant genetic d
