Characterization, Molecular Mechanism of Prochloraz-Resistance in and Development of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Rapid Detection Technique Based on the S312T Genotype of Resistances.

Rice bakanae disease (RBD) is a typical seed-borne fungal disease caused by . Prochloraz is a sterol demethylation inhibitor, which is among the most important classes of active ingredients for the management of RBD. In 2022, the total resistance frequency of to prochloraz in Zhejiang Province was 62.67%. The fitness of the prochloraz-resistant population was lower than that of the susceptible population, but its pathogenicity was slightly stronger. The S312T and F511S double mutations of were detected in the resistant isolates. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology based on S312T was established to rapidly determine prochloraz resistance in . LAMP primer mismatch design was performed based on the gene, and 100-300 bp sequences containing a mutation at codon 312 were amplified. In a 25 µL reaction tube, 1 pg/µL DNA of could be detected. The detection limit for the frequency of prochloraz resistance was 0.498% using this method. We performed LAMP detection on rice seedlings inoculated with prochloraz-sensitive and -resistant isolates and treated them with prochloraz. Prochloraz demonstrated good control in rice seedlings. A chromogenic reaction was observed in seedlings treated with prochloraz-resistant isolates, and the results were verified using electrophoresis. It has been demonstrated that LAMP technology based on the S312T genotype can quickly and specifically detect prochloraz-resistant isolates in rice seedlings.
