Abstract excerpt
Several agricultural fungicides related to the antifungal strobilurins act as inhibitors of respiration by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome b. Two types of laboratory mutants resisting higher doses of the strobilurin-related inhibitor kresoxim-methyl were characterized for Venturia inaequalis, the causal agent of apple scab. Selection of mutagenized conidia by kresoxim-methyl yielded mutants altered in the...
