Abstract excerpt
Optimal disease management depends on the ability to monitor the development of fungicide resistance in plant pathogen populations. Benzimidazole resistance is caused by the point mutations of the β-tubulin gene in Botrytis cinerea, and three mutations (E198A, E198K, and E198V) at codon 198 account for more than 98% of all resistant strains. Although traditional methods remain a cornerstone in monitoring...
