Abstract:[Background] Botrytis cinerea is a pathogen causing gray mold, posing a serious threat to the yields of various important economic crops. Chemical control is an effective prevention and control measure, and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) are commonly used fungicides for controlling gray mold. However, B. cinerea has developed resistance to SDHI. [Objective] To establish a method for rapidly detecting B. cinerea strains with resistance to SDHI. [Methods] We designed specific primers based on the point mutation SdhBP225F and optimized the annealing temperature and internal reference primer concentration of the PCR system. We then evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and stability of allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR). Finally, AS-PCR detection with rapidly extracted DNA from field strains as templates was conducted, and the detection results were compared with sequencing results. [Results] The AS-PCR with primers P225F-3F/P225F-R stably distinguished between resistant and sensitive strains at an annealing temperature of 58 ℃ and an internal reference primer concentration of 2.5 μmol/L, with the sensitivity of 10 fg/μL. The AS-PCR detection results of strains in the field were consistent with the sequencing results. [Conclusion] The AS-PCR detection method has simple operation, high sensitivity, and strong specificity, serving as a feasible method for rapid detection of B. cinerea strains with resistance to SDHI in the field.
