Although carbendazim (MBC) and other benzimidazole fungicides have effectively controlled bakanae disease of rice (which is caused by Fusarium fujikuroi, F. proliferatum, and F. verticillioides) in the past, MBC resistance has become common. Previous research has shown that MBC resistance results from a mutation in the beta(1)-tubulin (beta(1)tub) gene in F. verticillioides. However, MBC resistance in F. fujikuroi, a predominant species in China, does not result from a mutation in the beta(1)tub. The molecular mechanism of F. fujikuroi resistance against benzimidazole fungicides is poorly understood. In this study, we determined that although beta(1)tub and beta(2)-tubulin (beta(2)tub) in F. fujikuroi have high homology with beta(1)tub and beta(2)tub in F. verticillioides, MBC resistance in F. fujikuroi results from mutations in beta(2)tub [GAG(Glu) -> GTG(Val) at codon 198, TTC(Phe) -> TAC (Tyr) at codon 200, and GGC(Gly) -> GGT(Gly) at codon 235] but not in beta(1)tub. Delta beta(2)tub (beta(2)tub deletion) mutants were highly sensitive to MBC, produced fewer conidia and were less virulent than parental strains. Complementation of the Delta beta(2)tub mutants with a copy of the whole beta(2)tub locus from their parental strains restored the level of MBC resistance (or sensitivity) to that of the parental strain.
