In order to obtain molecular data concerning field resistance of Uncinula necator, the causal agent of grape powdery mildew, to sterol demethylation inhibitors, a major group of fungicides, the gene encoding the target of these compounds (eburicol 14 alpha-demethylase) was cloned and sequenced from this obligately biotrophic phytopathogenic fungus. This single-copy gene encodes a 524 amino acid protein which displays high similarity to other known sterol 14 alpha-demethylases (CYP51s). The coding sequence is interrupted by two short introns at positions identical to introns in Penicillium italicum CYP51, which is the only other known CYP51 gene in which introns have been identified. Intron excision was verified by cDNA sequencing. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
