Colletotrichum spp. isolates contain two paralogous CYP51 genes that encode sterol 14-demethylase enzymes; however, their role in sensitivity to demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides is yet to be determined. In this study, each of the two genes from Colletotrichum fioriniae and C. nymphaeae was able to rescue the function of CYP51 in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, demonstrating their independent function. Deletion of CYP51A led to increased sensitivity to propiconazole, diniconazole, prothioconazole, cyproconazole, epoxiconazole, flutriafol, prochloraz, and difenoconazole in C. fioriniae, and to the same fungicides and tebuconazole in C. nymphaeae, with the exception of prochloraz. Deletion of CYP51B in C. fioriniae and CYP51B in C. nymphaeae made mutants increasingly sensitive to five of nine DMI fungicides tested. The results suggest species-specific, differential binding of DMI fungicides onto the two CYP51 enzymes. Pairing DMIs with different effects on CYP51A and -B deletion mutants resulted in synergistic effects, as determined in mycelial growth inhibition experiments. Deletion mutants showed no fitness penalty in terms of mycelial growth, sporulation, and virulence. Our study elucidates the effect of CYP51A and CYP51B of Colletotrichum spp. on DMI sensitivity, suggesting that using a mixture of DMIs may improve the efficacy for anthracnose management.

The biological effects of short-wave ultraviolet light has generally been described in terms of changes in cell growth or survival rates and production of chromosomal aberrations. Ultrastructural changes following exposure of cells to ultraviolet light, particularly at 265 nm, have not been reported.We have developed a means of irradiating populations of cells grown in vitro to a monochromatic ultraviolet laser beam at a wavelength of 265 nm based on the method of Johnson. The cell types studies were: i) WI-38, a human diploid fibroblast; ii) CMP, a human adenocarcinoma cell line; and iii) Don C-II, a Chinese hamster fibroblast cell strain. The cells were exposed either in situ or in suspension to the ultraviolet laser (UVL) beam. Irradiated cell populations were studied either "immediately" or following growth for 1-8 days after irradiation.Differential sensitivity, as measured by survival rates were observed in the three cell types studied. Pattern of ultrastructural changes were also different in the three cell types.
