Abstract

In recent years, Botrytis cinerea has led to serious yield losses because of its resistance to fungicides. Many sulfonamides with improved properties have been used. (1S,2R-((3-bromophenethyl)amino)-N-(4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)cyclohexane-1-sulfonamide) (abbreviation: SYAUP-CN-26) is a new sulfonamide compound that has excellent activity against B. cinerea. This study investigated the effect of SYAUP-CN-26 on electric conductivity, nucleic acids leakage, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and reducing sugars and membrane structure reduction of B. cinerea. The results showed that the cell membrane permeability of B. cinerea increased with increasing concentrations of SYAUP-CN-26; meanwhile, the sugar content decreased, the malondialdehyde content increased, and relative electric conductivity and nucleic acid substance leakage were observed in the cell after exposure to 19.263 mg/L SYAUP-CN-26 for 24 h. After 48 h of exposure to 1.823 mg/L and 19.263 mg/L SYAUP-CN-26, the cell membranes of B. cinerea mycelia were observed to be damaged under propidium iodide (PI) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. It is assumed that SYAUP-CN-26 was responsible for the damage of cell membrane. Overall, the results indicate that SYAUP-CN-26 could inhibit the growth of B. cinerea cells by damaging the cell membranes.
