Propiconazole inhibits the sterol 14α-demethylase in Glomus irregulare like in phytopathogenic fungi
چکیده انگلیسی

The increasing concentrations impact (0.02, 0.2 and 2 mg L−1) of a Sterol Biosynthesis Inhibitor (SBI) fungicide, propiconazole, was evaluated on development and sterol metabolism of two non-target organisms: mycorrhizal or non-mycorrhizal transformed chicory roots and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Glomus irregulare using monoxenic cultures. In this work, we provide the first evidence of a direct impact of propiconazole on the AMF by disturbing its sterol metabolism. A significant decrease in end-products sterols contents (24-methylcholesterol and in 24-ethylcholesterol) was observed concomitantly to a 24-methylenedihydrolanosterol accumulation indicating the inhibition of a key enzyme in sterol biosynthesis pathway, the sterol 14α-demethylase like in phytopathogenic fungi. A decrease in end-product sterol contents in propiconazole-treated roots was also observed suggesting a slowing down of the sterol metabolism in plant. Taken together, our findings suggest that the inhibition of the both AM symbiotic partners development by propiconazole results from their sterol metabolism alterations.


► Propiconazole exhibits a phyto- and a fungitoxicity on both AM symbiotic partners resulting in inhibition of their development.
► The SBI fungicide inhibits a key enzyme in sterol biosynthesis pathway of Glomus irregulare, the sterol 14α-demethylase.
► Propiconazole induces a slowing down of the root sterol metabolism.
► The development inhibition of the both AM symbiotic partners could be explained by their sterol metabolism alterations.
