Sublethal tebuconazole exposure enhances pathogenicity and resistance development in <scp> <i>Sclerotium rolfsii</i> </scp>
Tebuconazole (EC₁₀, EC₂₅, and EC₃₀) may induce sclerotial germination, enhance virulence, and upregulate expression of a target gene in S. rolfsii, which could pose threats to both effective disease control and fungicide resistance development in this pathogen. The results advance the understanding of tebuconazole toxicity against S. rolfsii and guide its control strategies. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
