Key points
- Four Fusarium asiaticum isolates resistant to pydiflumetofen were identified from 4088 field samples.
- The A83V single-point mutation in the FaSdhC2 gene was confirmed to confer pydiflumetofen resistance.
- Resistant isolates showed no significant fitness costs in terms of growth, sporulation, pathogenicity, or stress tolerance.
- A rapid, visual LAMP assay was developed to detect the FaSdhC2A83V mutation in 55 minutes, with 100-fold higher sensitivity than PCR.

Abstract
Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) is a devastating disease worldwide. The new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor pydiflumetofen is highly effective against FHB, but its growing use raises resistance concerns. In this study, we identified four resistant Fusarium asiaticum isolates from 4088 field isolates collected across eight provinces in China in 2025. Gene replacement tests confirmed that the single-point mutation A83V of FaSdhC2 confers resistance. Notably, the resistant isolates did not exhibit significant fitness costs related to pydiflumetofen-resistance in terms of mycelial growth, sporulation, pathogenicity, and stress tolerance. To facilitate field monitoring, we developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay targeting the FaSdhC2A83V mutation. This method is easy to operate, provides visual results within 55 min of amplification and is 100-fold more sensitive than conventional PCR. In conclusion, the LAMP assay established in this study provides a practical tool for rapid on-site monitoring of fungicide resistance and can effectively guide the rational use of fungicides in the field.
