Definitions

• the present invention relates to the use of strobilurine type compounds of formula I and the N-oxides and the salts thereof for combating phytopathogenic fungi containing a mutation in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors, and to methods for combating such fungi.
• the invention also relates to novel compounds, processes for preparing these compounds, to compositions comprising at least one such compound, to plant health applications, and to seeds coated with at least one such compound.
• Qo inhibitor fungicides often refered to as strobilurin-type fungicides (Sauter 2007: Chapter 13.2. Strobilurins and other complex III inhibitors. In: Kramer, W.; Schirmer, U. (Ed.) - Modern Crop Protection Compounds. Volume 2. Wiley-VCH Verlag 457-495), are conventionally used to control a number of fungal pathogens in crops.
• Qo inhibitors typically work by inhibiting respiration by binding to a ubihydroquinone oxidation center of a cytochrome bci complex (electron transport complex III) in mitochondria. Said oxidation center is located on the outer side of the inner mitochrondrial membrane.
• a prime example of the use of Qo inhibitors includes the use of, for example, strobilurins on wheat for the control of Septoria tritici (also known as Mycosphaerella graminicola), which is the cause of wheat leaf blotch.
• Septoria tritici also known as Mycosphaerella graminicola
• widespread use of such Qo inhibitors has resulted in the selection of mutant pathogens which are resistant to such Qo inhibitors (Gisi et al., Pest Manag Sci 56, 833-841 , (2000). Resistance to Qo inhibitors has been detected in several phytopathogenic fungi such as Blumeria graminis, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, Pseudoperonspora cubensis or Venturia inaequalis.
• new methods and compositions are desirable for controlling pathogen induced diseases in crops comprising plants subjected to pathogens that are resistant to Qo inhibitors.
• the fungicidal activity of the known fungicidal strobilurin analogue compounds is unsatisfactory, especially in case that a high proportion of the fungal pathogens contain a mutation in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors. Based on this, it was also an object of the present invention to provide compounds having improved activity and/or a broader activity spectrum against phytopathogenic harmful fungi.
• Qo inhibitor includes any substance that is capable of diminishing and/or inhibiting respiration by binding to a ubihydroquinone oxidation center of a cytochrome bci complex in mitochondria.
• the oxidation center is typically located on the outer side of the inner mitochrondrial membrane.
• Qi inhibitors typically work by inhibiting respiration by binding to a ubihydroquinone oxidation center of a cytochrome bcl complex in mitochondria, the said oxidation center being located on the inner side of the inner mitochrondrial membrane.
