Effects of imazalil on sterol composition of sensitive and DMI-resistant isolates of Penicillium italicum
Imazalil differentially inhibited dry weight increase of 10-hour-old germlings of wild-type and DMI-resistant isolates ofPenicillium italicum in liquid malt cultures. EC50 values ranged from 0.005 to 0.27 μg ml−1

Characterisation of energy-dependent efflux of imazalil and fenarimol in isolates of Penicillium italicum with a low, medium and high degree of resistance to DMI-fungicides
Differential accumulation of [14C]imazalil and [14C]fenarimol by germlings of wild-type and DMI-resistant isolates ofPenicillium italicum was studied at various pH values. At pH 7 and 8 the low-resistant isolate ...
