Cucumber target leaf spot caused by Corynespora cassiicola has devastated greenhouse cucumber production. In our previous study, the resistance monitoring of C. cassiicola to carbendazim was carried out, and a large number of resistant populations carrying various mutations (M163I&E198A, F167Y&E198A, F200S&E198A, or E198A) in ß-tubulin were detected. However, the single-point mutations M163I, F167Y, and F200S have remained undetected. To investigate the evolutionary mechanism of double mutations in ß-tubulin of C. cassiicola resistance to benzimidazoles, site-directed mutagenesis was used to construct alleles with corresponding mutation genotypes in ß-tubulin. Through PEG-mediated protoplast transformation, all the mutants except for the M163I mutation were obtained and conferred resistance to benzimidazoles. It was found that the mutants conferring the E198A or double-point mutations showed high resistance to carbendazim and benomyl, but the mutants conferring the F167Y or F200S mutations showed moderate resistance. Except, the F200S mutants showed low resistance, the resistance level of the other mutants to thiabendazole seemed no difference. In addition, compared to the other mutants, the F167Y and F200S mutants suffered a more severe fitness penalty in mycelial growth, sporulation, and virulence. Thus, combined with the resistance level, fitness, and molecular docking results, we concluded that the field double mutations (F167Y&E198A and F200S&E198A) evolved from the single mutations F167Y and F200S, respectively.
