Characterization of the mechanism of action of the fungicide fenpicoxamid and its metabolite UK‐2A

Abstract

Fenpicoxamid is a Qi inhibitor fungicide that provides a new mode of action for Z. tritici control. Mutational and modeling studies suggest that the active species UK-2A binds at the Qi site in a similar, but not identical, fashion to antimycin A. © 2017 The Authors.
