from stone fruit in central and northern Greece was evaluated and the molecular basis for
resistance was investigated. M. laxa isolates were classified as benzimidazole–sensitive (S)
or highly resistant (HR) based on their sensitivity profiles to carbendazim. Thirty seven
percent of the isolates belonged to the HR phenotype, carried no apparent fitness penalties
and exhibited resistance factor values (based on EC50 values) greater than 500. Highly …
