Many cases of fungicide resistance are caused by homologous mutations in the target genes. As the genes differ in length in different pathogen species, the numbering of homologous mutations can cause confusion. We introduced the idea of giving ‘labels’ to homologous mutations based on alignment to an archetype sequence (Mair et al. (2016). Cases of resistance-associated mutation published since the last Reinhardsbrunn meeting are listed in the tables below. In some cases, the archetype gene sequence has been given a new identifier. A complete list is available from the authors. The species abbreviations are given at gd.eppo.int. The alignments were defined using FRAST—a Fungicide Resistance Alignment Sequence Tool—https://www.frast.com.au/ (Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
