Popis: The addition of tridemorph (125 μM) during growth of fenugreek seedlings or the addition of fenpropimorph (125 μM) in the culture medium of fenugreek cell suspensions resulted in a large accumulation of 9β,19-cyclopropyl sterols (about 50% of total sterols) concomitant with a decrease in the Δ5-sterol content (40–50% of total sterols compared with more than 90% in control cultures). However the 9β,19-cyclopropyl sterols accumulated differed depending on the tissue studied—fenugreek roots or cells. In roots of seedlings treated with tridemorph, pollinastanol and 4α,14α-dimethyl-9β,19-cyclo-5α-cholestan-3β-ol were the major cyclopropyl sterols while in treated-cell suspensions with fenpropimorph, 24-methylenepollinastanol and 24-methylpollinastanol were the major sterols. These results indicated that these compounds inhibited the cycloeucalenol-obtusifoliol-isomerase (COI). Moreover, in roots as well as in cell suspensions, these inhibitors led to a weak accumulation of Δ8-sterols indicating that Δ8 → Δ7 isomerase was also affected. Finally, we observed that only fenpropimorph induced an accumulation of Δ8, 14-sterols in cell suspensions, showing that Δ14-reductase can also be inhibited by this fungicide.
