Abstract: 
The basis for resistance to MBC [methyl benzimidazol-2-yl carbamate] was investigated with 3 susceptible (S:ED50 = 0.05 .mu.g/ml) and 3 resistant (R: ED50 = > 100 .mu.g/ml) strains of B. cinerea. On the average, uptake of 14C-2-MBC was 44% less in R than in S strains. Both, S and R strains metabolized MBC to methyl 5-hydroxybenzimidazol-2-yl carbamate at 14 and 17%, respectively. On the average, tubulin-like proteins (MW 112,000) of R strains bound 73% less 14C-2-MBC than those of S strains. Reduced uptake and lesser binding of MBC to tubulin-like proteins contribute towards resistance of B. cinerea to MBC.
