Journal ArticleDOI

Botrytis cinerea: the cause of grey mould disease

TL;DR: New evidence suggests that the pathogen triggers the host to induce programmed cell death as an attack strategy, which could offer new approaches for stable polygenic resistance in future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Analysis of the Necrotrophic Fungal Pathogens Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea

Joelle Amselem, +76 more

TL;DR: Comparative genome analysis revealed the basis of differing sexual mating compatibility systems between S. sclerotiorum and B. cinerea, and shed light on the evolutionary and mechanistic bases of the genetically complex traits of necrotrophic pathogenicity and sexual mating.
Journal ArticleDOI

Licensed to kill: the lifestyle of a necrotrophic plant pathogen

TL;DR: Targeted mutagenesis studies are unraveling the roles played in the infection process by a variety of B. cinerea genes that are required for penetration, host cell killing, plant tissue decomposition or signaling.
