Insights into the molecular interplay of virulence factors in Botrytis cinerea

Insights into the molecular interplay of virulence factors in Botrytis cinerea Botrytis cinerea is a typical necrotrophic pathogen accountable for inflicting disease in a wide range of host plants. The fungus possesses a large number of enzymes and metabolites that are released at different stages of invasion. Furthermore it manipulates the plant hypersensitive response and promotes programmed cell death as a part of its virulence strategy. Molecular-genetic approaches along with genome sequencing of two strains of B. cinerea have led to valuable insights and have updated the catalogue of infection mechanism of this economically important pathogen. Availability of the vast information on pathogen profile can assist in effective neutralization of fungal virulence factors and development of realistic plant protection methods. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australasian Plant Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

Botrytis cinerea is a typical necrotrophic pathogen accountable for inflicting disease in a wide range of host plants. The fungus possesses a large number of enzymes and metabolites that are released at different stages of invasion. Furthermore it manipulates the plant hypersensitive response and promotes programmed cell death as a part of its virulence strategy. Molecular-genetic approaches along with genome sequencing of two strains of B. cinerea have led to valuable insights and have updated the catalogue of infection mechanism of this economically important pathogen. Availability of the vast information on pathogen profile can assist in effective neutralization of fungal virulence factors and development of realistic plant protection methods.
