Abstract According to their lifestyle, plant pathogens are divided into biotrophic and necrotrophic organisms. Biotrophic exclusively nourish living host cells, whereas rapidly kill cells cell walls contents. To this end, the fungus Botrytis cinerea secretes large amounts of phytotoxic proteins wall-degrading enzymes. However, precise role these during infection is unknown. Here, we report on identification characterization previously unknown toxic protein hypersensitive response-inducing 1...
Abstract According to their lifestyle, plant pathogens are divided into biotrophic and necrotrophic organisms. While establish a relationship with living host cells, rapidly kill cells feed on the cell debris. To this end, ascomycete fungus Botrytis cinerea secretes large amounts of phytotoxic proteins wall degrading enzymes. However, precise role these during infection process is unknown. Here we report identification characterization previously unknown toxic protein hypersensitive response...
