The <i>BMP1</i> Gene Is Essential for Pathogenicity in the Gray Mold Fungus <i>Botrytis cinerea</i>
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
In Magnaporthe grisea, a well-conserved mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase gene, PMK1, is essential for fungal pathogenesis. In this study, we tested whether the same MAP kinase is essential for plant infection in the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea, a necrotrophic pathogen that employs infection mechanisms different from those of M. grisea. We used a polymerase chain reaction-based approach to isolate MAP...
