Abstract excerpt
In the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea, spore germination and plant infection are stimulated in the presence of nutrients, in particular sugars. Applied at micromolar concentrations, fructose is a more potent inducer of germination than glucose. To test whether preferred fructose uptake is responsible for this effect, and to study the mechanism of fructose transport in B. cinerea, a gene (frt1) encoding a...
