Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence supports the idea that necrotrophic plant pathogens interact with their hosts by controlling cell death. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic ascomycete fungus with a broad host range (>400 species). Previously, we established that oxalic acid (OA) is an important pathogenicity determinant of this fungus. In this report, we describe a mechanism by which oxalate contributes to the...
