Abstract excerpt
Botrytis cinerea is a model plant-pathogenic fungus that causes grey mould and rot diseases in a wide range of agriculturally important crops. A previous study has identified two enzymes and corresponding genes (bcdh, bcer) that are involved in the biochemical transformation of uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose, the major fungal wall nucleotide sugar precursor, to UDP-rhamnose. We report here that deletion of...
