Abstract excerpt
Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic fungus that infects more than 200 plant species, causing significant economic losses worldwide. Due to its diverse pathogenicity, extensive efforts have been made to unravel its pathogenic mechanisms. However, the function of the effectors underlying B. cinerea virulence remains largely unknown. In this study, we identified an effector BcSCR1 (B. cinerea small cysteine-rich...
