Retrotransposons as pathogenicity factors of the plant pathogenic fungus <i>Botrytis cinerea</i>
2021-04-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Retrotransposons are genetic elements inducing mutations in all domains of life. Despite their detrimental effect, retrotransposons become temporarily active during epigenetic reprogramming and cellular stress response, which may accelerate host genome evolution. In fungal pathogens, a positive role has been attributed to retrotransposons when shaping genome architecture and expression of gene...
