Loss of virulence of <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> mutants defective in phytotoxin production is restored by modifying inoculation medium
2024-10-21
Abstract excerpt
Botrydial, botcinic acid and their derivatives are major phytotoxic metabolites produced by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea . These phytotoxins are able to induce programmed cell death in the host and thereby promote plant susceptibility to B. cinerea. We observed that a Δbot2Δboa6 double mutant strain, which synthesizes neither botrydial nor botcinic acid, was almost avirulent on tomato leave...
