<i>Botrytis cinerea</i> infection accelerates ripening and cell wall disassembly to promote disease in tomato fruit
2022-05-18
Abstract excerpt
Postharvest fungal pathogens benefit from the increased host susceptibility that occurs during fruit ripening. In unripe fruit, pathogens often remain quiescent and unable to cause disease until ripening begins, emerging at this point into destructive necrotrophic lifestyles that quickly result in fruit decay. Here, we demonstrate that one such pathogen, Botrytis cinerea , actively induces ripening processes to f...
