Transcriptional response to host chemical cues underpins expansion of host range in a fungal plant pathogen lineage
2020-10-29
Abstract excerpt
The host range of parasites is an important factor in assessing the dynamics of disease epidemics. The evolution of pathogens to accommodate new hosts may lead to host range expansion, a process the molecular bases of which are largely enigmatic. The fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum parasitizes more than 400 plant species from diverse eudicot families while its close relative, S. trifoliorum , is restricted to pl...
