Loss of a major toxin gene cluster defines a metabolic schism and host-specific virulence in <i>Botrytis pseudocinerea</i>

2025-12-04

Abstract excerpt

Botrytis pseudocinerea is a cryptic fungal species, morphologically indistinguishable from the notorious plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea , yet their distinct ecological behaviours suggest fundamental biological differences. This study resolves the paradox of why B. pseudocinerea , despite intrinsic resistance to the fungicide fenhexamid, often fails to dominate agricultural ecosystems. Remarkably, we demonstrate...
