The relevance of tomatinase activity in pathogens of tomato: disruption of the beta2-tomatinase gene in Colletotrichum coccodes and Septoria lycopersici and heterologous expression of the Septoria lycopersici beta2-tomatinase in Nectria haematococca, a pathogen of tomato fruit

Abstract excerpt

Many fungal pathogens of tomato have the ability to enzymatically detoxify the toxic steroidal glycoalkaloid alpha-tomatine, synthesized by Lycopersicon and some Solanum species. However, it is unclear whether detoxification of this phytoanticipin is involved in the ability of these fungi to parasitize tomato. We have taken two approaches to address this question. For one approach, we have reduced or eliminated th...
