Ring rot disease, caused by the Botryosphaeria berengeriana f. sp. piricola pathogen, is a
destructive disease for apple production. To gain further understanding about the defense …

Ring rot, one of the most destructive diseases of apple worldwide, is caused primarily by
Botryosphaeria dothidea and 8. kuwatsukai. Here, we sequenced the genomes of 8 …

Fungal plant pathogens secrete proteins that manipulate the host in order to facilitate
colonization. Necrotrophs have evolved specialized proteins that actively induce plant cell …

Pear ring rot disease, mainly caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea, is widespread in most
pear and apple-growing regions. Mycoviruses are used for biocontrol, especially in fruit tree …

Botryosphaeria dothidea is a latent and important fungal pathogen on a wide range of
woody plants. Fruit ring rot caused by B. dothidea is a major disease in China on apple. This …

Here, we reported a novel secreted protein elicitor PeBL2 from Brevibacillus laterosporus
A60, which can induce hypersensitive response in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana). The …

Pathogenic fungi secrete numerous effectors into host cells to manipulate plants' defense
mechanisms. Valsa mali, a necrotrophic fungus, severely impacts apple production in China …

The sugar beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii) is one of the most destructive
pathogens in sugar beet production, which causes serious economic losses every year. Few …

Forests are under threat from pests, pathogens, and changing climate. A major forest
pathogen worldwide is the hemibiotroph Dothistroma septosporum, which causes …

Background Botryosphaeria dothidea causes apple white rot and infects many tree plants.
