Cell death-inducing proteins (CDIPs) play important roles in the infection of Botrytis cinerea,
a broad host-range necrotrophic phytopathogen. Here, we show that the secreted protein …

Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic fungal plant pathogen that causes grey mould and rot
diseases in many crops. Here, we show that the B. cinerea BcCrh4 transglycosylase is …

A considerable number of fungal homologues of human apoptotic genes have been
identified in recent years. Nevertheless, we are far from being able to connect the different …

Botrytis cinerea is one of the most notorious pathogenic species that causes serious plant
diseases and substantial losses in agriculture throughout the world. We identified BcXyl1 …

In search of Botrytis cinerea cell death-inducing proteins, we found a xyloglucanase
(BcXYG1) that induced strong necrosis and a resistance response in dicot plants …

Botrytis cinerea is a broad‐host‐range necrotrophic phytopathogen responsible for serious
diseases in leading crops. To facilitate infection, B. cinerea secretes a large number of …

Necrotrophic fungi are unable to occupy living plant cells. How such pathogens survive first
contact with living host tissue and initiate infection is therefore unclear. Here, we show that …

Botrytis cinerea is one of the most destructive phytopathogenic fungi, causing significant
losses to horticultural crops. As a necrotrophic fungus, B. cinerea obtains nutrients by killing …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is integral to plant life and required for stress responses,
immunity, and development. Our understanding of the regulation of PCD is incomplete …

Botrytis cinerea is a major pathogen of more than 1400 plant species. During infection, the
kills host cells during infection and spreads through necrotic tissue, which is believed to be …
