In this study, we report the cloning of the SsCut gene encoding cutinase from Sclerotinia
sclerotiorum. We isolated a 609-bp cDNA encoding a polypeptide of 202 amino acids with a …

The plant cuticle is one of the protective layers of the external surface of plant tissues. Plants
use the cuticle layer to reduce water loss and resist pathogen infection. Fungi release cell …

Cucumber powdery mildew caused by Sphaerotheca fuliginea is a leaf disease that
seriously affects cucumber's yield and quality. This study aimed to report two nucleotide …

The cuticle plays an important role in plant interactions with pathogens and with their
surroundings. The cuticle acts as both a physical barrier against physical stresses and …

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating necrotrophic fungal pathogen and has a substantial
economic impact on crop production worldwide. Magnaporthe appressoria-specific (MAS) …

Cutinases have been implicated as important enzymes during the process of fungal infection
of aerial plant organs. The function of cutinases in the disease cycle of fungal pathogens that …

Genotypic differences in susceptibility of Arabidopsis thaliana to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
have not been reported due to the extreme susceptibility of this cruciferous plant. To …

Sulfur (S) is an essential plant macronutrient and the pivotal role of sulfur compounds in
plant disease resistance has become obvious in recent decades. This review attempts to …

PevD1, a novel protein elicitor from the pathogenic cotton verticillium wilt fungus, Verticillium
dahliae, induced a hypersensitive response in tobacco plants. In this paper, the elicitor was …

The filamentous fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an important plant pathogen with a
worldwide distribution. It can infect a wide variety of plants, causing serious disease in many …
