Botcinic acid is a phytotoxic polyketide involved in the virulence of the gray mold fungus
Botrytis cinerea. Here, we aimed to investigate the specific regulation of the cluster of Bcboa …

Botrytis cinerea, the grey mould fungus, secretes non-host-specific phytotoxins that kill the
cells of many plant species. Phytotoxic assays performed about ten years ago, have …

Botrydial (BOT) is a non-host specific phytotoxin produced by the polyphagous
phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The genomic region of the BOT biosynthetic gene …

The grey mould fungus Botrytis cinerea produces two major phytotoxins, the sesquiterpene
botrydial, for which the biosynthesis gene cluster has been characterized previously, and the …

The fungus Botrytis cinerea is the causal agent of the economically important gray mold
disease that affects more than 200 ornamental and agriculturally important plant species. B …

Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that affects a total of 586 genera
representing approximately 1400 plant species. This pathogen produces two families of …

The micrographic phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea causes gray mold diseases in a large
number of dicotyledonous crop plants and ornamentals. Colonization of host tissue is …

Isotopic labelling experiments and the study of mutants with disrupted genes encoding
botcinic acid have revealed a common link in the biosynthesis of the polyketide toxins …

Filamentous fungi produce a wide variety of bioactive secondary metabolites that play roles
in development and fitness. In the pre-genomic era of Botrytis cinerea research, already …

At least five of the six genes of the bikaverin secondary metabolic gene cluster were shown
to have undergone horizontal transfer (HGT) from a Fusarium donor to the Botrytis lineage …
