Botrytis cinerea, a widespread plant pathogen with a necrotrophic lifestyle, causes gray
mold disease in many crops. Massive secretion of enzymes and toxins was long considered …

Biomass constitutes an appealing alternative to fossil resources for the production of
materials and energy. The abundance and attractiveness of vegetal biomass come along …

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea are closely related necrotrophic plant
pathogenic fungi notable for their wide host ranges and environmental persistence. These …

SUMMARY Introduction: Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph: Botryotinia fuckeliana) is an airborne
plant pathogen with a necrotrophic lifestyle attacking over 200 crop hosts worldwide …

Phytophthora cinnamomi is one of the most devastating plant pathogens in the world. It
infects close to 5000 species of plants, including many of importance in agriculture, forestry …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in pathogen-plant interactions: recognition
of a pathogen by the plant rapidly triggers the oxidative burst, which is necessary for further …

Necrotrophic plant pathogens have received an increasing amount of attention over the past
decade. Initially considered to invade their hosts in a rather unsophisticated manner …

Among necrotrophic fungi, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is remarkable for its extremely broad host
range and for its aggressive host tissue colonization. With full genome sequencing …

Fungal interactions with plants can involve specific morphogenetic developments to access
host cells, the suppression of plant defenses, and the establishment of a feeding lifestyle that …

Botrytis cinerea is responsible for the gray mold disease on more than 200 host plants. This
necrotrophic ascomycete displays the capacity to kill host cells through the production of …
