Botrytis cinerea is a significant necrotrophic plant pathogen causing devastating diseases
on more than 500 plant species, especially on fresh fruits and vegetables, resulting in the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been studied for their role in plant development as
well as in plant immunity. ROS were consistently observed to accumulate in the plant after …

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

Transcriptional reprogramming forms a major part of a plant's response to pathogen
infection. Many individual components and pathways operating during plant defense have …

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 …

While fungal biotrophs are dependent on successfully suppressing/subverting host defenses
during their interaction with live cells, necrotrophs, due to their lifestyle are often confronted …

Decay due to fungal infection is a major cause of postharvest losses in fruits. Acidic fungi
may enhance their virulence by locally reducing the pH of the host. Several devastating …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential regulatory molecule in plant immunity in synergy with
reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, little is known about the role of NO in disease …

Blueberry is an important perennial fruit crop with expanding consumption and production
worldwide. Consumer demand for blueberries has grown due to the desirable flavor and …

Significance: Postharvest pathogens can start its attack process immediately after spores
land on wounded tissue, whereas other pathogens can forcibly breach the unripe fruit cuticle …
