Phytopathogenic fungi need to secrete different hydrolytic enzymes to break down complex
polysaccharides in the plant cell wall in order to enter the host and develop the disease …

Botrytis cinerea is one of the most destructive fungal pathogens affecting numerous plant
hosts, including many important crop species. As a molecularly under-studied organism, its …

The necrotrophic plant‐pathogen fungus Botrytis cinerea produces multicellular appressoria
dedicated to plant penetration, named infection cushions (IC). A microarray analysis was …

We experimentally isolated and characterized a CFEM protein with putative GPI-anchored
site BcCFEM1 in Botrytis cinerea. BcCFEM1 contains a CFEM (common in several fungal …

Valsa mali, a parasitic fungus, is a destructive pathogen of apple tree that causes heavy
economic losses in China. The pathogen secretes various cell wall-degrading enzymes …

Botrytis cinerea is a devastating postharvest pathogenic fungus causing severe postharvest
decay in a wide range of fruit and vegetables. Controlling postharvest pathogens is essential …

The apple tree canker is caused by Valsa mali, which produces major pathogenic factors
involving multiple cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) and toxins. The β-glucosidases …

Grape white rot is a destructive fungal disease occurring worldwide. Recently, Coniella vitis
was identified as the predominant pathogen causing this disease in China. As the periderms …

Ustilaginoidea virens, the causal agent of rice false smut disease, is an important plant
pathogen that causes severe quantitative and qualitative losses in rice worldwide. UvSUN1 …

LysM effectors are suppressors of chitin‐triggered plant immunity in biotrophic and
hemibiotrophic fungi. In necrotrophic fungi, LysM effectors might induce a mechanism to …
