Journal ArticleDOI

Selman Uluisik,Natalie H. Chapman,Rebecca Smith,Mervin Poole,Gary G. Adams,Richard B. Gillis,Tabot M. D. Besong,Judith Sheldon,Suzy M. Stiegelmeyer,Laura Perez,Nurul Hidayah Samsulrizal,Duoduo Wang,Ian D. Fisk,Ni Yang,Charles Baxter,Daniel Rickett,Rupert G. Fray,Barbara Blanco-Ulate,Ann L. T. Powell,Stephen E. Harding,Jim Craigon,Jocelyn K. C. Rose,Eric A. Fich,Li Sun,David S. Domozych,Paul D. Fraser,Gregory A. Tucker,Donald Grierson,Graham B. Seymour +28 more
TL;DR: Substantial, targeted control of tomato softening is reported, without affecting other aspects of ripening, by silencing a gene encoding a pectate lyase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grey mould of strawberry, a devastating disease caused by the ubiquitous necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea
TL;DR: The biology and epidemiology of the pathogen, mechanisms of infection and the genetics of host plant resistance, and approaches for increasing resistance to B. cinerea in strawberry are identified and proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ripening-Regulated Susceptibility of Tomato Fruit to Botrytis cinerea Requires NOR But Not RIN or Ethylene
Dario Cantu,Barbara Blanco-Ulate,Liya Yang,John M. Labavitch,Alan B. Bennett,Ann L. T. Powell +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the susceptibility of ripe fruit is dependent on NOR but not on RIN and only partially on ethylene perception, leading to the conclusion that not all of the pathways and events that constitute ripening render fruit susceptible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinctive expansion of gene families associated with plant cell wall degradation, secondary metabolism, and nutrient uptake in the genomes of grapevine trunk pathogens
Abraham Morales-Cruz,Katherine C. H. Amrine,Barbara Blanco-Ulate,Daniel P. Lawrence,Renaud Travadon,Philippe E. Rolshausen,Kendra Baumgartner,Dario Cantu +7 more
TL;DR: This study describes the repertoires of putative virulence functions in the genomes of ubiquitous grapevine trunk pathogens and identifies gene families potentially associated with host colonization and disease development with significantly faster rates of gene gain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato transcriptome and mutant analyses suggest a role for plant stress hormones in the interaction between fruit and Botrytis cinerea
TL;DR: A transcriptome study of tomato fruit infected with Botrytis cinerea was analyzed in order to profile the expression of genes for the biosynthesis, modification and signal transduction of ethylene, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and abscisic Acid, hormones that may be not only involved in ripening, but also in fruit interactions with pathogens.
