Journal ArticleDOI
The ABC transporter BcatrB from Botrytis cinerea exports camalexin and is a virulence factor on Arabidopsis thaliana
Francesca L. Stefanato,Eliane Abou-Mansour,Antony Buchala,Matthias Kretschmer,Andreas Mosbach,Matthias Hahn,Christian G. Bochet,Jean-Pierre Métraux,Henk-jan Schoonbeek +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an ABC transporter is a virulence factor that increases tolerance of the pathogen towards a phytoalexin, and the complete restoration of virulence on host plants lacking this phy toalex in A. thaliana.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resveratrol acts as a natural profungicide and induces self-intoxication by a specific laccase
TL;DR: Contrary to the current theory, BcLCC2 does not detoxify resveratrol but, rather, converts it into compounds that are more toxic for the fungus itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabidopsis EF-Tu receptor enhances bacterial disease resistance in transgenic wheat.
Henk-jan Schoonbeek,Hsi-Hua Wang,Francesca L. Stefanato,Francesca L. Stefanato,Melanie Craze,Sarah Bowden,Emma J. Wallington,Cyril Zipfel,Christopher J. Ridout +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that transgenic expression of AtEFR in wheat confers recognition of elf18, as measured by the induction of immune marker genes and callose deposition, and can be transferred successfully from dicot to monocot species, further revealing that immune signalling pathways are conserved across these distant phyla.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of the CYP51 gene in Mycosphaerella graminicola: evidence for intragenic recombination and selective replacement.
TL;DR: It is concluded that recurring cycles of recombination coupled with selection due to the widespread use of azole fungicides will increase the frequency of novel mutants or recombinants with higher resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection for increased cyproconazole tolerance in Mycosphaerella graminicola through local adaptation and in response to host resistance.
TL;DR: The Swiss population displayed the highest level of tolerance to cyproconazole, in addition to a lower than expected quantitative variation in fungicide tolerance and a skewed distribution, indicating that selection had increased the overall tolerance of this population.
