Botrytis cinerea detoxifies the sesquiterpenoid phytoalexin rishitin through multiple metabolizing pathways

This study shows Botrytis cinerea detoxifies rishitin through multiple oxidative pathways, enabling tolerance and reducing toxicity to other pathogens.

Functional characterization of Botrytis cinerea ABC transporter gene BcatrB in response to phytoalexins produced in plants belonging to families Solanaceae, Brassicaceae and Fabaceae

This study identifies BcatrB as a key transporter gene in Botrytis cinerea that mediates resistance to phytoalexins from Solanaceae, Brassicaceae, and Fabaceae plants.

Botrytis cinerea identifies host plants via the recognition of antifungal capsidiol to induce expression of a specific detoxification gene

This study shows Botrytis cinerea distinguishes capsidiol from rishitin to activate specific detoxification genes, with Bccpdh being critical for virulence on capsidiol-producing plants.
