This study identifies general and host-specific transcriptional strategies in Botrytis cinerea that enable broad host range through metabolic and host-responsive gene modules.

This study uses co-transcriptomics to analyze host-pathogen interactions between Botrytis cinerea and two legumes, finding that both host and pathogen exhibit transcriptional plasticity leading to similar disease outcomes despite genetic divergence.

The paper maps immune responses of ten eudicot species to 72 Botrytis cinerea isolates, revealing conserved physiological outcomes and lineage-specific regulatory programs.
