Loss of virulence of Botrytis cinerea mutants defective in phytotoxin production is restored by modifying inoculation medium

Si Qin, Xiaoqian Shi‐Kunne, Jie Chen…·Jan A. L. van Kan

The paper shows that Botrytis cinerea mutants lacking phytotoxins regain virulence when inoculated with yeast extract, highlighting the importance of phytotoxins and inoculation conditions in virulence.

Transposon activity eliminates a crucial fungal secondary metabolite cluster while preserving pathogenicity

Jelmer Dijkstra, Anouk C. van Westerhoven, Yinping Li…·Gert H. J. Kema

The paper shows that transposon activity in TR4 fungi deletes a secondary metabolite cluster, reducing fusaric acid production without affecting pathogenicity.

Segmental Duplications Drive the Evolution of Accessory Regions in a Major Crop Pathogen

Anouk C. van Westerhoven, Carolina Aguilera-Gálvez, Giuliana Nakasato‐Tagami…·Michael Seidl

This study shows that segmental duplications drive the evolution of accessory regions in Fusarium oxysporum, contributing to virulence evolution in banana pathogens.
