Multi-knockout of 29 phytotoxic proteins and metabolites does not completely abolish virulence of the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea

Nassim Safari, Patrick Pattar, Marat Magomedov…·Matthias Hahn

Deleting 27 CDIP-candidate genes (26 confirmed CDIPs) and two phytotoxin biosynthesis genes in Botrytis cinerea nearly abolishes apple infection but leaves slow leaf lesions, pointing to redundant, unidentified host-killing factors.

Pathogen cell wall degrading enzymes facilitate extracellular vesicles to deliver RNA into plants

Lorenz Oberkofler, Constance Tisserant, Chantal Krueger…·Arne Weiberg

The paper shows that cell wall degrading enzymes enable extracellular vesicles to deliver RNA into plants by compromising the cell wall.

Plant infection by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis requires actin-dependent generation of high invasive turgor pressure

Tobias Müller, Jochem Bronkhorst, Jonas Müller…·David Scheuring

This study shows Botrytis uses actin-dependent invasive pressure and surface adherence to penetrate plant cells, reducing virulence when actin polymerization is blocked.
