Cheating (re)shapes pathogen virulence and antifungal resistance

Suraj Hassan Muralidhar, Frank P. J. Pieterse, Marnix A. J. van de Sande…·Jan A.L. van Kan

The paper investigates whether cheater nuclei in filamentous fungi can increase in frequency by exploiting public goods, and how this affects virulence and antifungal resistance.

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.

When flowers turn red: Pathogen induced flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis in Chrysanthemum seticuspe confers resistanceto Botrytis cinerea

Suraj Hassan Muralidhar, Lisa-Marie Roijen, Frank P. J. Pieterse…·Jan A.L. van Kan

This study identifies pathogen-induced flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis in Chrysanthemum seticuspe petals as a defense mechanism against Botrytis cinerea, showing their direct antifungal activity.
