Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Botrytis cinerea underwent extensive apoptotic-like cell death after germination on the host plant.
- Intervention effect Manipulating BcBIR1 modified the fungal response to cell death inducing conditions.
- Association Strains with reduced sensitivity to cell death were hypervirulent.
- Intervention effect Strains with overstimulated cell death had reduced pathogenicity.
- Observation Fungal cell death was reduced after infection of susceptible Arabidopsis mutants.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that fungal antiapoptotic machinery enables infection establishment.
- Recommendation The authors proposed fungal cell death machinery as a fungicide target.
