This study identifies a LysM effector in Botrytis cinerea that promotes mycelium adhesion and suppresses plant defenses during necrotrophic infection.

This study shows Botrytis cinerea accelerates tomato fruit ripening and cell wall disassembly to promote infection, dependent on pectin-degrading enzymes.

This paper introduces a red-light imaging method to visualize and quantify programmed cell death in plant-pathogen interactions, offering a non-invasive alternative to chemical staining.
