Plant infection by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis requires actin-dependent generation of high invasive turgor pressure
T. Mueller, J. Bronkhorst, J. Mueller…·D. Scheuring
This study shows Botrytis uses actin-dependent invasive pressure and surface adherence to penetrate plant cells, reducing virulence when actin polymerization is blocked.
