The paper identifies Gas5A, a glucanosyltransferase from Botrytis, as a cell death inducing protein in plants, showing it can trigger cell death both as a PAMP and intracellularly.

This paper shows that salicylic acid restricts cell elongation and alters vacuolar morphology and pH, independent of NPR receptors and auxin signaling.

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