Abstract:Botrytis squamosa, Botrytis aclada and Sclerotium cepivorum are three fungal species of the family Sclerotiniaceae that are pathogenic on onion. Despite their close relatedness, these fungi cause very distinct diseases, respectively called leaf blight, neck rot and white rot, which pose serious threats to onion cultivation. The infection biology of particularly neck rot and white rot is poorly understood. In this study, we used GFP-expressing transformants of all three fungi to visualize the early phases of in… Show more
