Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea are closely related necrotrophic plant
pathogenic fungi notable for their wide host ranges and environmental persistence. These�…

Following earlier incomplete and fragmented versions of a genome sequence for the grey
mould Botrytis cinerea, a gapless, near‐finished genome sequence for B. cinerea strain�…

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a ubiquitous necrotrophic fungal pathogen capable of infecting a
wide range of plants. To identify genes involved in fungal development and pathogenesis�…

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenic fungus with over 400 hosts including
numerous economically important cultivated species. This contrasts many economically�…

Phytopathogenic fungi form intimate associations with host plant species and cause
disease. To be successful, fungal pathogens communicate with a susceptible host through�…

The Sclerotiniaceae (Ascomycotina, Leotiomycetes) is a relatively recently evolved lineage
of necrotrophic host generalists, and necrotrophic or biotrophic host specialists, some latent�…

We sequenced and compared the genomes of the Dothideomycete fungal plant pathogens
Cladosporium fulvum (Cfu)(syn. Passalora fulva) and Dothistroma septosporum (Dse) that�…

Background The white mold fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating necrotrophic
plant pathogen with a remarkably broad host range. The interaction of necrotrophs with their�…

Necrotrophic plant pathogens have received an increasing amount of attention over the past
decade. Initially considered to invade their hosts in a rather unsophisticated manner�…

We report here an update of the Botrytis cinerea strains B05. 10 and T4 genomes, as well as
an automated preliminary gene structure annotation. High-coverage de novo assemblies�…
