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

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that infects upwards of 400 plant
species, including several economically important crops. The molecular processes that�…

Among necrotrophic fungi, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is remarkable for its extremely broad host
range and for its aggressive host tissue colonization. With full genome sequencing�…

Plants and fungi have had many years of friendly and not-so friendly competition for
resources and quality of life. As a result, diverse pathosystems evolved numerous strategies�…

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�…

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

Key message We provide results rooted in quantitative genetics, which combined with
knowledge of candidate gene function, helps us to better understand the resistance to two�…

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�…

Accumulating evidence supports the idea that necrotrophic plant pathogens interact with
their hosts by controlling cell death. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic ascomycete�…

White mold commonly known as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causes stem rot disease and has
emerged as one of the major fungal pathogens of oilseed Brassica across the world. In the�…
