Botrytis cinerea uses effective detoxification mechanisms to overcome the plant RBOHD-dependent extracellular oxidative burst.
The necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea rapidly kills host tissue with its secreted proteins and metabolites. Necrotrophs can trigger the hypersensitive response, which is accompanied by reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, but it remains unclear whether this ROS burst promotes or restricts B. cinerea infection....
