Botrytis cinerea has a high risk of developing resistance to fungicides. Fludioxonil, belonging to phenylpyrroles, has been used for more than three decades, however, only few cases of field resistance against phenylpyrroles have been reported. In this study, the highly fludioxonil-resistant (HR) isolates of Botrytis cinerea were firstly detected in the commercial greenhouses of strawberry in China in 2015, and biochemical characterization differences in high fludioxonil-resistance from strawberry and cucumber were compared.

Autophagy is a conserved degradation process that maintains intracellular homeostasis to ensure normal cell differentiation and development in eukaryotes. is one of the key molecular components of the autophagy pathway. In this study, we identified and characterized , a homologue of (yeast) in the necrotrophic plant pathogen Yeast complementation experiments demonstrated that can functionally complement the defects of the yeast null mutant.

In eukaryotes, the ubiquitin-like (UBL) protein-activating enzymes play a crucial role in autophagy process, however, it is poorly characterized in filamentous fungi. Here, we investigated the functions of two UBL activating enzymes, BcAtg3 (E2) and BcAtg7 (E1) in the plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The physical interaction of BcAtg3 with BcAtg7 was demonstrated by yeast two-hybrid system.
