Fungal phytotoxins as mediators of virulence.
(2009) Fungal phytotoxins as mediators of virulence. Curr Opin Plant Biol 12(4), 390-398. PubMed
Abstract
Many phytopathogenic fungi exert their destructive effects by producing and secreting toxic low molecular weight compounds. In the past years a large number of novel fungal virulence factors and their modes of action have been identified. This review highlights effective phytotoxin-mediated strategies to distress, weaken or kill the plant host.
