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 …

Membranes are the most vital structure for all organisms which not only control molecular
trafficking but also perceive environmental cues and transduce it in response. Membrane …

SUMMARY Introduction: Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph: Botryotinia fuckeliana) is an airborne
plant pathogen with a necrotrophic lifestyle attacking over 200 crop hosts worldwide …

Glutathione is a simple sulfur compound composed of three amino acids and the major non-
protein thiol in many organisms, including plants. The functions of glutathione are manifold …

The provenance, half‐life and biological activity of malondialdehyde (MDA) were
investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana. We provide genetic confirmation of the hypothesis that …

Lipid peroxidation may be initiated either by lipoxygenases or by reactive oxygen species
(ROS). Enzymatic oxidation of α‐linolenate can result in the biosynthesis of cyclic oxylipins …

Jasmonates are derived from oxygenated fatty acids via the octadecanoid pathway and
characterized by a pentacyclic ring structure. They have regulatory function as signaling …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a significant role in plant growth, development, and
interaction with biotic and abiotic environments (Alvarez et al., 1998; Blokhina et al., 2003) …

The oxidative burst, a transient and rapid accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is
a widespread defence mechanism of higher plants against pathogen attack. There is …

The gene bcsak1, encoding a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) of Botrytis cinerea,
was cloned and characterized. The protein has high homology to the yeast Hog1 and to …
