Integrative path modeling and QTL mapping identify maturity, stem strength, and cell wall composition driving lettuce resistance to Sclerotinia minor [PDF]
Scientific ReportsLettuce (Lactuca sativa) is highly vulnerable to Sclerotinia minor, the pathogen causing lettuce drop. Breeding for resistance is the most effective control strategy; however, full resistance has not been achieved, and current partial resistance sources ...

Stress responsive glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein SsGSP1 contributes to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum virulence [PDF]
VirulenceFungal cell wall acts as a defense barrier, shielding the cell from varying environmental stresses. Cell wall proteins, such as glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, are involved in swift and appropriate responses to minor environmental ...
