The Venturia Apple Pathosystem: Pathogenicity Mechanisms and Plant Defense Responses
Venturia inaequalis is the causal agent of apple scab, a devastating disease of apple. We outline several unique features of this pathogen which are useful for molecular genetics studies intended to understand plant-pathogen interactions. The pathogenicity mechanisms of the pathogen and overview of...
