Receptor-Like Kinases BAK1 and SOBIR1 Are Required for Necrotizing Activity of a Novel Group of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Necrosis-Inducing Effectors

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a characteristic necrotrophic plant pathogen and is dependent on the induction of host cell death for nutrient acquisition. To identify necrosis-inducing effectors, the genome of S. sclerotiorum was scanned for genes encoding small, secreted, cysteine-rich proteins. These...
