Retrotransposons as pathogenicity factors of the plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea

Abstract Background Retrotransposons are genetic elements inducing mutations in all domains of life. Despite their detrimental effect, retrotransposons can become temporarily active during epigenetic reprogramming and cellular stress response, which may accelerate host genome evolution. In fungal pa...
