Macrophomina phaseolina expresses sequential waves of effector, secondary metabolite, and CAZyme genes during strawberry infection, suggesting a hemibiotrophic lifestyle
Macrophomina phaseolina causes crown and root rot disease in strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) and has become more damaging with increasing temperatures in strawberry-growing areas worldwide. Little is known about the molecular events during M. phaseolina infection in strawberry, such as transcriptional changes at elevate...
