And if #grapevine “fed” #Botrytis a bit too well? 🍇🍄
Our lab shows that overexpressing the #SugarTransporter VvHT5 turns the plant into an even better host for the fungus.
Kudos to the whole team and our collaborators at Mercier for this new bioRxiv preprint! 👇

Expansion of maltose/sucrose related transporters in Ascomycetes and their association with corresponding disaccharide utilization Phylogenetic analysis reveals diversity in fungal sugar transporters (STs). Ascomycota shows notable expansion of maltose/sucrose STs. STs and hydrolases related to maltose/sucrose appear to have co-e...
