How the Necrotrophic Fungus Alternaria brassicicola Kills Plant Cells Remains an Enigma

Alternaria species are mainly saprophytic fungi, but some are plant pathogens. Seven pathotypes of Alternaria alternata use secondary metabolites of host-specific toxins as pathogenicity factors. These toxins kill host cells prior to colonization. Genes associated with toxin synthesis reside on cond...
