A multi-plant transcriptomic atlas reveals conserved and lineage specific defense architectures in response to Botrytis cinerea Generalist pathogens pose a challenge to plant immunity by infecting diverse hosts while harboring extensive intraspecific genetic variation. Whether evolutionary distant plant lineages rely on a shar...

Ever wondered if diverse plant species respond similarly when infected by the same exact pathogen? Infect different asterids and rosids with the same Botrytis genotypes and teh short answer, quite differently.

Cucurbit leaf with Botrytis cinerea lesions

Hi 👋 I’m Anna, a PhD candidate at UC Davis. I work on interactions between plants and Botrytis cinerea with @spicybotrytis.bsky.social. I am interested in what generalist pathogens can tell us about diverse host chemical defenses, and how one pathogen can take them all on 🥊

Woohoo! Congrats Adam!
