Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Response to Long Exposure to Glucosinolate Hydrolysis Products by Transcriptomic Approach.

ABSTRACT: White mold disease, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, affects Brassica crops. Brassica crops produce a broad array of compounds, such as glucosinolates, which contribute to the defense against pathogens. From their hydrolysis, several products arise that have antimicrobial activity (GHPs) whose toxicity is structure dependent. S. sclerotiorum may overcome the toxic effect of moderate GHP concentrations after prolonged exposure to their action. Our objective was to identify the molecular mechanism underlying S. sclerotiorum response to long exposure to two chemically diverse GHPs: aliphatic GHP allyl-isothiocyanate (AITC) and indole GHP indol-3-carbinol (I3C). We found that the transcriptomic response is dependent on the type of GHP and
