Lipids, fundamental constituents of cell membranes, cellular energy carriers, and signaling molecules, play a pivotal role in the interaction between pathogens and hosts. During microbial infections, lipids not only fuel the activation of the immune system but also, acting as signaling molec...
Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic pathogen that induces host cell death, causing substantial economic losses in agriculture. In this study, we show that functional depletion of INOSITOL AUXOTROPHY 80 (INO80), a nuclear factor involved in local chromatin remodeling, reduces the susceptibility of ...
Pathogenic bacteria proliferating inside mammalian host cells need to rapidly adapt to the intracellular environment. How they achieve this and scavenge essential nutrients from the host has been an open question due to the difficulties in distinguishing between bacterial and host metabolites
