Molecular dissection of Alternaria brassicicola pathogenesis mechanisms
Alternaria brassicicola is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen that causes black spot disease on cruciferous plants including economically important Brassica species and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The purpose of this dissertation was to gain a better understanding of the pathogenesis …

Biotransformation of the Phytoalexins Brassinin, Brassilexin and Camalexin by Alternaria brassicicola
… and camalexin by the phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria brassicicola was carried out. The objectives of this study included: 1) the isolation and characterization of the metabolites of biotransformation of brassinin, brassilexin and camalexin by A. brassicicola; 2) determination of the …

Functional Analysis of Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis-Related Genes in Alternaria brassicicola
Alternaria brassicicola is a necrotrophic pathogen that causes black spot disease on virtually all cultivated Brassicas, A. brassicicola is renowned for its ability to prodigiously produce secondary metabolites. To test the hypothesis that secondary metabolites produced by A. brassicicola …

The Cell Wall Integrity-Associated Map Kinase Homolog, AbSlt2 in the Necrotrophic fungus Alternaria brassicicola is Required for Pathogenicity of Brassicas
… genome database of the phytopathogenic fungus, Alternaria brassicicola, we identified a gene with high homology to the cell wall integrity-associated mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, Slt2 in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This MAP kinase consists of a predicted 1,251-bp open reading …

Pectin: New insights from an old polymer through pectinase-based genetic screens
… and had altered response to the pathogen Alternaria brassicicola in comparison to Col-0. Using a recombinant inbred line population three major QTLs were identified to be responsible for the susceptibility of C24 to pectinases. In a reverse genetic approach members of the qua2 (putative …
