Sclerotinia sclerotiorum : phytotoxins and metabolism of phytoalexins
… Arabidopsis thaliana, Capsella bursapastoris and Camelina sativa, were investigated. It was established that S. sclerotiorum could efficiently metabolize these phytoalexins using a remarkable glucosylation reaction of their indole ring. Overall, results of these biotransformation studies followed …
