The Bdtf1 Gene in Alternaria brassicicola Is Important in Detoxifying Brassinin and Maintaining Virulence on Brassica Species

Brassinin is an antifungal compound induced in Brassica plants after microbial infection. Molecular evidence is incomplete, however, in supporting the importance of brassinin in plant resistance to pathogens. To test the importance of brassinin in plant defense, we studied the functions of the gene...
