The Xylanase Inhibitor TAXI-I Increases Plant Resistance to <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> by Inhibiting the BcXyn11a Xylanase Necrotizing Activity

During host plant infection, pathogens produce a wide array of cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) to break the plant cell wall. Among CWDEs, xylanases are key enzymes in the degradation of xylan, the main component of hemicellulose. Targeted deletion experiments support the direct involvement of th...
