Genome Comparisons between <i>Botrytis fabae</i> and the Closely Related Gray Mold Fungus <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> Reveal Possible Explanations for Their Contrasting Host Ranges

Genome Comparisons between <i>Botrytis fabae</i> and the Closely Related Gray Mold Fungus <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> Reveal Possible Explanations for Their Contrasting Host Ranges

While <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> causes gray mold on many plants, its close relative, <i>Botrytis fabae</i>, is host-specifically infecting predominantly faba bean plants. To explore the basis for its narrow host range, a gapless genome sequence of <i>B. fabae</i> st...
