The Endo-β-1,4-Xylanase Xyn11A Is Required for Virulence in Botrytis cinerea

Phytopathogenic fungi can degrade xylan, an abundant hemicellulose in plant cell walls, by the coordinate action of a group of extracellular enzymes. Among these, endo-β-1,4-xylanases carry out the initial breakdown by cleaving internal bonds in the polymer backbone. We have isolated and characteriz...
