Abstract
Botrytis cinerea is a destructive pathogen. A recent study by Escaray et al. revealed the unexpected role of triterpenoid saponins as a susceptibility factor in Euphorbia lathyris, which promotes B. cinerea infection. This provides the possibility of developing a broad-spectrum plant protection solution by targeting the inhibition of the saponin biosynthetic pathway.
