04 Feb 2005 Expressed sequence tags from the phytopathogenetic fungus Botrytis cinereaViaud M, Legeai F, Pradier JM, Brygoo Y, Bitton F, Weissenbach J, Brunet-Simon A, Duclert A, Fillinger S. Fortini D, Gioti A. Giraud C. Halary S, Lebrun I, Le Pecheur P, Samson D, Levis C
A large set of genes was identified in the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea by using an expressed sequence tag approach. The fungus was grown in axenic culture and a cDNA library was produced. From this library, 6559 ESTs were obtained. The combined sequences represent 3026 unisequences that corresponds to approximately one-quarter of the estimated total number of genes in B. cinerea. Approximately 18% of the ESTs showed significant similarities with genes coding for proteins with known functions,~56% were similar to genes coding for proteins with unknown functions and ~26% were orphans. A substantial B. cinerea gene inventory including putative virulence factors was therefore obtained and is now available at the GĂ©noplante-Info Database interface
