Functional genome analysis reveals that serine carboxypeptidase Bd-SCP10 mediates vegetative growth, pathogenicity, and stress tolerance in Botryosphaeria dothidea
This study provides the first functional evidence that secreted peptidases in <i>B. dothidea</i> are a key factor in vegetative growth, pathogenicity, and stress tolerance. The identification and functional characterization of <i>Bd-SCP10</i> led us to believe that it is a promising molecular target for eco-friendly strategies to manage diseases caused by <i>B. dothidea</i> and related pathogens.
