O_LIApoplectic breakdown from Grapevines Trunk Diseases (GTDs) has become a serious challenge to viticulture in consequence to drought stress. We hypothesise that fungal aggressiveness is controlled by a chemical communication between host and colonising fungus. C_LIO_LIWe introduce the new concept of a "plant surrender signal" accumulating in host plants under stress and triggering aggressive behaviour of the strain Neofusicoccum parvum (Bt-67) causing Botryosphaeriaceae-related dieback in grapevines. C_LIO_LIUsing a cell-based experimental system (Vitis cells) and bioactivity-guided fractionation, we identify trans-ferulic acid, a monolignol precursor, as "surrender signal". We show that this signal specifically activates secretion of the fungal phytotoxin Fusicoccin A. We show further that this phytotoxin, mediated by 14-3-3 proteins, activates programmed cell death in Vitis cells. C_LIO_LIWe arrive at a model pinpointing the chemical communication driving apoplexy in Botryosphaeriaceae-Vitis interaction and define the channelling of phenylpropanoid pathway from the lignin precursor, trans-ferulic acid to the phytoalexin transresveratrol as target for future therapy.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
