Specificity and fungicide modulation of polysaccharide remodeling in tomato fruit against Botrytis cinerea infection
Key Points
Tomato fruit show enhanced polysaccharide remodeling in response to fungicide treatments against Botrytis cinerea infection, improving fruit resilience.
Fungicide application significantly increases the structural integrity of plant tissues, measured through polysaccharide alterations, indicative of enhanced resistance.
Analysis of tomato fruit influenced by various fungicides shows varying degrees of remodeling effectiveness against fungal infections.
Findings support the potential agricultural strategies for using fungicides to improve disease resistance in crops, although field trials are necessary for broader validation.
