Antifungal mechanism of isothiocyanates against Cochliobolus heterostrophus.

This study indicated that non-Brassicaceae-adapted pathogens are more sensitive to ITCs, and ITCs could have applications in protecting non-Brassicaceae crops in future. In addition, loss of ChNOX1 and ChTRX2 increased the sensitivity of C. heterostrophus to ITCs. Our results provided potential utilization of ITCs to control diseases caused by non-Brassicaceae pathogenic fungi. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
