| Abstract: | Pectin acts as a second inducer of extracellular laccase formation by Botrytis cinerea, in the presence of a phenolic substance as a first inducer, but pectin alone fails to induce enzyme formation. The possible advantages of this mechanism for the fungus during the process of infection and overcoming host resistance are discussed. |
