Swift and efficient onset of feeding on host tissue by phytopathogenic fungi is a requisite event for their successful infection and propagation. Necrotrophic fungi colonizing host cell walls appear to obtain carbon and energy sources from plant wall degradants, but what they actually utilize for nu...
