An elicitor from Botrytis cinerea induces the hypersensitive response in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plants and promotes the gray mold disease. Phytopathology 96 (2006) 299-307. Necrosis by an elicitor is suppressed by molecules that inhibit the oxidative burst and in Arabidopsis mutants that are compromised in the HR.

Mutational analysis of a biosynthetic gene for botrydial shows that this toxin is a virulence factor for only some strains of B. cinerea.
