[email protected] Received: ; Revised: ; Accepted: July 31, 2014 December 12, 2014 January 2, 2015 Background: Botrytis cinerea Euascomycete , a haploid fungus that infects numerous crops, has been used as a model system for studying Botrytis cinerea molecular phytopathology. adopts various modes of infection, which are mediated by a number of pathogenicity and virulence-related genes. Many of these genes have not been reported previously. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate development and pathogenicity-related genes between a novel nonpathogenic mutant and B. cinerea the Wild Type (WT) in . Materials and Methods: Digital Gene Expression (DGE) tag profiling can reveal novel genes that may be involved in development and B. cinerea pathogenicity of plant pathogen. A large volume of tag-seq was generated to identify differential expressed genes by the Illumina DGE tag profiling technology.
