Plant nitrogen supply affects the Botrytis cinerea infection process and modulates known and novel virulence factors.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Plant nitrogen (N) fertilization is known to affect disease; however, the underlying mechanisms remain mostly unknown. We investigated the impact of N supply on the Arabidopsis thaliana-Botrytis cinerea interaction. A. thaliana plants grown in low nitrate were more tolerant to all wild-type B. cinerea strains tested. We determined leaf nitrate concentrations and showed that they had a limited impact on B. cinerea growth in vitro. For the first time, we performed a dual RNA-Seq of infected leaves of plants grown with different nitrate concentrations. Transcriptome analysis showed that plant and fungal transcriptomes were marginally affected by plant nitrate supply. Indeed, only a limited set of plant (182) and fungal (22) genes displayed expression profiles altered by nitrate supply. The expression of selected genes was confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR at 6 hr postinfection (hpi) and analysed at a later time point (24 hpi). We selected three of the 22 B. cinerea genes identified for further analysis. B. cinerea mutants affected in these genes were less aggressive than the wild-type strain. We also showed that plants grown in ammonium were more tolerant to B. cinerea. Furthermore, expression of the selected B. cinerea genes in planta was altered when plants were grown with ammonium instead of nitrate, demonstrating an impact of the nature of N supplied to plants on the interaction. Identification of B. cinerea genes expressed differentially in planta according to plant N supply unveils two novel virulence functions required for full virulence in A. thaliana: a secondary metabolite (SM) and an acidic protease (AP).
