The availability of annotated Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum genome sequences has brought these two phytopathogenic fungi into the post-genomic era. In order to gather our scientific communities around new experimental approaches and strategies for capitalizing on these genomic resources, we are organizing a «Botrytis-Sclerotinia Post-Genome Workshop (BSPGW) » in Lyon (France) next September. This workshop will provide the opportunity to establish new contacts and participate in scientific exchanges on all aspects of Botrytis and Sclerotinia biology. This will include "-omic" technologies, post-genomic functional analyses, comparative genomics and molecular tool advances. Host-pathogen interactions will be given particular attention and molecular studies on the host side are encouraged as well. We invite you to participate in this workshop by submitting abstracts for oral or poster sessions. Please stay informed of organizational details through the workshop internet site and join us from the 15th to the 17th of September 2011 in Lyon !

The “Genomic Analysis of the Necrotrophic Fungal Pathogens Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea” paper has been recently published in PLoS Genetics
