Photosystem II Repair Cycle in Faba Bean May Play a Role in Its Resistance to <i>Botrytis fabae</i> Infection

Chocolate spot, which is caused by the necrotrophic fungus <i>Botrytis fabae</i>, is a major foliar disease occurring worldwide and dramatically reducing crop yields in faba bean (<i>Vicia faba</i>). Although chemical control of this disease is an option, it has serious econo...
