One benefit/complication of co-transcriptomics is it takes a whole paper to describe one facet of the data. This complements a previous paper studying the Botrytis transcriptome across the same plant species.

Combined generalist and host-specific transcriptional strategies enable host generalism in the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea
How generalist pathogens infect phylogenetically diverse hosts remains a central question in plant-pathogen biology. In particular, the extent to which broad host range is enabled by genetic variation...

We intentionally included 72 different Botrytis genotypes to ask how these patterns were or were not stable. Interestingly, each plant species differentiated between the isolates but in their own unique ways. Suggests that translating mechanisms across plants will need to focus on concepts (2/3)
