Disease cycle and infection strategies of systemic plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea
Botrytis cinerea is a ubiquitous filamentous fungal pathogen of a wide range of plant species. This fungus is able to infect all aerial parts of its host plants; where infection may cause enormous damage both during plant growth and in the post-harvest stage (during cold storage or transport).

| description | Botrytis cinerea is a ubiquitous filamentous fungal pathogen of a wide range of plant species. This fungus is
able to infect all aerial parts of its host plants; where infection may cause enormous damage both during plant
growth and in the post-harvest stage (during cold storage or transport). B. cinerea is a major cause of economic
losses in the production chain of cut flowers, bulb flowers and pot plants. Molecular-genetic studies performed over
the past decade have provided a wealth of novel insights into the infection mechanisms utilized by this pathogen.
Fungal genes important for successful infection by B. cinerea were identified. Such knowledge provided
perspectives for designing novel, and rational plant protection strategies that could effectively counteract important
pathogen virulence factors. In this study; the infection process will be divided into different stages; moreover, the
role of various fungal enzymes and metabolites in the different stages will be discussed. The aim of the current
study was to address perspectives for novel control strategies that may reduce and/or delay the damage incited by B.
cinerea infection. |
