摘要

The Botrytis genus, a member of the Sclerotiniaceae family, comprises over 35 identified species, with Botrytis cinerea being extensively studied because of its role in gray mold disease across numerous plant species. Although many Botrytis species are host-specific, B. cinerea is an anomaly that affects over 1000 plant species and causes damage to various plant parts, leading to yield reduction. This chapter covers information aimed at reducing the impact of this economically important pathogen. It covers approaches involving cultural practices, chemical agents, and biological controls. High-throughput experiments play a role in disease diagnosis and in the discovery of genetic defense mechanisms. Biotechnological strategies, including enzymes, antimicrobial peptides, and manipulation of defense pathways, have the potential to manage B. cinerea. Advances in omics technologies, particularly those pertaining to B. cinerea, have deepened our understanding of plant stress response. These approaches are complemented by environment-friendly biotechnology and biological control methods.
