Infection Strategies of Botrytis cinerea and Related Necrotrophic Pathogens

  • Chapter
Fungal Pathology

Abstract

Botrytis cinerea Persoon: Fries (known as “grey mould fungus”) causes serious preand post-harvest diseases in at least 235 plant species (Jarvis, 1977), including a range of agronomically important crops, such as grapevine, tomato, strawberry, cucumber, bulb flowers and ornamental plants. Graminaceous monocots are generally considered as poor hosts for grey mould. Disease control frequently relies on chemicals, although efforts to develop biological control strategies are increasingly successful (e.g. Köhl et al., 1995; Elad, 1996) and biocontrol agents are marketed. The name of the asexual stage or anamorph, Botrytis cinerea, is preferred to the name of the teleomorph, Botryotinia fuckeliana (de Bary) Whetzel (XIth International Botrytis Symposium, 1996, Wageningen, The Netherlands). The teleomorph has rarely been detected in the field during the last century, but molecular population studies recently provided clear evidence that sexual reproduction occurs more frequently than previously anticipated (Giraud et al., 1997). The pathogen is a typical necrotroph, inducing host cell death resulting in serious damage to plant tissues, culminating in rot of the plant or the harvested product. There are extensive descriptions of microscopic and biochemical studies on infection mechanisms (reviewed by Staples and Mayer, 1995). Comprehensive insight in the infection process, however, is hampered by the fact that various groups used different fungal strains and different host species for their studies.
