Mechanisms of Induced Resistance Against B. cinerea

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Postharvest Pathology

Part of the book series: Plant Pathology in the 21st Century ((ICPP,volume 2))

Abstract

Botrytis cinerea is a widespread pre-and postharvest pathogen of diverse crops. Current crop protection methods rely on fungicide application and on horticultural practices. Variation for genetic resistance is documented in many crop plant species but has not been utilized. Studies in model and crop plant species are revealing the biological processes that underlie plant responses to infection to B. cinerea. The genetic control of pathogen recognition and activation of defense to restrict pathogen ingress and colonization is likely to emerge from such studies. Deeper understanding of resistance mechanisms and their genetic control will aid produce cultivars with genetic resistance to B. cinerea. The genetic components of induced resistance in different plant species and future implications are discussed.
