This research focuses on understanding the mechanisms behind quiescent infections of the Botrytis cinerea fungus in strawberries. By using advanced microscopy and transcriptomics, the project aims to uncover how the pathogen transitions from dormancy to disease, providing insights for better management strategies.
Botrytis cinerea, a necrotrophic fungus that causes grey mold, poses a significant pre- and post-harvest threat to 1.2 million tonnes of strawberry produced annually in the EU.
This pathogen can establish quiescent, asymptomatic infections in strawberry flowers and unripe fruit, which progress to symptomatic infections as the fruit ripens.
Despite its importance, the biological and environmental factors that regulate the onset and termination of B. cinerea quiescence remain poorly understood. I…
