Botrytis cinerea: The Cause of Tomatoes Gray Mold

Abdelhak Rhouma,
Lobna Hajji-Hedfi,
Mohamed Kouadri
et al.

Abstract: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is an important and valuable fruit because of its unique economic, health, and nutritional benefits. Among the fungal diseases affecting tomato crops, gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers.: Fr., is considered one of the most devastating diseases leading to an accountable loss. This airborne pathogen has the ability to kill tomato cells and produce toxins, causing massive production losses at all development stages and even post-harvest. Annual economic yield losses due to … Show more

“…IPM strategies are crucial for sustainable agriculture, balancing the need for crop protection with environmental and economic considerations. These practices are continually evolving with advances in plant breeding, precision agriculture, and fungicide development, offering new tools and techniques to manage late blight more effectively [2,8,18,35]. Mujica & Kroschel [36] and Kroschel et al [37] evaluated integrated pest management (IPM) versus farmer practices for controlling pests and diseases in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) on the central coast of Peru.…”

“…This process begins with meiosis in the gametangia, followed by the fusion of the male antheridium nucleus with the female oogonium nucleus (karyogamy). This fusion results in the formation of a thick-walled, diploid oospore capable of long-term dormancy [8,46]. The coexistence of both mating types increased the potential for sexual reproduction and oospore formation in P. infestans, posing a serious threat to potato and tomato production worldwide [35].…”
