Botrytis cinerea
TaxID: 40559
Basic Information
Botrytis cinerea
Grey Mould, gray fruit mold
Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic (feeding on dead tissue) fungus that affects many plant species, including wine grapes. In viticulture, it is commonly known as "botrytis bunch rot"; in horticulture, it is usually called "grey mould" or "gray mold". The fungus gives rise to two different kinds of infections on grapes. The first, grey rot, is the result of consistently wet or humid conditions, and typically results in the loss of the affected bunches. The second, noble rot, occurs when drier conditions follow wetter, and can result in distinctive sweet dessert wines, such as Sauternes, the Asz of Tokaji, or Gras? de Cotnari. The species name Botrytis cinerea is derived from the Latin for "grapes like ashes"; the "grapes" refers to the bunching of the fungal spores on their conidiophores, while "ashes" refers to the greyish colour of the spores en masse. The fungus is usually referred to by its anamorph (asexual form) name, because the sexual phase is rarely observed. The teleomorph (sexual form) is an ascomycete, Botryotinia fuckeliana, also known as Botryotinia cinerea (see taxonomy box).

PRJNA1259775 SRX28694520 SRP583514 fungi Botrytis-cinerea treated with osthole for 36 hours, with a final concentration of EC50 Mycelial plugs (4 mm diameter) from the edge of 3-day-old colony of the CGMCC3.20932 was transferred to PDB medium culture for two days,with treated with DMSO , and inoculated in a shake cultivationat 25C for 12h. The RNA of the total sample was isolated and purified by TRIzol (thermofisher, 15596018) according to the operation scheme provided by the manufacturer. Then the quantity and purity of total RNA was controlled by NanoDrop ND-1000 (NanoDrop, Wilmington, DE, USA) and the integrity of RNA was detected by Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent, CA, USA). The concentration was >50ng/L, RIN value >7.0, and total RNA>9g.
