Descriptions

Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic fungus that affects many plant species, although its most notable hosts may be 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 or the Aszú of Tokaj. The species name Botrytis cinerea is derived from the Latin for "grapes like ashes"; although poetic, the "grapes" refers to the bunching of the fungal spores on their conidiophores, and "ashes" just refers to the greyish color 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 cinerea (see taxonomy box). Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.

Botrytis cinerea is called the grey mold, as it covers the decayed tissues with conidiophores.

B. cinerea is found regularly in the soil, though its proportion of the total fungus population is not high. It can be parasitic on a wide range of plants, causing blight or rot of leaves, flowers and fruits. It is called the grey mold, as it covers the decayed tissues with conidiophores, e.g. grey mold of cabbage or lettuce, tomato. It is especially seen in connection with soft fruits, e.g. strawberries and grapes.

Individuals exposed to B. cinerea may be sensitised to this fungus without experiencing any clinical symptoms, or may experience exacerbation of symptoms of asthma, hayfever or sinusitis, or may develop hypersensitivity pneumonitis (also known as 'winegrower's lung'). IgE- binding components from B. cinerea appear to have both early- and late-phase antigens. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB. Source: ImmunoCap, ImmunoCap
