Other species of Botrytis may be present, such as B. peoniae on peonies, B. squamosa on onion, and B. tulipae on tulips. These species of Botrytis share some common characteristics in pathology and ecology. The generic name Botrytis is derived from the Greek bótrys ("cluster of", "grapes") and the Latin suffix -itis ("like"). [5]
Botryotinia fuckeliana (or its anamorph Botrytis cinerea) is an important species for wine industry as well as horticulture. Other economically important species include Botryotinia convoluta (the type species of the genus), Botryotinia polyblastis, Botrytis allii and Botrytis fabae.
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 U. botrytis strain associated with this environment is called LPSC 813 and has great cellulolytic ability. [12] Ulocladium. botrytis has potential, albeit limited, to be used as a biocontrol agent against the parasitic herbaceous plant genus Orobanche that affect the yield of certain crops like tomatoes.

Botrydial is produced by Botrytis cinerea when the host plant is infected. As a result, botrydial induces chlorosis and cell collapse. [ 8 ] Additionally, aggressive strains of the fungus secrets polyketides such as botcinic acid that exhibit phytotoxic and antifungal activity.
Beauveria brongniartii is an entomopathogenic ascomycete fungus prevalent in various ecosystems, including forest soils, alpine grasslands, and peat bogs. [2] Known for its effectiveness against coleopteran pests, particularly the European cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha) and forest cockchafer (M. hippocastani), B. brongniartii has been widely adopted in biological control strategies across ...
There are seven different species of Botrytis associated with onions in storage, but the rot induced by B. allii and B. aclada causes the greatest commercial loss. The two can be distinguished microscopically; the conidia of B. allii have a maximum length of 15 μm and mean size of 10.2 × 5.7 μm, while the conidia of B. aclada have a maximum length of 12 μm and mean size of 8.6 × 4.6 μm.
