Transcriptomic Analysis of Resistant and Wild-Type Botrytis cinerea Isolates Revealed Fludioxonil-Resistance Mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold, is one of the most destructive pathogens of cherry tomatoes, causing fruit decay and economic loss. Fludioxonil is an effective fungicide widely used for crop protection and is effective against tomato gray mold. The emergence of fungicide-resistant strains has made the control of B. cinerea more difficult. While the genome of B. cinerea is available, there are few reports regarding the large-scale functional annotation of the genome using expressed genes derived from transcriptomes, and the mechanism(s) underlying such fludioxonil resistance remain unclear. The present study prepared RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) libraries for three B. cinerea strains (two highly resistant (LR and FR) versus one highly sensitive (S) t
