This Research Topic will collate selected contributions to the Botrysclero2022 - Joint 18th International Botrytis Symposium & 17th International Sclerotinia Workshop being held in Avignon, France from the 13th to 17th June 2022.
Botrytis spp and Sclerotinia spp are fungal pathogens of major agricultural importance. These fungi target many economically important crops, including oilseed rape, sunflower, soybeans, sheltered horticultural crops, post-harvest fruit, and vegetables. Urgent interventions are required to better understand these pathogens and mitigate their effects on crop production.
This Research Topic aims to bring together new biological research and technical innovations concerning these pathogens and their interactions with plants, to ultimately help advance the development of effective and sustainable control methods.
We welcome submissions of all types arising from oral and/or poster presentations from the symposium, as well as external submissions which will further enrich the knowledge of these pathogens. The scope will cover Botrytis and Sclerotinia host-pathogen interactions, including genetics, ecology, epidemiology, plus strategies for the pathogens' sustainable management.
