The necrotrophic plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea (Pers., 1794), the causative agent of gray mold disease, causes significant losses in agricultural production. Control this fungal pathogen is quite difficult due to its wide host range and environmental persistence. Currently, management disease still mainly based on chemicals, which can have harmful effects not only environment human health but also because they favor development strains resistant fungicides. flexibility plasticity B. challenging defense mechanisms ability evolve strategies escape chemicals require new control for successful management. In review, some aspects host-pathogen interactions from novel sustainable could be developed (e.g., signaling pathways, molecules involved immune mechanisms, hormones, post-transcriptional gene silencing) were analyzed. New biotechnological tools use RNA interference (RNAi) are emerging crop protection scenario as versatile, sustainable, effective, environmentally friendly alternatives chemicals. RNAi-based fungicides expected approved soon, although will face several challenges before reaching market.
