Abstract
To establish a safe, efficient, and simple biocontrol measure for gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea, the basic characteristics and antifungal activity of KRS005 were studied from multiple aspects including morphological observation, multilocus sequence analysis and typing (MLSA-MLST), physical-biochemical assays, broad-spectrum inhibitory activities, control efficiency of gray mold, and determination of plant immunity. The strain KRS005, identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, demonstrated broad-spectrum inhibitory activities against various pathogenic fungi by dual confrontation culture assays, of which the inhibition rate of B. cinerea was up to 90.3%. Notably, through the evaluation of control efficiency, it was found that KRS005 fermentation broth could effectively control the occurrence of tobacco leaves gray mold by determining the lesion diameter and biomass of B. cinerea on tobacco leaves still had a high control effect after dilution of 100 folds. Meanwhile, KRS005 fermentation broth had no impact on the mesophyll tissue of tobacco leaves. Further studies showed that plant defense-related genes involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA)-related signal pathways were significantly upregulated when tobacco leaves were sprayed with KRS005 cell-free supernatant. In addition, KRS005 could inhibit cell membrane damage and increase the permeability of B. cinerea. Overall, KRS005, as a promising biocontrol agent, would likely serve as an alternative to chemical fungicides to control gray mold.

Abstract
Chitosan biomaterials are widely used in the biological area because of their broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. However, chitosan cannot be dissolved in a neutral solution, limiting its application in various fields seriously. In this study, water-soluble sulfonated oxidized chitosan (SOCS) with antifungal activity were prepared by oxidization and sulfonation. Its structure was clearly confirmed by spectroscopy data (FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR) and elemental analysis. SEM images of OCS and SOCS revealed that there was a little curly and an irregular sheet-like morphologies on them which was attributed to the oxidation and sulfonation on CS. Moreover, the FTIR and NMR indicated that -OH on the CS was oxidized into -COOH on the OCS and -SO3H groups on the SOCS. The EDS results of OCS and SOCS confirmed the presence of the oxygen element in OCS and the S element in SOCS. All studies confirmed the OCS and SOCS were synthesized successfully. Furthermore, the inhibitory activity of SOCS biocomposites against plant pathogenic fungi, (Fusarium graminearum), was investigated. The results showed that the SOCS have significant inhibitory effects on the mycelial growth of F. graminearum. The EC50 value of SOCS against F. graminearum is 79.46 μg/mL. The research results presented above indicated that SOCS can be used as a candidate material for the control of plant pathogenic fungi, and can broaden the application of chitosan materials in plant protection and sustainable agriculture.Research highlightsSOCS showed better solubility in deionized water.The antifungal effect of SOCS dissolved in acetic acid was higher than that of CS dissolved in acetic acid.SOCS dissolved in water can cause an inhibitory effect on F. graminearum at lower concentrations.

Abstract
Reduction in food waste, as well as non-invasive methods for extending the shelf-life of perishable fruits, are important global challenges. To achieve these objectives, in this paper, the use of natural compounds, chitosan films (CS) incorporated with essential oils from leaves, for postharvest fungal protection of strawberries is proposed. In the present study, the CS films incorporated with the essential oil from Perilla frutescens leaves (PFEO) at different concentrations were prepared and employed for packaging strawberries infected by B. cinerea during refrigerated storage at 4 °C for 10 days. Interestingly, the strawberries coated with CS films containing PFEO at 1.0% during this period possessed an effective antimicrobial effect against B. cinerea infection in potato dextrose agar (PDA). Moreover, the quality properties of the strawberries, (i.e., weight loss, firmness index, decay percentage, yeasts/molds, pH value, total soluble solids, titrable acidity, and maturity index), together with the sensory attributes (i.e., appearance, flavor, taste, and overall acceptability (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01)) were improved. These results demonstrated that (i) PFEO displayed a significant inhibitory effect against B. cinerea infection in strawberries, (ii) CS films containing PFEO at 1.0% could be a sustainable active food packaging for the refrigerated storage of strawberries.

Abstract
Botrytis cinerea is one of the most critical agro-economic phytopathogens and has been reported to cause gray mold disease in more than 1000 plant species. Meanwhile, small interfering RNA (siRNA), which induce RNA interference (RNAi), are involved in both host immunity and pathogen virulence. B. cinerea has been reported to use both siRNA effectors and host RNAi machinery to facilitate the progression of gray mold in host species. Accordingly, RNAi-based biofungicides that use double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to target essential fungal genes are considered an emerging approach for controlling devastating gray mold diseases. Furthermore, spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS), in which the foliar application of dsRNA is used to silence the pathogen virulence genes, holds great potential as an alternative to host-induced gene silencing (HIGS). Recently, SIGS approaches have attracted research interest, owing to their ability to mitigate both pre- and post-harvest B. cinerea infections. The RNAi-mediated regulation of host immunity and susceptibility in B. cinerea–host interactions are summarized in this review, along with the limitations of the current knowledge of RNAi-based biofungicides, especially regarding SIGS approaches for controlling gray mold diseases under field conditions.

Abstract
Botrytis cinerea is the causal agent of grey mould for more than 200 plant species, including economically important vegetables, fruits and crops, which leads to economic losses worldwide. Target of rapamycin (TOR) acts a master regulator to control cell growth and proliferation by integrating nutrient, energy and growth factors in eukaryotic species, but little is known about whether TOR can function as a practicable target in the control of plant fungal pathogens. Here, we characterize TOR signalling of B. cinerea in the regulation of growth and pathogenicity as well as its potential value in genetic engineering for crop protection by bioinformatics analysis, pharmacological assays, biochemistry and genetics approaches. The results show that conserved TOR signalling occurs, and a functional FK506-binding protein 12 kD (FKBP12) mediates the interaction between rapamycin and B. cinerea TOR (BcTOR). RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis revealed that BcTOR displayed conserved functions, particularly in controlling growth and metabolism. Furthermore, pathogenicity assay showed that BcTOR inhibition efficiently reduces the infection of B. cinerea in plant leaves of Arabidopsis and potato or tomato fruits. Additionally, transgenic plants expressing double-stranded RNA of BcTOR through the host-induced gene silencing method could produce abundant small RNAs targeting BcTOR, and significantly block the occurrence of grey mould in potato and tomato. Taken together, our results suggest that BcTOR is an efficient target for genetic engineering in control of grey mould, and also a potential and promising target applied in the biocontrol of plant fungal pathogens.

Abstract
Fungal diseases have been underestimated worldwide but constitute a substantial threat to several plant and animal species as well as to public health. The increase in the global population has entailed an increase in the demand for agriculture in recent decades. Accordingly, there has been worldwide pressure to find means to improve the quality and productivity of agricultural crops. Antifungal agents have been widely used as an alternative for managing fungal diseases affecting several crops. However, the unregulated use of antifungals can jeopardize public health. Application of fungicides in agriculture should be under strict regulation to ensure the toxicological safety of commercialized foods. This review discusses the use of antifungals in agriculture worldwide, the need to develop new antifungals, and improvement of regulations regarding antifungal use.

Abstract
Botrytis cinerea, which causes gray mold, is an important pathogen in four important economic crops, tomato, tobacco, cucumber and strawberry, in China and worldwide. Metabolic phenomics data on B. cinerea isolates from these four crops were characterized and compared for 950 phenotypes with a BIOLOG Phenotype MicroArray (PM). The results showed that the metabolic fingerprints of the four B. cinerea isolates were similar to each other with minimal differences. B. cinerea isolates all metabolized more than 17% of the tested carbon sources, 63% of the amino acid nitrogen substrates, 80% of the peptide nitrogen substrates, 93% of the phosphorus substrates, and 97% of the sulfur substrates. Carbon substrates of organic acids and carbohydrates, and nitrogen substrates of amino acids and peptides were the significant utilization patterns for B. cinerea. Each B. cinerea isolate contained 94 biosynthetic pathways. These isolates showed a large range of adaptabilities and were still able to metabolize substrates in the presence of the osmolytes, including up to 6% potassium chloride, 10% sodium chloride, 5% sodium sulfate, 6% sodium formate, 20% ethylene glycol, and 3% urea. These isolates all showed active metabolism in environments with pH values from 3.5 to 8.5 and exhibited decarboxylase activities. These characterizations provide a theoretical basis for the study of B. cinerea in biochemistry and metabolic phenomics and provide valuable clues to finding potential new ways to manage gray mold.

Abstract
Antifungal silver nanocomposites inspired by titanate nanotubes (AgTNTs) were successfully evaluated for the effective inactivation of the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea within 20 min. One-dimensional H2Ti3O7 nanotubes functionalized with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit unique surface and antifungal properties for the photoinactivation of B. cinerea. Nanostructured titanates were synthesized by the eco-friendly, practical, microwave-induced, hydrothermal method followed by a highly monodispersive AgNP UV-photodeposition. Protonated nanotubes of ∼11 nm in diameter and four-layers displayed high surface areas, 300 m2/g, with a size functionalization of 5 nm for the AgNPs. UV-vis DRS and XPS allowed the characterization and/or quantification of surface reactive species and cytotoxic silver species such as Ag°, Ag+. The effective biocidal properties of the nanocomposites were confirmed by using the well-known Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, and then proceeding to the effective inactivation of the phytopathogenic fungus under visible light. The photoassisted inactivation mechanism was examined by HAADF-STEM, HRTEM, and FESEM electronic microscopies. A plasmalemma invagination due to oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen, silver cytotoxicity species, and AgTNT sharp morphology damage expands the conidia to induce the cell death. The impact of the eco-friendly inactivation is significant because of the ease with which it is carried out and the possibility of being performed in situ with plants like tomato and grapes, which are ranked among the most valuable agricultural products worldwide.

Abstract
Tobacco grey mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is an important fungal disease worldwide. Boscalid, carbendazim, iprodione, pyrimethanil and propiconazole are representative botryticides for grey mold management. This research investigated the sensitivities of B. cinerea from tobacco to these chemicals using the Biolog FF Microplate. All five chemicals showed inhibitory activity, with average EC50 values of 0.94, 0.05, 0.50, 0.61 and 0.31 μg ml(-1), respectively. B. cinerea metabolized 96.8% of tested carbon sources, including 29 effectively and 33 moderately, but the metabolic fingerprints differed under pressures imposed by these botryticides. For boscalid, B. cinerea was unable to metabolize many substrates related to tricarboxylic acid cycle. For carbendazim, carbon sources related to glycolysis were not metabolized. For iprodione, use of most carbon substrates was weakly inhibited, and the metabolic profile was similar to that of the control. For propiconazole, no carbon substrates were metabolized and the physiological and biochemical functions of the pathogen were totally inhibited. These findings provide useful information on metabolic activities of these botryticides, and may lead to future applications of the Biolog FF Microplate for examining metabolic effects of other fungicides on other fungi, as well as providing a metabolic fingerprint of B. cinerea that could be useful for identification.
