Склеротиниевые - Sclerotiniaceae 8/4/13—3/28/24

Sclerotiniaceae is a family of fungi within the order Helotiales of the Ascomycota phylum. The family contains several genera of plant pathogenic fungi, including the well-known genera Sclerotinia and Botrytis. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a species within Sclerotiniaceae, causes white mold on various crops and plants, including vegetables, fruits, and ornamental flowers. It produces small, hard, black sclerotia that can survive in soil for several years and airborne spores that can be dispersed by wind or rain. Botrytis cinerea, another species within Sclerotiniaceae, causes gray mold on various crops and plants, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental flowers. It produces airborne spores that can spread to nearby plants and can survive on infected plant material. Sclerotiniaceae fungi can cause significant economic losses in the agriculture and horticulture industries. Control measures include cultural practices such as crop rotation and the removal of infected plant material, as well as fungicides and biological control agents. Research on the ecology, taxonomy, and physiology of Sclerotiniaceae fungi aids in understanding their distribution, virulence, and potential control measures. Some species within this family may have potential applications in biotechnology and pharmaceutical research due to their unique secondary metabolites. In summary, Sclerotiniaceae is a family of plant pathogenic fungi containing several genera, including Sclerotinia and Botrytis, that can cause significant economic losses. Control measures include cultural practices, fungicides, and biological control agents. Research on this family aids in understanding its ecology, taxonomy, and potential applications.
