Disease Resistance Bud Rot
Bud rot resistance refers to a plant's genetic capacity to resist or tolerate Botrytis cinerea and related fungal pathogens that attack flowering tissue. This classification encompasses cultivars bred or selected for slower disease progression, denser trichome structures, faster flower maturation, or improved air circulation phenotypes. Breeders working in humid or high-pressure environments commonly prioritize this trait to reduce crop losses. Resistance is polygenic and environmental factors—including humidity, airflow, and temperature—substantially influence disease expression regardless of genetics. Documentation of bud rot susceptibility in breeding programs remains inconsistent across seed companies.

Breeders incorporate bud rot resistance through selective crossing of tolerant phenotypes, often combining it with other disease-resistance traits and environmental adaptation goals. This trait is particularly valued in breeding programs serving regions with persistent moisture or mold pressure.
