Abstract Plant resistance to generalist pathogens with broad host ranges, such as Botrytis cinerea , is typically quantitative and highly polygenic. Recent studies have begun to elucidate the molecular genetic basis underpinning plant-pathogen interactions using commonly measured traits including lesion size and/or pathogen biomass. Yet with the advent of digital imaging and phenomics, there are a large number of additional resistance traits available to study quantitative resistance. In this study, we used high-t…
