description <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> is a necrotrophic fungal phytopathogen with devastating effects on many <i>Vitis</i> genotypes. Here, a screening of 81 <i>Vitis</i> genotypes for leaf resistance to <i>B</i>. <i>cinerea</i> revealed two highly resistant (HR), twelve resistant (R), twenty-five susceptible (S) and forty-two highly susceptible (HS) genotypes. We focused on the HR genotype, &#8216;Zi Qiu&#8217; (<i>Vitis davidii</i>), and the HS genotype &#8216;Riesling&#8217; (<i>V</i>. <i>vinifera</i>), to elucidate mechanisms of host resistance and susceptibility against <i>B</i>. <i>cinerea</i>, using detached leaf assays. These involved a comparison of fungal growth, reactive oxygen species (ROS) responses, jasmonic acid (JA) levels, and changes in the anti-oxidative system between the two genotypes after inoculation with <i>B</i>. <i>cinerea</i>. Our results indicated that the high-level resistance of &#8216;Zi Qiu&#8217; can be attributed to insignificant fungal development, low ROS production, timely elevation of anti-oxidative functions, and high JA levels. Moreover, severe fungal infection of &#8216;Riesling&#8217; and sustained ROS production coincided with relatively unchanged anti-oxidative activity, as well as low JA levels. This study provides insights into <i>B</i>. <i>cinerea</i> infection in grape, which can be valuable for breeders by providing information for selecting suitable germplasm with enhanced disease resistance.
