The ascomycete <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> Pers. Fr., classified within the family Sclerotiniaceae, is the agent that causes grey mould disease which infects at least 1400 plant species, including crops of economic importance such as grapes and strawberries. The life cycle of <i>B. cinerea</i> consists of two phases: asexual (anamorph, <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> Pers. Fr.) and sexual (teleomorph, <i>Botryotinia fuckeliana</i> (de Bary) Wetzel). During the XVI International Symposium dedicated to the <i>Botrytis</i> fungus, which was held in Bari in June 2013, the scientific community unanimously decided to assign the most widely used name of the asexual form, <i>Botrytis</i>, to this genus of fungi. However, in the literature, we continue to find articles referring to both morphic stages. In this review, we take stock of the genes and metabolites reported for both morphic forms of <i>B. cinerea</i> between January 2015 and October 2022.
