The pathogens aggression with endless evolutionary pressure refines their molecular strategies to achieve the successful pathogenesis. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib) de Bary, a necrotrophic phytopathogen is ubiquitously distributed worldwide and affecting the large number of host species. Several control measures like fungicides application, cultural practices, crop rotation are the usual practices available to the farmers are in use. But, despite its success, these processes are quite expensive and indistinctness of fungicides doses and time of application are the major hurdle in their routine use. Although, partial resistance/tolerance has already been reported in B. napus and B. carinata but not a single source in B. juncea, which hinders the resistance breeding program. However, the recent advancement in biotechnological interventions are observed more promising in developing the alternatives like fungal growth inhibition, defense response activation, detoxification of the virulence factors, and RNAi or HIGS for engineered resistance to the Sclerotinia stem rot disease
