Seeds from molded bud; genetic effect?

Coastal NorCal humidity and September rain destroyed a few of my plants with botrytis mold (I strongly suspect), two of which were seeded.
I’m honestly okay with that, and am actually hoping it will carry a genetic resistance but could it go the other way? -or no effect?
One of the plants is still alive, and has unmolded branches, but I harvested the seed-selected branches, which were thoroughly rotted.
Hoping for some folks’ anecdotes/experience with such.
Thanks

If you are breeding for mold resistance you don’t select seeds from plants that had poor mold resistance.
Fair enough, but I wondered if continuing the line will increase resistance. But, yeah, the easiest route would be selecting from unmolded in the same scenario, but that area of plants was pretty decimated and I had chosen the ones to seed early on based on other traits.
