Socio-ecological benefits of fine-flavor cacao in its center of origin. [PDF]

Conserv Lett, 2023
Abstract In the tropics, combining food security with biodiversity conservation remains a major challenge. Tropical agroforestry systems are among the most biodiversity‐friendly and productive land‐use systems, and 70% of cocoa is grown by >6 million smallholder farmers living on <2$ per day.

Plant defense compound triggers mycotoxin synthesis by regulating H2B ub1 and H3K4 me2/3 deposition

New Phytologist, Volume 232, Issue 5, Page 2106-2123, December 2021., 2021
Summary Fusarium graminearum produces the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) which promotes its expansion during infection on its plant host wheat. Conditional expression of DON production during infection is poorly characterized. Wheat produces the defense compound putrescine, which induces hypertranscription of DON biosynthetic genes (FgTRIs) and ...

The hemibiotrophic cacao pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa depends on a mitochondrial alternative oxidase for biotrophic development. [PDF]

New Phytol, 2012
Summary • The tropical pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa causes witches’ broom disease in cacao. As a hemibiotrophic fungus, it initially colonizes the living host tissues (biotrophic phase), and later grows over the dead plant (necrotrophic phase).

Production of Coconut Aroma in Solid‐State Cultivation: Screening and Identification of Trichoderma Strains for 6‐Pentyl‐Alpha‐Pyrone and Conidia Production

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The polyketide, 6‐pentyl‐alpha‐pyrone (6‐PP), has a characteristic coconut aroma and is produced by many Trichoderma species. In this study, we screened formerly isolated Trichoderma strains for 6‐PP production grown using solid‐state fermentation (SSF).

Identification of Four Entamoeba histolytica Organellar DNA Polymerases of the Family B and Cellular Localization of the Ehodp1 Gene and EhODP1 Protein

BioMed Research International, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
We report the identification of a family of four active genes (Ehodp1, Ehodp2, Ehodp3, and Ehodp4) encoding putative DNA polymerases in Entamoeba histolytica, the protozoan parasite responsible of human amoebiasis. The four Ehodp genes show similarity to DNA polymerases encoded in fungi and plant mitochondrial plasmids.

Purification and characterization of a beta-Glucanase produced by Trichoderma harzianum showing biocontrol potential

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2007
A beta-1,3-glucanase was produced by Trichoderma harzianum in cultures containing chitin as the sole substrate. Two proteins showing beta-1,3-glucanase activity were purified to apparent homogeneity by hydrophobic chromatography.
