Integrative chromosome-scale genome analysis of cupuassu provides insights into witches' broom disease resistance and expands genomic resources for Theobroma. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Amazon and increasingly relevant to regional bioeconomies. Its cultivation is severely affected by witches’ broom disease (WBD), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. While a chromosome‐scale genome of the susceptible genotype C1074 is available, the lack of a resistant ...
