Frosty Pod Rot

open access: yes, 2021
Chapter 7 follows the journey of frosty pod rot from the first report of the disease in 1895 in western Ecuador to the present day, where it has spread to much of South and Central America, and several Caribbean countries. To date, it has not been reported in Brazil, and considerable effort is being expended to ensure it does not spread to other cacao ...

The mitochondrial genome of Moniliophthora roreri, the frosty pod rot pathogen of cacao

open access: yesFungal Biology, 2012
In this study, we report the sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of the Basidiomycete fungus Moniliophthora roreri, which is the etiologic agent of frosty pod rot of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.). We also compare it to the mtDNA from the closely-related species Moniliophthora perniciosa, which causes witches' broom disease of cacao.

The effect of cane molasses amendment on biocontrol of frosty pod rot (Moniliophthora roreri) and black pod (Phytophthora spp.) of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) in Panama

open access: yesBiological Control, 2006
Abstract Frosty pod rot (FPR), caused by Moniliophthora roreri, and black pod (BP), caused by Phytophthora spp., of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) cause combined pod losses of more than 80% in Panama. Biological control of both diseases appeared promising in Peru and is desired by certified organic producers in Panama.

Frosty Pod Rot (Moniliophthora roreri)

open access: yes, 2016
The history of frosty pod rot is chronologed and divided conveniently into periods or eras to better reflect the state of knowledge of the disease at the time. During the first period (1917–1975), the causal agent was ascribed to a species of Monilia (Ascomycota), but knowledge of the life cycle—including the mechanics of dispersal and infection—was ...

Improving the formulation and timing of application of endophytic biocontrol and chemical agents against frosty pod rot (Moniliophthora roreri) in cocoa (Theobroma cacao) [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Control, 2010
Frosty pod rot (FPR), caused by Moniliophthora roreri, reduces yields of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) by over 80% within a few years of disease outbreak. Both biological and chemical control approaches are being developed to supplement cultural management. Our objectives were to optimize the agent(s), their formulation and application regime for FPR control

Frosty pod rot: a major threat to cacao plantations on the move

Tropical Plant Pathology, 2021
Frosty pod rot, caused by Moniliophthora roreri, is the most damaging disease of cacao in both Central and Latin American cacao-producing regions. The high aggressiveness and efficient dispersion of M. roreri as well as the lack of effective control strategies for managing frosty pod rot are responsible for its devastating effect in cacao plantations ...

Estimation of genetic parameters associated with frosty pod rot (Moniliophthora roreri) and cacao production in Mexico

Tree Genetics and Genomes, 2021
Genetic parameters were estimated for frosty pod rot resistance and yield components in cacao using a linear mixed model approach (restricted maximum likelihood and best linear unbiased prediction). Two progeny trials established in the Rosario Izapa Experimental Field of the INIFAP in Chiapas, Mexico, were evaluated for frosty pod rot incidence and ...

Development of microsatellites for the cacao frosty pod rot pathogen, Moniliophthora roreri

open access: yesForest Pathology, 2014
SummaryMoniliophithora roreri, causal agent of cacao frosty pod rot, is considered one of the most devastating pathogens of this crop. In this study, we report the development of and validation of 28 microsatellite loci from an enriched library. From these, ten loci were demonstrated to be polymorphic in an Ecuadorian population composed of 27 isolates.
