The pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa promotes differential proteomic modulation of cacao genotypes with contrasting resistance to witches´ broom disease [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Witches’ broom disease (WBD) of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa, is the most important limiting factor for the cacao production in Brazil. Hence, the development of cacao genotypes with durable resistance is the

Unveiling molecular mechanisms of strobilurin resistance in the cacao pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa [PDF]

iScience
Summary: Strobilurin fungicides inhibit mitochondrial respiration, leading to ATP depletion and oxidative stress. Although widely used in agriculture, these chemicals are ineffective against the cacao pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa.

The BASIDIN effector of the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa promotes positive effects on the seed germination and seedlings development of Lactuca sativa. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
Plant resistance inducers that activate plant defense mechanisms may be useful in reducing agrotoxic use. Lettuce is among the most economically important leafy vegetable crops in the world. Since lettuce propagates through seeds, the use of high-quality
