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

Comparative Analysis of Expressed Genes From Cacao Meristems Infected by Moniliophthora perniciosa. [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2007 Witches' broom disease is caused by the hemibiotrophic basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa, and is one of the most important diseases of cacao in the western hemisphere. Because very little is known about the global process of such disease development, expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were used to identify genes expressed during the Theobroma cacao ...

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
