The extraction and characterisation of a polysaccharide from Moniliophthora perniciosa CCMB 0257
Natural Product Research, 2017 The alpha-D-glucans are worldwide acknowledged as powerful immune system stimulants found in several sources; however, the fungal-derived sources appear to respond with higher activity. The present study has investigated polysaccharide production in Moniliophthora perniciosa. The dry biomass was subjected to thermal treatment in alkaline solution after

Genomic selection on cacao for disease resistance : S04T08 [PDF]
, 2013 Under favorable conditions, diseases can cause losses up to 100% in cacao. Breeding has been the most effective strategy in reducing these losses. However, breeding is limited by the: a) long generation time; b) large tree size (9 m2/tree); c) multiple ...
