Development of molecular markers based on retrotransposons for the analysis of genetic variability in Moniliophthora perniciosa

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Plant Pathology, 2012
Moniliophthora perniciosa is a fungus that causes witches’ broom disease (WBD) in the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). The M. perniciosa genome contains different transposable elements; this prompted an evaluation of the use of its retrotransposons as ...

Homology modelling of pyrophosphosrylase, enzyme involved in chitin pathway of Moniliophthora perniciosa

International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications, 2009
Moniliophthora perniciosa (Sthael) (Singer) Phillips-Mora is the causal agent of witches' broom disease, which can infect Theobroma cacao decreasing the production of cocoa about 60%. M. perniciosa has a set of potential enzymes that can be useful targets for design of new inhibitors.

Expression and characterization of LacMP, a novel fungal laccase of Moniliophthora perniciosa FA553

Biotechnology Letters, 2015
To characterize a putative laccase gene, LacMP, of Moniliophthora perniciosa FA553 that had been screened using a genome mining approach, then cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris.The purified recombinant LacMP was ~57 kDa with a maximum laccase activity of 232 U/l.

Characterization of microsatellites from cacao–Moniliophthora perniciosa interaction expressed sequence tags [PDF]

open access: possibleMolecular Breeding, 2008
Theobroma cacao L.–Moniliophthora perniciosa expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were converted into useful satellite markers for population analysis and genetic mapping. Forty-nine flanking primer pairs from TSH1188 (a resistant genotype) and Catongo (a susceptible genotype) ESTs were designed and screened for polymorphism analysis. Eleven were polymorphic,

Hydrogen peroxide formation in cacao tissues infected by the hemibiotrophic fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2011
In plant-pathogen interaction, the hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) may play a dual role: its accumulation inhibits the growth of biotrophic pathogens, while it could help the infection/colonization process of plant by necrotrophic pathogens. One of the possible pathways of H₂O production involves oxalic acid (Oxa) degradation by apoplastic oxalate oxidase ...

Moniliophthora perniciosa in Angola, Africa—the First Record in the Eastern Hemisphere

Plant Disease
Moniliophthora perniciosa causes a destructive disease known as witches’ broom disease of cacao (WBDC). WBDC has been responsible for major reductions in production or even total abandonment of cacao plantations in most countries that it has invaded.

Witches’ Broom Disease (Moniliophthora perniciosa): History and Biology

2016
The history of witches’ broom disease is cataloged with special reference to its socioeconomic and ecological impact on the countries and regions affected. In particular, focus is placed on the Brazilian States of Rondonia and Bahia and the disastrous political events that have shaped their histories.
