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.

Calcium alginate-immobilized β-glucosidase from Moniliophthora perniciosa: characterization and sugarcane bagasse hydrolysis

Biocatalysis and Biotransformation, 2023
The utilization of lignocellulosic materials for second-generation ethanol production via enzymatic catalysts is primarily hindered by enzyme cost. Enzymatic immobilization emerges as a viable solution, enabling enzyme reuse.

β‐Glucosidase produced by Moniliophthora perniciosa: Characterization and application in the hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse

Biotechnology and applied biochemistry, 2021
β‐Glucosidases (BGLs) belong to the group of enzymes of cellulases and act in the last stage of cellulose degradation, releasing glucose molecules, eliminating the inhibitory effect of cellobiose.

Searching for Moniliophthora perniciosa pathogenicity genes

Fungal Biology, 2010
The basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa is the causal agent of witches' broom disease of Theobroma cacao (cacao). Pathogenesis mechanisms of this hemibiotrophic fungus are largely unknown. An approach to identify putative pathogenicity genes is searching for sequences induced in mycelia grown under in vitro conditions.

Population structure of Moniliophthora perniciosa in the main cacao producing departments of Colombia.

Plant Disease, 2021
The witches' broom (Moniliophthora perniciosa) is considered as one of the main threats for cacao production and, consequently, for chocolate production worldwide.. In this work, the genetic diversity and population structure of M.

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

Molecular 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,

Biologia de Sistemas de Pectinases do Fungo Moniliophthora perniciosa

Diálogos & Ciência, 2013
Pectinases (pectin methylesterases [PMEs], polygalacturonases [PGs] and protopectinases) are enzymes involved in the degradation of the pectic molecule, which is the main component of the plant middle lamella. Phytopathogens produce such enzymes, which are very important for their virulence.

Root Development of Tomato Plants Infected by the Cacao Pathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa Is Affected by Limited Sugar Availability.

Plant, Cell and Environment
Moniliophthora perniciosa is the causal agent of the witches' broom disease of cacao (Theobroma cacao), and it can infect the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) 'Micro-Tom' (MT) cultivar.

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.
