Protein profile and protein interaction network of Moniliophthora perniciosa basidiospores. [PDF]
BMC Microbiol, 2016 Witches' broom, a disease caused by the basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa, is considered to be the most important disease of the cocoa crop in Bahia, an area in the Brazilian Amazon, and also in the other countries where it is found. M. perniciosa germ tubes may penetrate into the host through intact or natural openings in the cuticle surface, in

The Moniliophthora roreri Effector MrB1 Affects Cellular Homeostasis and Induces Genotype-Dependent Necrosis in Theobroma cacao. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholThe effector MrB1 induces cytotoxicity in plant cells through oxidative stress, membrane damage, protein folding collapse, and energy failure. These alterations compromise cellular integrity and result in necrosis. ABSTRACT Frosty pod rot (FPR) is an invasive disease responsible for severe yield losses of cacao trees.

Integrative chromosome-scale genome analysis of cupuassu provides insights into witches' broom disease resistance and expands genomic resources for Theobroma. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Amazon and increasingly relevant to regional bioeconomies. Its cultivation is severely affected by witches’ broom disease (WBD), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. While a chromosome‐scale genome of the susceptible genotype C1074 is available, the lack of a resistant ...
