Biosurfactants synthesized by endophytic Bacillus strains as control of Moniliophthora perniciosa and Moniliophthora roreri [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2021 : Ecuador is responsible for up to 70 % of the world’s production of fine flavor cocoa. Although fungal diseases have reduced cocoa production, eco–friendly alternatives have been implemented to control the spread of phytopathogens.

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 ...

A new topology of ACBP from Moniliophthora perniciosa [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2010 Acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) is a housekeeping protein and is an essential protein in human cell lines and in Trypanosoma brucei. The ACBP of Moniliophthora perniciosa is composed of 104 amino acids and is possibly a non-classic isoform exclusively ...
