Adaptive evolution of Moniliophthora PR-1 proteins towards its pathogenic lifestyle

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Plant pathogenesis related-1 (PR-1) proteins belong to the CAP superfamily and have been characterized as markers of induced defense against pathogens.

Mitochondrial Genomics of Six Cacao Pathogens From the Basidiomycete Family Marasmiaceae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Thread blight disease has recently been described as an emerging disease on cacao (Theobroma cacao) in Ghana. In Ghana, thread blight disease is caused by multiple species of the Marasmiaceae family: Marasmius tenuissimus, M. crinis-equi, M.

Induction of systemic resistance in Theobroma cacao L. for the management of “witches’ broom” caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa

Tropical Plant Pathology, 2023
The pathogen Moliniophthora perniciosa can cause losses in the cocoa crop of more than 90% when integrated disease management is not carried out in the crop.

Genetics resources to study Moniliophthora perniciosa

, 2023
Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of wicthes´ broom disease of cacao, is one of the main cacao pathogens in the tropical. Besides species of the Malvaceae family, the fungal has emerged in host species of the Solanaceae, Malpighiaceae, and Bignoniaceae families. This host range is still poorly understood.

Geographic distribution, conservation, and genomic resources of cacao Theobroma cacao L

Crop Science, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 1750-1778, July/August 2023., 2023
Abstract The cacao tree, Theobroma cacao L., is cultivated in the tropics, mainly in agroforestry systems, to produce seeds, the valuable raw material for the chocolate industry. Thus, the conservation and use of cacao genetic resources in breeding programs to increase yield and improve quality and disease resistance are vital for the global cacao ...

Structural and functional analysis of the cerato‐platanin‐like protein Cpl1 suggests diverging functions in smut fungi

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 768-787, July 2023., 2023
Our structure–function analysis of the CP‐like protein 1 (Cpl1) from Ustilago maydis revealed a new mode of chitin binding and suggests synergy with other secreted fungal proteins during infection. Abstract Plant‐pathogenic fungi are causative agents of the majority of plant diseases and can lead to severe crop loss in infected populations.

The function of plant PR1 and other members of the CAP protein superfamily in plant–pathogen interactions

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 651-668, June 2023., 2023
Secreted pathogenesis‐related 1 (PR1) proteins are highly conserved and strongly induced upon stress. Phytopathogens require PR1‐like proteins for virulence, suggesting competition of these proteins in the extracellular space. Abstract The pathogenesis‐related (PR) proteins of plants have originally been identified as proteins that are strongly induced

A broadly conserved fungal alcohol oxidase (AOX) facilitates fungal invasion of plants

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 28-43, January 2023., 2023
An alcohol oxidase likely involved in the catabolism of plant metabolites is critical for infection by the broad host range fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and is highly conserved across plant‐associating Ascomycetes. Abstract Alcohol oxidases (AOXs) are ecologically important enzymes that facilitate a number of plant–fungal interactions ...

Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of witches' broom disease of cacao, interferes with cytokinin metabolism during infection of Micro-Tom tomato and promotes symptom development.

New Phytologist, 2021
Moniliophthora perniciosa causes witches' broom disease of cacao and inflicts symptoms suggestive of hormonal imbalance. We investigated whether infection of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) model system Micro-Tom (MT) by the Solanaceae (S)-biotype of M.
