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 ...

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.

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 ...

Diversity in the invasive cacao pathogen Moniliophthora roreri is shaped by agriculture
Plant Pathology, Volume 71, Issue 8, Page 1721-1734, October 2022., 2022 The highest genetic diversity of the cacao pathogen Moniliophthora roreri is in Ecuador and Colombia, while it drastically decreased in recently invaded countries Abstract Frosty pod rot disease of cacao (FPR), caused by the fungus Moniliophthora roreri, has severely impacted the production of cocoa in Latin America since its discovery.

In silico modeling of the Moniliophthora perniciosa Atg8 protein
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2013 Autophagy is defined as an intracellular system of lysosomal degradation in eukaryotic cells, and the genes involved in this process are conserved from yeast to humans. Among these genes, ATG8 encodes a ubiquitin-like protein that is conjugated to a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) membrane by the ubiquitination system.
