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 [PDF]
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 ...

Comparative modeling of DNA and RNA polymerases from Moniliophthora perniciosa mitochondrial plasmid. [PDF]
The filamentous fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa (Stahel) Aime & Phillips-Mora is a hemibiotrophic Basidiomycota that causes witches' broom disease of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.). This disease has resulted in a severe decrease in Brazilian cocoa production, which changed the position of Brazil in the market from the second largest cocoa exporter to a ...

Genome-wide identification and characterization of cacao WRKY transcription factors and analysis of their expression in response to witches' broom disease. [PDF]
Transcriptional regulation, led by transcription factors (TFs) such as those of the WRKY family, is a mechanism used by the organism to enhance or repress gene expression in response to stimuli.

Association mapping and genome prediction reveal a complex genetic architecture for resistance to black and frosty pod rot in cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) populations [PDF]
Abstract Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) production is severely constrained by black pod rot (BPR) and frosty pod rot (FPR), two major diseases that cause substantial yield losses across the tropics. Breeding for disease resistance remains challenging due to long generation intervals and the complex genetic control of disease responses. Here, we used genome‐
