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 ...

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.

Pre-infection Mechanisms on the Phylloplane: The First Biochemical Battlefield Between the Cacao Tree and Witches' Broom Pathogen

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2022
The leaf surface combines biochemical substances and pre-existing morphological structures, as well as the presence of microorganisms. This dynamic environment constitutes a plant's initial defense, as well as the first contact of phytopathogens during ...

A new topology of ACBP from Moniliophthora perniciosa

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 from Basidiomycetes. The M.

Identification of a key protein set involved in Moniliophthora perniciosa necrotrophic mycelium and basidiocarp development.

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2021
Moniliophthora perniciosa is a hemibiotrophic fungus that causes witches' broom disease in cacao (Theobroma cacao L.). The biotrophic fungal phase initiates the disease and is characterized by a monokaryotic mycelium, while the necrotrophic phase is ...

Restriction enzyme improves the efficiency of genetic transformations in Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of witches’ broom disease in Theobroma cacao

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008
The presence of restriction enzymes in the transformation mixture improved the efficiency of transformation in Moniliophthora perniciosa. The influence of the vector shape (linear or circular), the patterns of plasmid integration in genomic sites and the

Comparative modeling of DNA and RNA polymerases from Moniliophthora perniciosa mitochondrial plasmid. [PDF]

Theor Biol Med Model, 2009
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 ...
