Effects of microclimatic variables on the symptoms and signs onset of Moniliophthora roreri, causal agent of Moniliophthora pod rot in cacao. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2017
Moniliophthora Pod Rot (MPR) caused by the fungus Moniliophthora roreri (Cif.) Evans et al., is one of the main limiting factors of cocoa production in Latin America. Currently insufficient information on the biology and epidemiology of the pathogen limits the development of efficient management options to control MPR.

An Ustilaginoidea virens glycoside hydrolase 42 protein is an essential virulence factor and elicits plant immunity as a PAMP

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 1414-1429, November 2023., 2023
UvGHF1, as a GH42‐type glycosyl hydrolase secreted by Ustilaginoidea virens, contributes to U. virens virulence, whereas it is recognized by the rice surveillance system to trigger plant immunity. Abstract Rice false smut, caused by the ascomycete fungus Ustilaginoidea virens, which infects rice florets before heading, severely threatens rice grain ...

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 ...

Sustainable Development Frontiers: Is ‘Sustainable’ Cocoa Delivering Development and Reducing Deforestation?

Development and Change, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 691-713, July 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Forest frontiers are important areas for sustainable development as they combine the need to halt deforestation with the challenges of rural poverty. In the region of San Martín, Peru, the ‘Production, Protection and Inclusion’ model combines narratives of conservation, economic development and social inclusion in what can be defined as a ...

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.

Aerobe C‐N‐Bindungsknüpfung durch enzymatische Nitroso‐En‐Reaktionen**

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 7, February 6, 2023., 2023
Katalytische Promiskuität ermöglicht eine neue synthetische Anwendung von Peroxidasen und Laccasen, welche über einen Nitroso‐En‐Mechanismus die C‐N‐Bindungsknüpfungen von acylierten Hydroxylamin‐Derivaten vermitteln. Die ungewöhnliche biokatalytische Methode zur formalen, allylischen C‐H‐Aktivierung nutzt Luft als terminales Oxidationsmittel und ...

Aerobic C−N Bond Formation through Enzymatic Nitroso‐Ene‐Type Reactions**

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 62, Issue 7, February 6, 2023., 2023
In an exciting case of catalytic promiscuity, peroxidases and laccases participate in C−N bond‐forming reactions through the generation of reactive nitroso intermediates from acylated hydroxylamines. The formal allylic C−H bond activation proceeds with air as the terminal oxidant and provides high yields both in intramolecular and intermolecular ...
