Exploring the Research Evolution of Cacao Diseases Over the Past Two Decades: A Review
Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 6, Page 1470-1494, August 2025.A scientometric analysis (1999–2025) reveals multidisciplinary research on cacao diseases, highlighting genomics and global collaboration, with gaps in field validation and knowledge integration. ABSTRACT Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is an economically vital world crop facing threats from various diseases, causing substantial yield losses.

Expression analysis of transcription factors from the interaction between cacao and Moniliophthora perniciosa (Tricholomataceae) [PDF]
, 2010 Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is one of the most important tropical crops; however, production is threatened by numerous pathogens, including the hemibiotrophic fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, which causes witches' broom disease. To understand the mechanisms

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 6, Page 1905-1914, August 2025.This study provides the first multilocus genetic characterisation of “Candidatus Phytoplasma solani” strains infecting cucurbits. ABSTRACT The stolbur disease associated with “Candidatus Phytoplasma solani” (CaPsol) is very common in Europe and the Mediterranean regions and adversely affects perennial or annual plants but is rarely reported on ...

Wild or Introduced? Investigating the Genetic Landscape of Cacao Populations in South America
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Cacao populations span a continuum from wild to domesticated forms, shaped by complex patterns of human influence and selection. Using RAD‐sequencing, we show that native Upper Amazonian populations harbor the highest genetic diversity, while the Guiana group likely represents an isolated wild lineage and Amelonado shows clear signals of artificial ...
