Phytophthora is a genus of oomycetes whose vast majority of species is phytopathogenic. Among these we can highlight Phytophthora parasitica and Phytophtora palmivora; the first more generalist, causing disease in citrus and other species and the second more specialist, causing brown rot in cacao. Knowledge about the mechanisms of infection of this genus has increased significantly in rec…
Receptors-like kinases (RLKs) are proteins located on the cell membrane having an extracellular domain that captures the signals coming from outside the cell and transmitting them to the kinase domain, which in turn transduces this signaling to the intracellular environment. In plants, many of these receptors have the function of signaling to an attack of pathogens, helping the plant to d…
Pseudomonas putida is a bacterial species with ability to colonize a wide range of environments. P. putida is known mainly as plant growth promoting bacteria. The production of auxins and siderophores by P. putida lead to the improvement of vegetal development, confer yield increment and give better protection against pathogens. During the annotation of C. arabica ESTs databank, we detect…
The cacao (theoborma cacao) is a major perennial crops in Brazil, generating a series of direct and indirect jobs, primarily related to the processing of chocolate. The attack by pathogens is a major cause of loss of productive cacao. In 1989, the southern region of state of Bahia, the largest producing region of the country, suffered from a epidemic of witches' broom disease caused by th…
The cocoa culture is of great importance worldwide and for Brazilian agriculture, mainly due to the chocolate industry, with an increase in demand for its production. However, this productive increase faces challenges, one of which is the incidence of pests and pathogens. Caused by the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, the disease called witches' broom (BV) was one of those responsible fo…
Coffee is one of the most important agricultural commodities worldwide. It has been target in breeding programs aimed at introducing new characters to obtain hybrids with superior agronomic traits, such as uniform flowering, higher yield, higher grain size, better beverage quality, lower caffeine content and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Being an allotetraploid, Coffea arabic…
