The basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa is the causal agent of the cacao witches broom disease, one of the main diseases that limit cacao production. With the sequencing of the pathogen and host (Theobroma cacao) genomes, with the consequent identification of putative signaling and defense genes, requires the establishment of a functional analysis platform to demonstrate gene function…
The witches' broom disease is the main disease that affects cacao (Theobroma cacao), caused by the basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa. Symptoms include stem swelling and excessive axillary shoots production on infected sites. Our research group has shown that the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) miniature cultivar 'Micro-Tom' ('MT') is a suitable genetic model system to investigate the …
