Molecular and metabolic changes of cherelle wilt of cacao and its effect on Moniliophthora roreri
2013-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Young Theobroma cacao pods, known as cherelles, are commonly lost to physiological thinning known as cherelle wilt. Cherelles are susceptible to frosty pod rot caused by Moniliophthora roreri. We studied the cherelle wilt process and its impact on M. roreri infection using microscopic, metabolite, and gene expression analyses. Wilt was associated with increased levels of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediaries and...
