Dynamic changes in pod and fungal physiology associated with the shift from biotrophy to necrotrophy during the infection of Theobroma cacao by Moniliophthora roreri
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Theobroma cacao pods were inoculated with meiospores of Moniliophthora roreri (Mr), a hemibiotrophic basidiomycete causing frosty pod rot. Pods were malformed 30 days after inoculation (DAI) and sporulation was observed 60 DAI. Glucose and asparagine concentrations decreased and mannitol and malonate increased in infected pods 30 DAI. By 60 DAI, most carbohydrates, amino acids, and organic acids were drastically r...
