Interaction of Moniliophthora perniciosa biotypes with Micro‐Tom tomato: a model system to investigate the witches' broom disease of Theobroma cacao
2014-12-01
Abstract excerpt
The miniature tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cultivar Micro‐Tom (MT) has become an important platform to investigate plant–pathogen interactions. In the case of the witches' broom disease of Theobroma cacao (cacao), the existence of Moniliophthora perniciosa isolates pathogenic to Solanaceae (S‐biotype) may enable the use of MT to circumvent limitations of the cacao host, whereas the availability of a non‐infective...
