Sink formation during shoot infection of tomato Micro-Tom by Moniliophthora perniciosa , the causal agent of cacao witches' broom disease, limits sugar supply for effective development of lateral roots

2023-11-14

Abstract excerpt

Moniliophthora perniciosa causes the witches’ broom disease of cacao, and it can infect the tomato Micro-Tom (MT). Typical symptoms are stem swelling and shoot outgrowth, whereas reduction in root biomass is another side effect. We investigated whether the impairment of root growth derives from a hormonal imbalance or sink competition. Intense stem swelling coincided with a reduction in root biomass, predominantly...
