Novel sources of witches' broom resistance (causal agent Moniliophthora perniciosa) from natural populations of Theobroma cacao from the Brazilian Amazon

2010-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Witches' broom is a severe disease of Theobroma cacao L. (cacao), caused by the basidiomycete Moniliophthora perniciosa. The use of resistant cultivars is the ultimate method of control, but there are limited sources of resistance. Further, resistance from the most widely used source (‘Scavina 6') has been overcome after a few years of deployment. New sources of resistance have been intensively searched for in the...
