| Description | The fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa (syn. Crinipellis perniciosa) is the causal agent of Witches' Broom Disease (WBD, one of the most economically important diseases of Theobroma cacao (cocoa) in the Americas. A highly infectious disease, its wind dispersed spores can infect many different tissues in an actively growing tree (including the pods) and in extreme cases it can lead to tree death. Control of the disease in infected plantations is difficult, laborious and expensive. At 26.7Mb the mitochondrial genome of M. perniciosa is relatively larger than most fungi due to the presence of a number of non-conserved hypothetical ORFs. An unusual characteristic of the M. perniciosa mitochondrial genome is a region of inverted repeats which could represent the stable integration of a mitochondrial linear plasmid. |
