Resistance to witches’ broom in adult plants and progeny of local varieties of cacao in Southern Bahia

Abstract: Plants of local cacao variety from Southern Bahia were evaluated in order to verify if there are different levels of resistance to witches' broom disease in the study population and if the evaluation of adult plants in the field is a good predictor of these resistance levels. The seedlings were maintained under greenhouse conditions and inoculated with the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa. Evaluations of symptoms occurred 60 days after inoculation. In the field, the same genotypes were evaluated by counting th… Show more

“…In Brazil, the most adopted resistant pattern is SCA 6 and the susceptible Catongo (a mutation of 'Comum' variety with white seeds) and/or SIC 23 (a 'Comum' selection at the Cacao Institute). In previous inoculation studies, all three patterns performed as expected (2, 5, 13,18,21,23,5,21,13).…”

“…Research shows that genetic enhancement of the cocoa tree has managed to progress in the selection of cultivars resistant to witches’ broom (Ahnert et al, 2018; Marssaro et al, 2020). In the state of Bahia, Brazil, the first cultivars with specificity of resistance to witches’ broom were launched in 1997 by CEPLAC; however, they lost resistance to witches’ broom in a short space of time, were incapable of self‐fertilization, and there were problems with low productivity.…”
