“…Moniliophthora perniciosa activates a genetic arsenal to prevail in the molecular battle with the hosts. In the germination phase, the DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase genes were identified in some studies as upregulated compared to the investigated treatments [ 11 , 52 ]. Effector protein, chitin deacetylase 9, asparagine amidase a, oxidase, and plant pathogenesis related 1 protein also showed transcriptional activity in the fungal germination stage ( Supplementary Table S1 ).…”

Significant scientific advances to elucidate the Moniliophthora perniciosa pathosystem have been achieved in recent years, but the molecular biology of this pathogen-host interaction is still a field with many unanswered questions. In order to present insights at the molecular level, we present the first systematic review on the theme. All told, 1118 studies were extracted from public databases. Of these, 109 were eligible for the review, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicated that understanding the transition from the biotrophic-necrotrophic phase of the fungus is crucial for control of the disease. Proteins with strong biotechnological potential or that can be targets for pathosystem intervention were identified, but studies regarding possible applications are still limited. The studies identified revealed important genes in the M. perniciosa-host interaction and efficient molecular markers in the search for genetic variability and sources of resistance, with Theobroma cacao being the most common host. An arsenal of effectors already identified and not explored in the pathosystem were highlighted. This systematic review contributes to the understanding of the pathosystem at the molecular level, offering new insights and proposing different paths for the development of new strategies to control witches’ broom disease.
