“…The regulation of gene expression under the effects of epigenetic mechanisms is another field not yet explored involving the M. perniciosa pathosystem and its hosts. The understanding and manipulation of resistance responses of plants with great agronomic importance affected by biotic and abiotic factors from an epigenetic standpoint is already well described for some species [ 41 , 103 , 104 , 105 ]. In this sense, there are no reports of Theobroma cacao , the main host of M. perniciosa , so there are no methods that aim to identify epigenetic mechanisms associated with resistance to the fungus.…”

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.
