Overview

Morphological and molecular identification of Lasiodiplodia theobromae in CCN-51 cacao plants suggests control strategies for necrotrophic fungi.

Key Points

  • Lasiodiplodia theobromae caused necrotic lesions in CCN-51 cacao plants, highlighting its role as a pathogen.
  • Fungal isolates showed 100% DNA quality for analysis and were confirmed with 100% sequence similarity to GenBank.
  • The study utilized morphological characterization and DNA sequencing methods to confirm the fungal identity and genetic variability.
  • Findings underscore the necessity of studying necrotrophic fungi for sustainable cacao production and resistance strategies.
