Proteomic Analysis of Plants with Binding Immunoglobulin Protein Overexpression Reveals Mechanisms Related to Defense Against Moniliophthora perniciosa.

ABSTRACT: Moniliophthora perniciosa is one of the main pathogens affecting cocoa, and controlling it generally involves planting resistant genotypes followed by phytosanitary pruning. The identification of plant genes related to defense mechanisms is crucial to unravel the molecular basis of plant-pathogen interactions. Among the candidate genes, BiP stands out as a molecular chaperone located in the endoplasmic reticulum that facilitates protein folding and is induced under stress conditions, such as pathogen attacks. In this study, the SoyBiPD gene was expressed in Solanum lycopersicum plants and the plants were challenged with M. perniciosa. The control plants exhibited severe symptoms of witches' broom disease, whereas the transgenic lines showed no or mild sym
