Front Cover: Metabolite mass spectrometry profiling of cacao genotypes reveals contrasting resistances to Ceratocystis cacaofunesta phytopathogen

DOI: 10.1002/elps.202100097 The cover design shows cocoa crops, which are cultural, economic, social, and environmental aspects of some places in Brazil, South America, other continents. Phytopathogens a risk for crops their legacy. When ceratocystis wilt symptoms appear, it is already too late to apply fungicides or adopt field disinfection procedures, while plant death imminent. Resistant genotypes the best way deal with disease, but there no effective method classify resistant susceptible clones. We demonstrate an LC-MS based untargeted metabolomic screening analysis evaluate level resistance cacao when infected by C. cacaofunesta fungus, constitutes novelty this work.
