https://doi.org/10.13102/scb7992Abstract
This article records some general aspects of the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa in the state of Bahia, such as the occurrence of the plague, its biological cycle, methods of control, and a detailed description of three molecular targets of cell wall. The objective is to provide information that can give support to researchers who intend to initiate projects having M. perniciosa as the central theme.
