Witches' broom disease of Theobroma cacao in Brazil, 1: Inoculation of ungerminated seeds
Ungerminated seeds of cacao infiltrated under vacuum with spore suspension of Crinipellis perniciosa (Stahel) Singer and then pre-germinated before planting produced hypertrophied hypocotyls and developed hypertrophied axillary buds. This technique of inoculation could be useful in mass-screening of individual plants for their reaction to infection by C. perniciosa.
