Although it is a typical soil fungus, it is associated with plant tissue as a symbiont. Trichoderma species has associated with cocoa as a living plant symbiont but understanding the main factor to help Trichoderma isolates in retaining in the plant cuticle is still scarce. While it is critical to understand its role in tissue surface, the study will reveal the ability of Trichoderma isolates obtained from South Sulawesi to produce cutinase in order to help spore’s persistence in pod and flower surfaces before penetrating to control cocoa diseases. ## Keywords - Trichoderma - Cutinase - Biology - Biological pest control - Point of delivery - Fungus - Spore - Botany - Persistence (discontinuity) - Botrytis cinerea - Cuticle (hair) - Horticulture - Enzyme - Geotechnical engineering - Biochemistry - Engineering - Genetics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
