Cacao

, 2003
L'amélioration génétique du cacaoyer repose toujours sur la création d'hybrides entre géniteurs appartenant à des populations différentes. Comme il est difficile d'établir clairement une classification uniquement sur la base des caractères morphologiques, on a développé l'utilisation de marqueurs biochimiques et moléculaires pour préciser l ...

Influence of Cocoa Liquor Origin on Cocoa Butter Composition and Color, Texture, and Rheological Properties of Milk and Dark Chocolates: A Preliminary Study

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study compared cocoa liquors from Ecuador, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire and evaluated their effects on the color, textural, and rheological properties of milk and dark chocolates. The results showed that cocoa origin influenced cocoa liquor characteristics and contributed to differences in chocolate quality.

Cacao agroforestry systems do not increase pest and disease incidence compared with monocultures under good cultural management practices

, 2020
Pests and diseases threaten cacao production worldwide. Agroforestry systems are traditionally seen by farmers as one of the causes of increased pest and disease incidence, in contrast with full-sun monocultures.

Land‐Use Shapes Soil Fungal Communities and Functional Guilds in Tropical Forest Ecosystems

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Land‐use change is a major cause of biodiversity loss and soil degradation in tropical regions. The role of soil fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), though critical, is often overlooked. AMF communities across cropland, disturbed forest, and undisturbed forest vegetation in southwestern Nigeria were relatively resilient to land‐use ...

Phylogenomic analysis of Madagascar's baobabs reveals admixed populations and supports resurrection of a previously described species

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Baobab trees (Adansonia) are iconic members of Madagascar's biota that serve as emblems for the island's unique biodiversity. Despite this recognition, many questions remain regarding evolutionary relationships and species limits within the genus.

Harnessing Genomic Information for Identifying the Geographic Origin of Five North American Tree Species in Trade

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Genomic tools for traceability of wood products offer a powerful tool to support sustainable forestry, fight illegal logging, and improve conservation efforts. Traditional identification methods (e.g., wood anatomy, spectroscopy) are limited in resolution or scope, but genomic approaches can infer both species identity and geographic origin ...
