Small-scale cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) fermentation process utilizing cacao pod husk

Food Research, 2022
Cacao fermentation is a postharvest process that yields cacao flavour precursors which eventually develop into distinct cacao flavour and aroma upon roasting. A standardized procedure to achieve quality fermented beans is the utilization of a large amount of cacao wet beans (25 kg – 500 kg) placed in fermentation boxes to achieve desired fermentation ...

Pass‐Through of Cocoa Prices Along the Supply Chain: What's Left for Farmers in Côte d'Ivoire?

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire are trapped in a cycle of poverty and farming practices that degrade the environment. This paper aims to provide an in‐depth understanding of the price formation process for cocoa at each stage of the supply chain in the world's largest cocoa‐producing country.

In silico characterization and expression analysis of a Selenium-Binding Protein gene from cacao : S01P01 [PDF]

, 2013
Witches' broom disease, caused by the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, is one of the main diseases of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) and is responsible to severe economic losses in the production areas. Recently, expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from cacao-M.

Deciphering the genome structure and paleohistory of _Theobroma cacao_ [PDF]

, 2010
We sequenced and assembled the genome of _Theobroma cacao_, an economically important tropical fruit tree crop that is the source of chocolate. The assembly corresponds to 76% of the estimated genome size and contains almost all previously described ...

Is Technological Heterogeneity the Key to Sustainable Coffee Production Efficiency?: A Latent Class Frontier Analysis in the Traditional Coffee Region of Colombia

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coffee producers deal with uncertainty due to high volatility in coffee prices. To navigate these challenges, producers must balance the tradeoff between higher yield and better quality utilising heterogeneous technologies, such as intensive production methods and environmental management practices.

Effects of applying Trichoderma asperellum to rice (Oryza sativa) on phytobiome and plant responses

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the effect of dipping at transplanting or post‐transplanting spray application on the root‐associated microbiome or leaf epiphytes via amplicon sequencing, and on plant responses via RNA‐seq. Both root dipping and foliar application with Trichoderma asperellum spore suspension only had a limited impact on the leaf epiphytes and root ...

A new desiccation-related protein identified by proteomics in the phylloplane of Theobroma cacao [PDF]

, 2011
Currently, 20 millions of people from producing countries, such as Brazil, depend directly on cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) for their survival. The witches' broom disease caused by the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa had drastic consequences on the socio ...

Comparative analysis of plant immune receptor architectures uncovers host proteins likely targeted by pathogens. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Plants deploy immune receptors to detect pathogen-derived molecules and initiate defense responses. Intracellular plant immune receptors called nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins contain a central nucleotide-binding (NB ...

Monitoring spirodiclofen resistance in female Brevipalpus yothersi (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) from citrus orchards in Southeastern Brazil

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Spirodiclofen resistance levels in B. yothersi varied geographically across the Brazilian citrus belt, with higher resistance in the central region. Sublethal effects included reduced oviposition, increased non‐viable eggs and disrupted female reproduction.
