DNA Markers for Coffee Tree Breeding
2000Coffee cultivation in the world has benefited greatly from the successful breeding programmes, which have given the farmers productive cultivars adapted to specific cropping conditions. For example, presently in Brazil the improved arabica coffee cultivars (Coffea arabica L.) produces three to four times more than the cultivars used in the past ...

Genetic Resources and Breeding of Coffee (Coffea spp.)
2019Coffee is an important agricultural export commodity in many Asian, African and Latin American countries. It provides a livelihood for more than 125 million people worldwide. The genus Coffea comprises more than 125 species of which only 2 species Coffea arabica (arabica coffee) and C. canephora (robusta coffee) are commercially cultivated for beverage

An Approach to Reduce the Time Required for Bean Yield Evaluation in Coffee Breeding
Crop Science, 1993Efficiency of plant breeding programs, particularly in perennial crops, may be improved by reducing the time required for evaluation prior to selection. The objective of this work was to study expected selection responses of several variables based on partial bean yields compared to total accumulated bean yield of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) during the ...

Developments in molecular breeding techniques in Robusta coffee
2018As a perennial crop, faster breeding methods are needed for coffee to be able to cope with the challenges of climate change that lie ahead. This chapter focuses on the state of the art of developed molecular tools, characterized traits, quantitative trait loci and candidate genes already described for Coffea canephora (Robusta coffee), which accounts ...

"In vitro" techniques as breeding tools for coffee
1992Les auteurs font mention du développement de la production d'embryons somatiques dans un bioréacteur. Afin d'obtenir des plantes résistantes aux insectes, des protoplastes ont été isolés à partir de suspension de cellules embryogènes et leur transformation a été tentée par électroporation ou biolistique.

A tentative breeding method for Robusta and other allogamous coffee species
Euphytica, 1954In Indonesia the usual method of breeding Robusta coffee consists of crossing carefully selected trees in order to ascertain which combinations give the best progenies. The most successful combinations are repeated on a large scale, the crossing partners being represented by clones.

Despite the differences between the two cultivated species Coffea arabica and C. canephora, in terms of breeding system and genetic diversity, there are some key elements in common for creating C. arabica and C. canephora varieties adapted to global warming (GW). The main existing farming systems are common to both species, and impose, for each farming

Prospects for breeding for resistance against fusarium wilt of coffee
1997La trachéomycose du caféier est une maladie qui est apparue en Afrique centrale et occidentale il y a environ 50 ans, avec un caractère de grande gravité. Cette maladie a entraîné la disparition de la culture de certaines variétés de #C. cenophora# comme le Kouilou. Sur #C.
