Mutation Breeding in Arabica Coffee
, 2023 AbstractCoffee is a perennial (sub)tropical crop and one of the most valuable commodities globally. Coffee is grown by an estimated 25 million farmers, mostly smallholders, and provides livelihoods to about 125 million people. The Coffea genus comprises over 120 species. Two species account for nearly the entire world coffee production: C.
