Breeding for the Main Agricultural Farming of Arabica Coffee [PDF]
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 So far, the main Arabica coffee breeding programmes in Latin America have focused on the selection of varieties adapted to intensive full-sun farming systems. Meanwhile, little attention has been paid to breeding varieties specifically adapted to shade, which is the main characteristic of agroforestry systems (AFS).

Coffee sustainability: leveraging collaborative breeding for variety improvement
Frontiers in Sustainable Food SystemsThe sustainability of global coffee supply is threatened by production challenges worsening with every decade since the turn of the 21st century. Coffee is among the most popular beverages in the world, and its production supports livelihoods of millions

Genome association of carbohydrate metabolites provides new insights toward functional breeding in coffee [PDF]
The Plant GenomeCoffee is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages, derived mainly from Coffea arabica, known for its superior flavor, and Coffea canephora (Robusta/Conilon), valued for its resilience and higher caffeine content.

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.

Climate-Resilient F3 Progenies of Coffea arabica: Agronomic Traits and Antibiosis to Hypothenemus hampei [PDF]
PlantsClimate change is expected to reduce coffee yields and intensify infestations by Hypothenemus hampei, the most destructive coffee pest worldwide. Strengthening host plant resistance offers a sustainable approach to mitigate these impacts.

Genetic Control of Resistance to Colletotrichum kahawae in Coffee: Evidence of Polygenic Inheritance and Differential Host Genotype Responses to Pathogen Isolates [PDF]
PlantsColletotrichum kahawae is the causal agent of coffee berry disease (CBD), a disease restricted to African countries producing C. arabica, which affects coffee production and is a potential phytosanitary threat for coffee plants growing at other latitudes.

American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2017 Genetic variation is important in breeding programs because it determines the amount of gain from selection. This study was conducted to determine the magnitude of genetic diversity in coffee (Coffea Arabica L.) accessions for developing superior cultivars in Rwanda.
