Genomic insights into population structure and predictive breeding for climate-resilient coffee
Climate change poses a growing threat to global coffee production, particularly for Coffea arabica, the most widely cultivated species. Coffea canephora (Robusta), with greater tolerance to heat and environmental stress, represents a critical genetic resource for sustaining future supply.

Breeding tools for durable resistance to nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) of coffee varieties [PDF]
Coffee is one of the world's largest traded commodities, produced in over 60 countries. Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) have become a major threat in all major coffee-growing areas. So far, more than fifteen species of Meloidogyne have been reported as pathogens of coffee (Coffea arabica L.). Nematocide treatments are only effective in the short

Breeding Programs Against Coffee Leaf Rust in Brazil: A Review
Leaf rust caused by Hemileia vastatrix Berk & Br. is the main disease that attack coffee plants all over the world. The disease causes 35-50% of yield loss in average in Brazil. The disease is present in all the countries that cultivate coffee (Coffea arabica L. and C. canephora L.).

New and efficient AS-PCR molecular marker for selection of coffee resistant to coffee leaf rust
Coffee leaf rust, caused by Hemileia vastatrix, is the most important disease affecting Coffea arabica. The use of molecular markers through marker-assisted selection (MAS) is an effective approach to develop cultivars with multiple and durable ...
