Metabolomic Markers for the Early Selection of Coffea canephora Plants with Desirable Cup Quality Traits [PDF]
Genetic improvement of coffee plants represents a great challenge for breeders. Conventional breeding takes a too long time for responding timely to market demands, climatic variations and new biological threads. The correlation of genetic markers with the plant phenotype and final product quality is usually poor.
