Geographic distribution, conservation, and genomic resources of cacao Theobroma cacao L

Crop Science, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 1750-1778, July/August 2023., 2023
Abstract The cacao tree, Theobroma cacao L., is cultivated in the tropics, mainly in agroforestry systems, to produce seeds, the valuable raw material for the chocolate industry. Thus, the conservation and use of cacao genetic resources in breeding programs to increase yield and improve quality and disease resistance are vital for the global cacao ...

Microbiome resilience of Amazonian forests: Agroforest divergence to bacteria and secondary forest succession convergence to fungi

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1314-1327, March 2023., 2023
In Amazon, secondary succession is the natural process to recover the ecosystem after burning the forest. It begins with the recovery of plant biomass and the increased importance of fungal communities in the soil. Agroforestry is a proposed alternative to fire, attempting to mimic the forest with benefits such as increased biodiversity, soil fertility,

Pest categorisation of Maconellicoccus hirsutus

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), the pink hibiscus mealybug, for the EU. M. hirsutus is native to Southern Asia and has established in many countries in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world.

Determination of thermophysical properties of cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) dry almonds

The Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences, 2021
In comparison to cocoa, little has been reported on the drying of cupuassu almonds that can be used to produce cupulate, a chocolate type product. Thus, in this study thermophysical properties of cupuassu dry almonds (moisture = 9.68 % d.b.) were determined as: thermal conductivity (k) of 0.14 kW/(m.K), specific heat (cp) of 2.86 kJ/(kg.K), thermal ...
