A GWAS–machine learning framework reveals protein-synthesis pathway signals for yield in Theobroma cacao after population-structure correction

Scientific Reports
Improving cacao yield, a key objective in post-domestication crop improvement, remains a primary goal for breeders, but progress is often hindered by the confounding effects of population structure.

Lipid Metabolism and Actin Cytoskeleton Regulation Underlie Yield and Disease Resistance in Two Coffea canephora Breeding Populations

Plants
Distinct breeding populations of Coffea canephora often exhibit genetic divergence, yet the biological pathways underlying yield and leaf rust resistance in contrasting populations remain poorly understood.

Waste reduction and nutrient recovery during the co-composting of empty fruit bunches and palm oil mill effluent

Menara Perkebunan, 2019
Palm oil is the most consumed edible oil in the world. Roughly half of the production originates from Indonesia, where the expansion of the crop has been criticized from an environmental perspective.

A Draft Genome Resource for a Cacao Thread Blight Disease–Causing Strain of Paramarasmius palmivorus

PhytoFrontiers
Thread blight disease (TBD) is an emerging foliar disease on cacao (Theobroma cacao), the source of chocolate. Multiple species of pathogenic fungi in the Marasmiinae suborder of Agaricales are responsible for causing TBD in cacao.
