The cacao gene atlas: a transcriptome developmental atlas reveals highly tissue-specific and dynamically-regulated gene networks in Theobroma cacao L. [PDF]
Theobroma cacao, the cocoa tree, is a tropical crop grown for its highly valuable cocoa solids and fat which are the basis of a 200-billion-dollar annual chocolate industry.

Transcriptomic analyses of cacao flavonoids produced in photobioreactors [PDF]
Background Theobroma cacao is a major source of flavonoids such as catechins and their monomers proanthocyanidins (PAs), widely studied for their potential benefits in cardiovascular diseases.

Characterization of a stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase gene family from chocolate tree, Theobroma cacao L. [PDF]
In plants, the conversion of stearoyl-ACP to oleoyol-ACP is catalyzed by a plastid-localized soluble stearoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) desaturase (SAD).

A combination of conserved and diverged responses underlies Theobroma cacao's defense response to Phytophthora palmivora. [PDF]
Plants have complex and dynamic immune systems that have evolved to resist pathogens. Humans have worked to enhance these defenses in crops through breeding.

Local gene duplications drive extensive NLR copy number variation across multiple genotypes of Theobroma cacao. [PDF]
Nucleotide-binding leucine rich repeat receptors (NLR) are an essential component of plant immunity. NLR evolution is complex and dynamic, with rapid expansions, contractions, and polymorphism.

Knockdown of FIBRILLIN4 gene expression in apple decreases plastoglobule plastoquinone content. [PDF]
Fibrillin4 (FBN4) is a protein component of plastoglobules, which are antioxidant-rich sub-compartments attached to the chloroplast thylakoid membranes. FBN4 is required for normal plant biotic and abiotic stress resistance, including bacterial pathogens,
