Single nucleotide polymorphisms from Theobroma cacao expressed sequence tags associated with witches' broom disease in cacao [PDF]
, 2009 In order to increase the efficiency of cacao tree resistance to witches¿ broom disease, which is caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa (Tricholomataceae), we looked for molecular markers that could help in the selection of resistant cacao genotypes.

Theobroma cacao: Somatic Embryogenesis
, 2022 AbstractA two-step process combining direct and indirect somatic embryogenesis, on solid and liquid medium, respectively is described forTheobroma cacao L.Staminodes and petals from unopened bud flowers are used to induce primary direct embryos. Then, these primary embryos are cut to produce embryogenic calli which will develop secondary embryos.

Starter Culture-Induced Fermentation Reveals Genotype-Driven Variability in the Composition and Quality of Brazilian Amazon Forastero Cocoa Beans. [PDF]
J Food SciABSTRACT Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a crop of major economic importance, with Brazil ranking sixth in global production and Pará leading national output. Bean quality is strongly influenced by genetic diversity and postharvest processing, particularly fermentation. To minimize batch heterogeneity, this study evaluated 18 Forastero genotypes from the
