Incompatibility in Theobroma cacao [PDF]
Nature, 1958 Knight and Rogers1 postulated the existence of five incompatibility alleles, at a single locus, in the three self-incompatible but cross-compatible cacao genotypes studied by them. The five alleles differed in dominance, but two were equal; the same dominance sequence, S1 > = S2 > S3 > S4 > S5 was exhibited in both male and female parts of the flower ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 442-454, February 2026.ABSTRACT Black pod disease, caused by a complex of Phytophthora species, poses a severe threat to global cacao production. This study explores the use of CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing to reduce disease susceptibility in Theobroma cacao L. by targeting the TcNPR3 gene, a known negative regulator of plant defence.

Baseline Characteristics of Pristine Agricultural Pods Biochar
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT The valorization of agricultural pod wastes into biochar offers a sustainable pathway for waste management and the development of functional carbonaceous materials. This study comparatively evaluates biochars produced from cocoa, flamboyant, and locust bean pods using an autothermal top‐lit updraft gasifier with retort heating, a system ...

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Foliar endophytic fungi alter patterns of nitrogen uptake and distribution in Theobroma cacao.
New Phytologist, 2019 Colonization by foliar endophytic fungi can affect the expression of host plant defenses and other ecologically important traits. However, whether endophyte colonization affects the uptake or redistribution of resources within and among host plant ...
