The shade and fertiliser requirements of cacao (Theobroma cacao) in Ghana

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1962
AbstractExperiments to examine the shade and nutrient requirements of cacaoIn this paper cacao applies to the tree and cacao to the dried, fermented beans are described and preliminary results are presented. A significant response to phosphate was obtained under shade when pests, diseases and weeds were controlled.

Contrasting Embryogenic Trajectories Reveal Spatial Control as a Key Determinant of Embryogenic Competence in Theobroma cacao L. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT Somatic embryogenesis (SE) in Theobroma cacao is a micropropagation technique of great importance but remains constrained by genotype recalcitrance. The cellular and molecular mechanisms distinguishing regenerative from non‐regenerative responses remain poorly understood.

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.
