First whole genome sequence of a diploid crop wild relative of the Andean tuber “oca”: Annotation and comparative genomic analysis of Oxalis oulophora

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Oxalis oulophora, a diploid species closely related to the octoploid Andean tuber crop oca (Oxalis tuberosa), was selected for whole‐genome sequencing to aid in understanding the origins of polyploidy and domestication in oca and its relatives (crop wild relatives).

Integrative chromosome‐scale genome analysis of cupuassu provides insights into witches' broom disease resistance and expands genomic resources for Theobroma

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Amazon and increasingly relevant to regional bioeconomies. Its cultivation is severely affected by witches’ broom disease (WBD), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. While a chromosome‐scale genome of the susceptible genotype C1074 is available, the lack of a resistant ...

Phytophthora megakarya and Phytophthora palmivora, closely related causal agents of cacao black pod rot, underwent increases in genome sizes and gene numbers by different mechanisms [PDF]

, 2017
Phytophthora megakarya (Pmeg) and Phytophthora palmivora (Ppal) are closely related species causing cacao black pod rot. Although Ppal is a cosmopolitan pathogen, cacao is the only known host of economic importance for Pmeg.

Leaf Litter Decomposition in the Tropics Dynamically Recovers Following Experimental Disturbance Across Temporal Scales

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Litter decomposition by arthropods and microbes is a key ecosystem process in tropical forests, yet its response to disturbance and forest regeneration remains poorly understood. To investigate decomposition dynamics across forest succession, we conducted a space‐for‐time study in the Ecuadorian lowland Chocó spanning active cacao plantations and ...

MLO and SBP genes from Theobroma cacao are differencially expressed between resistent and suscetible cacao plants infected with Moniliophthora perniciosa [PDF]

, 2013
Among sequences previously identified as potentially envolved in the resistance versus susceptibility of Theobroma cacao to the fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, the MLO (Mildew resistance lócus O) and the SBP (selenium binding protein) genes were found.
