Comparison of Canopy Openness in Different Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) Production Systems in Alto Beni, Bolivia [PDF]
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) grows naturally as an understory tree in tropical forests and produces well under shaded and non-shaded conditions. It is cultivated by small scale farmers in South America under various conditions, ranging from monocultures to

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]
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.

Incompatibility in Theobroma cacao [PDF]
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 ...

Decoding drought tolerance from a genomic approach in Castanea sativa Mill
Abstract Climate change, marked by prolonged periods of extreme summer drought coupled with heat, presents a significant challenge for chestnut forests. Genomic insight into drought tolerance in Castanea sativa is essential for enhancing the adaptation of this species to climate change.
