Wild or Introduced? Investigating the Genetic Landscape of Cacao Populations in South America
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Cacao populations span a continuum from wild to domesticated forms, shaped by complex patterns of human influence and selection. Using RAD‐sequencing, we show that native Upper Amazonian populations harbor the highest genetic diversity, while the Guiana group likely represents an isolated wild lineage and Amelonado shows clear signals of artificial ...

Genomic selection on cacao for disease resistance : S04T08 [PDF]
, 2013 Under favorable conditions, diseases can cause losses up to 100% in cacao. Breeding has been the most effective strategy in reducing these losses. However, breeding is limited by the: a) long generation time; b) large tree size (9 m2/tree); c) multiple ...

Refinement of the taxonomic structure of 16SrXI and 16SrXIV phytoplasmas of gramineous plants using multilocus sequence typing [PDF]
, 2016 Phytoplasmas that infect gramineous plants, including Napier grass stunt, sugarcane whiteleaf, sugarcane grassy shoot, and Bermuda grass whiteleaf, have been classified into two closely related groups, 16SrXI and 16SrXIV, based on the 16S ribosomal RNA ...
