Machine learning-driven GWAS uncovers novel candidate genes for resistance to frosty pod rot and witches' broom disease in cacao. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Cacao (Theobroma cacao), the source of chocolate, is threatened by devastating diseases like frosty pod rot (FPR) and witches' broom disease (WBD), impacting global production and farmer livelihoods. Here, we employ a machine learning‐driven genome‐wide association study to dissect the genetic architecture of disease resistance and ...
