Elucidation of genetic identity and population structure of cacao germplasm within an international cacao genebank
Theobroma cacao L., or cacao, is the source of cocoa products used in the making of chocolate. These tropical trees are conserved in living genebanks. The International Cocoa Genebank, Trinidad is one of the largest ex situ collections in the public domain. Mislabelling is a critical problem and the correction of this problem is vital to improve the accuracy and efficiency of genebank managemen...
متن کاملColombia a Source of Cacao Genetic Diversity As Revealed by the Population Structure Analysis of Germplasm Bank of Theobroma cacao L.
Beans of the species Theobroma cacao L., also known as cacao, are the raw material to produce chocolate. Colombian cacao has been classified as a fine flavor cacao that represents the 5% of cacao world's production. Colombian genetic resources from this species are conserved in ex situ and in-field germplasm banks, since T. cacao has recalcitrant seeds to desication and long-term storage. Curre...

متن کاملBiodiversity and biogeography of the cacao (Theobroma cacao) pathogen Moniliophthora roreri in tropical America
Moniliophthora roreri , the cause of moniliasis or frosty pod rot, occurs on the neotropical rainforest genera Theobroma and Herrania . While this basidiomycete has had devastating effects on the cacao tree ( T. cacao ) in tropical America, where it is confined, little is known of its biogeography and intraspecific genetic variability. Here, AFLP and ISSR profiles of 94 isolates of M. roreri fr...
متن کاملCultivating cacao: Implications of sun-grown cacao on local food security and environmental sustainability
The reasons why upland farmers on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi are engaged in a cacao boom and its long term implications are addressed in the context of protected area management regulations, and political and economic conditions in Post-Suharto, Indonesia. In the remote case study village of Moa in Central Sulawesi, we found that while few households cultivated cacao in the early 1990s, ...
