Abstract excerpt
There is currently an international effort in improving disease resistance and crop yield in Theobroma cacao L., an economically important crop of the tropics, using marker-assisted selection for breeding. We are developing molecular genetic markers focusing upon gene families involved with disease resistance. One such family is the WRKY proteins, which are plant-specific transcriptional factors associated with...
