Abstract excerpt
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was undertaken to unravel marker-trait associations (MTAs) between SNP markers and phenotypic traits. It involved a subset of 421 cacao accessions from the large and diverse collection conserved ex situ at the International Cocoa Genebank Trinidad. A Mixed Linear Model (MLM) in TASSEL was used for the GWAS and followed by confirmatory analyses using GAPIT FarmCPU. An average...
