A Molecular Survey of the Occurrence of Coffee Berry Disease Resistant Coffee Cultivars Near the Wild Gene Pool of Arabica Coffee in Its Region of Origin in Southwest Ethiopia

Abstract excerpt

Cultivation of crops close to their wild relatives may jeopardise the integrity of wild genetic resources. Detecting cultivars among wild plants is necessary to characterise crop-wild gene flow, but can be challenging if cultivars and wild plants are phenotypically highly similar. Genomics tools can be used instead, but the selection of diagnostic loci for cultivar identification can be difficult if the wild and...
