Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Theobroma cacao L., a tropical sciaphilous tree, exhibits cauliflory, with persistent flowering sites known as flower cushions. Cushions develop from floral buds located at the axils of leaves or cataphylls. They can sustain recurrent flowering and contribute to the fruit production of the tree throughout its lifespan. However, factors influencing their formation and flowering activity remain...
