A GWAS-machine learning framework reveals protein-synthesis pathway signals for yield in Theobroma cacao after population-structure correction.

Abstract excerpt

Improving cacao yield, a key objective in post-domestication crop improvement, remains a primary goal for breeders, but progress is often hindered by the confounding effects of population structure. To overcome this, we analyzed 346 diverse cacao accessions using an ML-based association mapping framework (with and without population structure adjustment) and a phenotype-only ML prediction of yield. By correcting...
