Abstract excerpt
An in vitro protocol was developed to screen Coffea arabica genotypes for resistance to coffee berry disease caused by Colletotrichum kahawae. Initially, cultural conditions which influenced the growth of isolates of C. kahawae on agar media suitable for callus growth were determined. The growth of the fungus on the callus derived from susceptible and resistant genotypes was then assessed. This ensured that no det...
