Geographic distribution, conservation, and genomic resources of cacao Theobroma cacao L

2023-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The cacao tree, Theobroma cacao L., is cultivated in the tropics, mainly in agroforestry systems, to produce seeds, the valuable raw material for the chocolate industry. Thus, the conservation and use of cacao genetic resources in breeding programs to increase yield and improve quality and disease resistance are vital for the global cacao economy. We review three important topics of cacao genetics essential for su...
