QTL mapping and identification of corresponding genomic regions for black pod disease resistance to three <i>Phytophthora</i> species in <i>Theobroma cacao</i> L
2018-07-10
Abstract excerpt
The cacao tree ( Theobroma cacao L.) is a species of great importance because cacao beans are the raw material used in the production of chocolate. However, the economic success of cacao is largely limited by important diseases such as black pod, which is responsible for losses of up to 30-40% of the global cacao harvest. The discovery of resistance genes could extensively reduce these losses. Therefore, the aims...
