Respiration in the mature embryos of coffee
(Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA), 1977-04)
Se estudiaron el consumo de oxígeno (QO2) y el cociente respiratorio (RQ) en los embriones de 15 tipos de café. Los valores QO2 mostraron una relación inversa a sus pesos. Los valores RQ más altos que se registraron pueden ...

Interactions between climate, shade canopy characteristics and cocoa production in Colombia
(Frontiers, 2024-02-09)
Properly designed agroforestry systems (AFS) can generate optimal cocoa bean (BC) yields, produce co-products and provide ecosystem services. This study analyzes the interactions between climate, AFS structure and BC yield ...
Risk analysis and cacao pod survivorship curves to improve yield forecasting methods
(Frontiers, 2024-03-22)
Cocoa attainable yields are affected by a complex of pests and diseases in a particular agro-environment. Estimation of yield loss is critical for agronomic and economic decision-making at the farm level. For over 15 months, ...
A combination of conserved and diverged responses underlies Theobroma cacao’s defense response to Phytophthora palmivora
(BMC Biology, 2024)
Plants have complex and dynamic immune systems that have evolved to resist pathogens. Humans have worked to enhance these defenses in crops through breeding. However, many crops harbor only a fraction of the genetic diversity ...
