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 ... -
Agroforestry at work
(2024)This issue contextualizes agroforestry in four introductory articles in terms of economic viability and resilience, gender inclusiveness, interactions with climate change and biodiversity and barriers to adoption. We then ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
Cadmium concentration in cocoa beans produced in agroforestry systems of small producers in Panama
(CSIC, 2024-01-30)Aim of study: To calculate Cd concentration in cocoa plants and evaluate its relationship with available Cd and other soil properties. Area of study: Almirante, Bocas del Toro province, Panama, in 2020-2021. Material and ... -
Influence of Fermentation Time on the Chemical and Functional Composition of Different Cocoa Clones from Southern Colombia
(MDPI, 2023-11-16)Cocoa bean quality depends mainly on genetic material, edaphoclimatic factors and post-harvest processes such as fermentation. The impact of the fermentation process on the chemical and functional composition of different ... -
Multi-dimensional temperature sensitivity of protected tropical mountain rain forests
(Frontiers, 2024-01-09)Tropical mountain rain forests (TMRF, natural forests at > 300 m asl) are globally important for biodiversity and ecosystem services and are believed to be highly vulnerable to climate change. But there are no specific ... -
Shade canopy density variables in cocoa and coffee agroforestry systems
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-18)An estimated 3.4 million hectares of cocoa and 9.7 million hectares of coffee are cultivated, globally, under shade trees, i.e. in agroforestry systems. Shade canopies are characterized in terms of tree density (N, trees ... -
