Coffee is one of the most important global crops and provides a livelihood to millions of
people living in developing countries. Coffee species have been described as being highly …

Since the 1990s, somatic embryogenesis (SE) has enabled the propagation of selected
varieties, Arabica F1 hybrid and Robusta clones, originating from the two cultivated coffee …

Water scarcity is the most significant factor limiting coffee production, although some
cultivars can still have important drought tolerance. This study analyzed leaf transcriptomes …

Abstract Coffea canephora (2n= 2x= 22 chromosomes) is a species with extensive genetic
diversity and desirable agronomic traits for coffee breeding programs. However, obtaining a …

Background Drought is a widespread limiting factor in coffee plants. It affects plant
development, fruit production, bean development and consequently beverage quality …

Humans have had a major influence on the dissemination of crops beyond their native
range, thereby offering new hybridization opportunities. Characterizing admixed genomes …

The role of abscisic acid (ABA) in drought tolerance of Coffea canephora is unknown. To
determine whether ABA is associated with drought tolerance and if the use of tolerant …

Increased synthesis of galactinol and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) has been
reported in vegetative tissues in response to a range of abiotic stresses. In this work, we …

Understanding vulnerabilities of plant populations to climate change could help preserve
their biodiversity and reveal new elite parents for future breeding programmes. To this end …

The aim of this study was to identify the correlation between photochemical efficiency and
candidate genes expression to elucidate the drought tolerance mechanisms in coffee …
