Coffee is deemed to be a high-risk crop in light of upcoming climate changes. Agroforestry
practices have been proposed as a nature-based strategy for coffee farmers to mitigate and …

Plant biotechnology can be used to conserve the germplasm of natural forests, and to
increase the productivity and sustainability of plantations. Both goals imply working with …

Conventional American cultivars of coffee are no longer adapted to global warming. Finding
highly productive and stable cultivars in different environments without neglecting quality …

Background Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is one of the most promising processes for large-
scale dissemination of elite varieties. However, for many plant species, optimizing SE …

Culture in temporary immersion systems (TIS) is a valuable tool for the semi-automation of
high frequency somatic embryogenesis of coffee. This system allows the intermittent …

Plant tissue culture has developed widely incorporated into biotechnology, the agricultural
systems being a key factor to support many pharmaceutical and industrial outcomes. Since …

Climate change (CC) is already impacting Arabica coffee cultivation in the intertropical zone.
To deal with this situation, it is no longer possible to manage this crop using industrial …

Plants have amazing regenerative properties with single somatic cells, or groups of cells
able to give rise to fully formed plants. One means of regeneration is somatic …

Coffee is a crop of global relevance. Indirect somatic embryogenesis has allowed plants of
different coffee genotypes to be massively regenerated. The culture medium composition …

So far, the main Arabica coffee breeding programmes in Latin America have focused on the
selection of varieties adapted to intensive full-sun farming systems. Meanwhile, little …
