Chocolate under threat from old and new cacao diseases
Theobroma cacao, the source of chocolate, is affected by destructive diseases wherever it is
grown. Some diseases are endemic; however, as cacao was disseminated from the Amazon …

Meta-analysis of grain yield QTL identified during agricultural drought in grasses showed consensus
Background In the last few years, efforts have been made to identify large effect QTL for
grain yield under drought in rice. However, identification of most precise and consistent QTL …
