Understanding the vegetative vigor of clonal genotypes under nursery conditions is essential for efficient seedling production and the development of new cultivars. This study aimed to evaluate the initial vegetative vigor of Coffea canephora genotypes cultivated in the Western Amazon. Twenty-one...

Knowledge of the genetic diversity and resistance genes of Coffea canephora genotypes is essential to identify genetic resources that are better adapted to current climate conditions. This study aimed to molecularly characterize and evaluate the genetic diversity of coffee plants cultivated ...

There is a need to develop efficient analytical methods to recognize the origins of coffee beans, especially from large producers such as Brazil, which offers high value-added Geographical Indication (GI) coffees. However, the challenge is not only the need for fast and clean techn...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are essential for identifying genomic regions associated with agronomic traits, but Linear Mixed Model (LMM)-based GWAS face challenges in capturing complex gene interactions. This study explores the potential of machine learning (ML) methodologies to enhance mar...

The application of marker-assisted selection in coffee breeding programs accelerates the identification and concentration of target alleles, being essential for developing cultivars resistant to multiple diseases. In this study, a population was developed from artificial crossings between Timor Hybrid ...

Developing new cultivars, particularly in perennial species like Coffea arabica, can be a time-consuming process. Employing molecular markers in genome-wide selection (GWS) for predicting genetic values offers an alternative to accelerate this process. However, implementing GWS typically involves genotypin...

The climate change and water deficit challenges plant producers all over the world, and have consequences to coffee production and quality. In this research we have approached anatomical traits from vegetative organs of 13 Coffea arabica genotypes, selected based on their contrasting be...

Recognizing the interrelationship among variables becomes critical in genetic breeding programs, where the goal is often to optimize selection for multiple traits. Conventional multi-trait models face challenges such as convergence issues, and they fail to account for cause-and-effect relationships. T...

The MGS Turmalina coffee cultivar is short in size, matures early, and is rust resistant. It has demonstrated a higher yield than the Catuaí Vermelho IAC 99 cultivar in different regions, standing out in environments with greater water deficit. The market value of MGS Turmalin...
