This book intends to dimension the important role women play in the coffee sector. It is product of many people and institutions: a multidisciplinary network with women artists, film‐makers, photographers, researchers, agronomists, social scientists, domestic economists, biologists, historians, s...

Observar diferenças quanto às características do ciclo reprodutivo de diferentes variedades de cafeeiro em localidades com condições climáticas diferentes é útil para estimar sua adaptabilidade. Durante o ciclo reprodutivo 2016/2017 os períodos entre a abertura de floradas e as ocorrências d...

Vegetative propagation of arabica coffee plants selected by their agronomic value has been accomplished routinely in Brazil for scientific purposes, through somatic embryogenesis and rooting of stem cuttings. Somatic embryogenesis is the election method when a very high number of cloned plan...

The objective of the study was to use methodology of simultaneous optimization of multiple responses applied to an experimental design to determine the best combination of storage period and conditions for preservation of coffee beans. Coffea arabica L. fruits were harvested in the ...

New cultivars are released every year to meet market demands. However, in species with a narrow genetic base, such as Coffea arabica, the cultivars are closely related and phenotypically similar. This hinders the accurate discrimination of genotypes sing morphological descriptors in distinct...

Genome-wide SNP genotyping platforms aiming at high-throughput and high-precision genotyping constitute an essential tool to advance breeding by genomic prediction and gene discovery by GWAS. Recent advances in coffee genomics with the sequencing of the Coffea canephora reference genome, has prov...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of artificial neural networks in comparison with Bayesian generalized linear regression to predict leaf rust resistance in Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica). This study used 245 individuals of a F2 population derived from the self-fe...

Selecting superior genotypes is facilitated by marker-assisted selection (MAS), which is particularly suitable for transferring disease resistance alleles because it nullifies environmental effects and allows selection of resistant individuals in the absence of the pathogen or race, enabling preventive...
