One major problem with cacao crops is the variability of plantings obtained from seeds. This
has led to considering somatic embryogenesis (SE), a means of obtaining stable clones with …

This paper aims to establish efficient protocols for the in vitro propagation of different cocoa
genotypes (T. cacao), the potential of regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in the …

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) contains high levels of phenolic compounds with
pharmacologically interesting activities. Prior research has not sufficiently investigated …

Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) cultivation faces several acute problems that reduce its
productivity and competitiveness. Production inefficiency of seedlings for replanting remains …

The browning of plant tissue and organs is a major constraint in tissue culture of cocoa
(Theobroma cacao L.). This study aims to evaluate callogenic and embryogenic …

Introducción: A pesar de que T. cacao es una especie importante a nivel mundial por la
producción de cacao, es poco lo que se conoce sobre la micromorfología y estructura de las …

Climate change, coupled with insufficient and irregular rains, led to a decline in the
productivity of Ivorian cocoa production. The present study aimed to screen three cocoa …

The transition of promising technologies for the massive production of cacao trees from
research to commercial scale is often difficult and expensive. As a result, the timeframe …

Somatic embryos were induced from sliced unpollinated ovaries of cocoa. The influence of
genotypes and cold pre-treatment were studied on the induction of callus and haploid …

Theobroma cacao and T. bicolor are among the most important agricultural crops of the
Mexican tropics. Currently, in Mexico, the propagation of these crops is performed via seeds …
