Theobroma cacao L. cultivar CCN 51: a comprehensive review on origin, genetics, sensory properties, production dynamics, and physiological aspects

Ramon E. Jaimez et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the origin, genetics, morphology, volatile compounds, and sensory characteristics of the CCN51 clone. It also discusses the physiological evidence, production dynamics, and floral biology that contribute to its high yield. Furthermore, it examines the impact of this clone on the cacao industry and its significance in flavor enhancement and cultivar improvement in breeding programs.

Variability and genetic determinants of cocoa aromas in trees native to South Ecuadorian Amazonia

Kelly Colonges et al.

Summary: Recent surveys on Amazonian cocoa trees have provided a unique opportunity to assess the potential for creating new aromatic cocoa varieties in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The study reveals the diversity and origins of aromas in Ecuadorian fine cocoa, which could enrich cocoa flavor programs and provide new income opportunities for Amazonian communities. Furthermore, the research suggests that aroma formation in cocoa may be linked to defense reactions to fermentation-induced biotic and abiotic stresses.

Prioritising crop wild relatives to enhance agricultural resilience in sub-Saharan Africa under climate change

David Satori et al.

Summary: Climate change is predicted to disproportionately affect sub-Saharan Africa, threatening smallholder agriculture and deepening food insecurity. Introducing more climate-resilient crops through breeding with crop wild relatives is crucial. Evaluation of 29 major crops' crop wild relatives, their traits, conservation status, and setting new priorities for their conservation and breeding programs is important in building agricultural resilience in a changing climate.
