Contribution of subgenomes to the transcriptome and their intertwined regulation in the allopolyploid Coffea arabica grown at contrasted temperatures.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized genome-wide homoeologous gene expression in Coffea arabica, a recent allopolyploid combining two subgenomes that derive from two closely related diploid species, and investigated its variation in response to changing environment.

TL;DR: This paper shows how mostly empirical research has led to successful industrial transfers launched in the 2000s in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and how a high-throughput screening of active molecules on SE appears to be a promising tool to speed-up the optimization of SE protocols.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that coffee trees, even selected for full sunlight conditions, remain shade plants possessing leaves able to adapt to higher light levels only when mature, and that coffee leaves, at the beginning of their development, are not equipped to withstand quick switches to higher lights.
Identification by the DArTseq method of the genetic origin of the Coffea canephora cultivated in Vietnam and Mexico.
TL;DR: The genetic characterization based on SNP markers of the varieties grown throughout the world, increased knowledge on the genetic diversity of C. canephora, and contributed to the understanding of the genetic background of varieties from very important coffee producers.

Frederic Georget,Lison Marie,Edgardo Alpizar,Philippe Courtel,Mélanie Bordeaux,Jose Martin Hidalgo,Pierre Marraccini,Jean-Christophe Breitler,Eveline Déchamp,Clément Poncon,Hervé Etienne,Benoît Bertrand +11 more
TL;DR: Starmaya represents the proof of concept for the mass propagation of Arabica F1 hybrid seeds using male sterility and is demonstrated that the establishment of seed garden under natural pollination is possible and produces a sufficient amount of hybrid seeds to be multiplied efficiently and economically.
