Transgenic Coffee (Coffea Species)

  • Chapter
Transgenic Trees

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 44))

Abstract

The coffee crop is of great economic importance; cultivated coffee presently covers 11.6 × 106ha worldwide, and the production of green beans totaled 9.6 ×106tons in 1996. The genus Coffea is represented by more than 70 species and forms part of the large family of the Rubiaceae. Commercially, C arabica and C canephora are the main species harvested (Coste 1989). Coffee is one of the most important commodity products in international trade, the second after petroleum; but, in spite of the economic importance of the best-flavored species, Arabica (Coffea arabica L), relatively few breeding varieties (lines or hybrids) are cultivated. In contrast, the Robusta species (Coffea canephora Pierre), which has less desirable attributes, has a wide diversity of clones in cultivation.
