Coffee Selection and Breeding

  • Chapter
Coffee

Abstract

In spite of the tremendous genetic potential revealed by recent botanical and (cyto)genetic research into the genus Coffea (see Chapter 2), coffee breeding is still largely restricted to the two species, Coffea arabica and C. canephora, that dominate world coffee production.
