Integrated phenotypic analysis, predictive modeling, and identification of novel trait-associated loci in a diverse Theobroma cacao collection

Abstract Background Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) breeding and improvement rely on understanding germplasm diversity and trait architecture. This study characterized a cacao collection (173 accessions) evaluated in Puerto Rico, examining phenotypic diversity, trait interrelationships, and performing co...
