TL;DR: A new classification of the cacao germplasm is proposed that will enhance its management and provide new insights into the diversification of Amazon species in general, with the pattern of differentiation of the populations studied supporting the palaeoarches hypothesis of species diversification.

TL;DR: Theobroma cacao L. cultivar Matina 1-6 belongs to the most cultivated cacao type and the availability of its genome sequence and methods for identifying genes responsible for important cacao traits will aid cacao researchers and breeders as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the genetic variation among 224 accessions (394 plants) maintained at the National Germplasm Repository (NGR) in Miami, Fla., and a set of 34 clones from the University of California South Coast Field Station (SCFS) located in Irvine, Calif.

TL;DR: A transcriptomic analysis of mango provides a mango transcriptome that will be very helpful to identify genes for expression studies in early and late flowering mangos during fruit ripening.

TL;DR: Microsatellite marker evidence suggests that as few as four Indian cultivars, and the land race known as 'Turpentine', were involved in the early cultivar selections of the Florida group, a unique set of cultivars selected under similar conditions offering production stability in a wide range of environments.
