Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic mapping of resistance factors to Phytophthora palmivora in cocoa.
Marie-Henriette Flament,Ismael S. Kébé,Didier Clément,Isabelle Pieretti,Ange-Marie Risterucci,Jeanne A.K. N'Goran,Christian Cilas,Denis Despréaux,Claire Lanaud +8 more
TL;DR: Stability and reliability of the experimental procedures are discussed and revealed the difficult use of these artificial tests on adult trees for a good prediction of field resistance to P. palmivora.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity of a leaf inoculation test to assess the resistance to Phytophthora megakarya in a cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) diallel mating design
TL;DR: There was a significant genetic correlation between pod rot rate in the field and leaf test data, so using this resistance test could shorten cocoa tree selection cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of Phytophthora megakarya in Central and West Africa revealed by isozyme and RAPD markers
Salomon Nyassé,Laurent Grivet,Ange-Marie Risterucci,Georges Blaha,Dominique Berry,Claire Lanaud,Denis Despréaux +6 more
TL;DR: The mating type determination permitted to confirm the high prevalence of A1 over A2, and clonal multiplication seems to be the rule, indices of other reproduction means have been detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated management of Phytophthora diseases on cocoa (Theobroma cacao L): Impact of plant breeding on pod rot incidence
Salomon Nyassé,Mousseni Ives Bruno Efombagn,Boubacar Ismaël Kébé,G.Mathias Tahi,Denis Despréaux,Christian Cilas +5 more
TL;DR: Heritability of mean disease scores obtained with the leaf disc test after several inoculation rounds is similar to the one of pod rot rate in the field after several years of observations, which indicates the greater the number of years of field observations, the higher the heritability of the pod rot resistance trait.
