Journal ArticleDOI
The genome sequence of the most widely cultivated cacao type and its use to identify candidate genes regulating pod color
Juan Carlos Motamayor,Keithanne Mockaitis,Jeremy Schmutz,Niina Haiminen,Donald Livingstone,Omar E. Cornejo,Seth D. Findley,Ping Zheng,Filippo Utro,Stefan Royaert,Christopher A. Saski,Jerry Jenkins,Ram Podicheti,Meixia Zhao,Brian E. Scheffler,Joseph Conrad Stack,Frank Alex Feltus,Guiliana M Mustiga,Freddy Amores,W. Phillips,Jean-Philippe Marelli,Gregory D. May,Howard Shapiro,Jianxin Ma,Carlos Bustamante,Raymond J. Schnell,Dorrie Main,Don Gilbert,Laxmi Parida,David N. Kuhn +29 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A soybean G2 glycinin allergen. 1. Identification and characterization.
Ricki M. Helm,Gael Cockrell,Cathie Connaughton,Hugh A. Sampson,Gary A. Bannon,Vadim Beilinson,Donald Livingstone,Niels C. Nielsen,A.W. Burks +8 more
TL;DR: Each of the subunits from glycinin, the storage protein that is the most prevalent component of soybean, are major allergens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Characterization of the Cacao Cultivar CCN 51: Its Impact and Significance on Global Cacao Improvement and Production
Edward J. Boza,Juan Carlos Motamayor,Freddy Amores,Sergio Cedeño-Amador,Cecile L. Tondo,Donald Livingstone,Raymond J. Schnell,Osman A. Gutiérrez +7 more
TL;DR: Comparison of agronomic characteristics between 'CCN 51' and several Nacional cultivars indicates significant differences in cacao dry bean weight, yield potential, production efficiency, percent healthy pods, and witches' broom disease incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population genomic analyses of the chocolate tree, Theobroma cacao L., provide insights into its domestication process
Omar E. Cornejo,Omar E. Cornejo,Muh-Ching Yee,Victor Dominguez,Mary E. Andrews,Alexandra Sockell,Erika Strandberg,Donald Livingstone,Conrad Stack,Alberto Romero,Pathmanathan Umaharan,Stefan Royaert,Nilesh R. Tawari,Pauline Ng,Osman A. Gutiérrez,W. Phillips,Keithanne Mockaitis,Carlos Bustamante,Juan Carlos Motamayor +18 more
TL;DR: A genomic analysis of 200 cacao plants representing more than 10 genetically distinct populations identifies metabolic and disease resistance genes as contributing to the domestication of cacao and shows that domesticated populations maintain a high proportion of deleterious mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of single nucleotide polymorphism markers in Theobroma cacao and comparison to simple sequence repeat markers for genotyping of Cameroon clones
Donald Livingstone,Juan Carlos Motamayor,Raymond J. Schnell,Kathleen Cariaga,Barbie Freeman,Alan W. Meerow,J. Steven Brown,David N. Kuhn +7 more
TL;DR: SNP markers spread across multiple linkage groups may serve as a more cost-effective and reliable method for off-type identification, especially in cacao-producing countries where the equipment necessary for SSR analysis may not be available.
