Coffee breeding and related evolutionary aspects :
Information is reviewed on the following topics: (1) the early history of Coffea arabica dispersion, (2) the taxonomy and geographic distribution of the genus Coffea, (3) reproductive biology, (4) genetic relationships among Coffea species belonging to the sections and subsections Eucoffea, Pachycoffea, Mozambicoffea and Mascarocoffea, (5) the origin of C. arabica, (6) breeding methods, (7) breeding for resistance to diseases, including those caused by Hemileia vastatrix and Colletotrichum coffeanum [Glomerella cingulata], and for resistance to Perileucoptera coffeella, nematodes, drought and low temperature, (8) breeding for improved fruit ripening, plant architecture, photosynthetic efficiency and processing traits and (9) the potential of tissue culture in coffee breeding
