Origin, geographical dispersion, taxonomy and genetic diversity of Coffea canephora.
The coffee tree is an Eudicotyledoneae plant, class of Angiosperms, Rubiaceae Family and belonging to the genus Coffea (CARVALHO, 1946; BRIDSON, 1987), which has 124 species cataloged in the literature (DAVIS et al., 201 1 ). Of th ese, only Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora have signif?icant economic importance.The other species, such as Coffealiberica, Coffea racemosa, Coffea dewevrei, Coffea eugenoides, Coffea congensis, Coffea stenophylla, among others, have fundamental importance in genetic breeding programs. They are used in hybridization and transfer of genes and alleles responsible for desirable agronomic characteristics (mainly related to the drought tolerance and resistance to pests and diseases) for the two species commercially produced (CARVALHO, 1946; KRUG; CARVALHO, 1951 )...
