Abstract:Diseases ofTheobroma cacao disruptcocoa bean supply and have economic impacts to growers. Vascular streak dieback (VSD), caused byCeratobasidium theobromae, is a new encounter disease of cacao currently contained to southeast Asia and Melanesia. Resistance to VSD has been tested with large progeny trials in Sulawesi and Papua New Guinea with the identification of informative quantitative trait loci (QTL). Using a VSD susceptible progeny tree (clone 26), derived from a resistant and susceptible parental cross, … Show more
