Bartley, B.G.D text Wallingford CABI 2005 eng id xii, 340 p : ill. ; 26 cm D., Bartley, B.G. An understanding of genetic resources is an essential prerequisite for any breeding program. The cacao plant is a neotropical species that has a rich genetic diversity that exisits at two level: that of the area of original distribution of the species and that of the derived cultivated populations. This book provides a comprehensive review of our current knowledge of this subject. Starting with the foundations of genetic diversity of the amazonian and carribean regions, it describes how this has developed in cultivated populations, first in South America. It then describes the relationship between population and how the genetic resources can be utilize to produce new cultivars.
