1 month agoNew Research Shows Promise for Stenophylla Breeding
Published Aug. 13 in the journal Frontiers in Genetics, the study offers insight into the genetic makeup of the species, providing potential pathways for breeders to develop commercially viable stenophylla cultivars that may have higher tolerance to heat while offering desirable characteristics in the cup. Building upon the pioneering work over the past seven years from researchers affiliated with UK's Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, the new study comes from the Sierra Leone Agricultural Research Institute (SLARI) with past funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
