Will help develop disease-resistant varieties adaptable to climate change Sequence also key to improving coffee quality Aromatic Geisha variety used for sequencing The first public genome sequence for ...

This week, we reported on new epigenetic findings in memory formation as well as a dramatic spike in micromobility-related head injuries, so there's a whole lot of head-related science on the front ...

Arabica coffee is a type of coffee plant (the scientific name is coffea arabica). In fact, 60% of the sweet, fragrant coffee we drink comes from the fruit of the arabica plant; the remaining 40% of ...

American Journal of Botany, Vol. 16, No. 3 (Mar., 1929), pp. 173-178 (7 pages) In the development of Coffea arabica L., buds of three different potentialities are formed: 1. Buds in the axils of the ...

Arabica and Robusta are the two main types of coffee beans. They look different, taste different, and grow in different ...

At the Center for Tropical Agricultural Research and Education (CATIE) in Turrialba, Costa Rica, you can touch the history of coffee — and also, if the optimists have their way, part of its future.

On a trip to Italy in the early '80s, I visited a roaster in Pavia, near Milan. I accepted the offer of an espresso, but declined sugar. My host was surprised. After one sip I understood his surprise, ...

The genetic modification of Coffea arabica fruits is an important tool for the investigation of physiological characteristics and functional validation of genes related to coffee bean quality traits.

DNA sequencing has confirmed that a lot of the coffee you drink is from one of the least genetically diverse crops in the world, making it particularly vulnerable to extinction. Arabica beans (Coffea ...

The President of the Republic of Liberia, H.E. Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has by Proclamation declared Wednesday, October 1, ...

Scientists say a "forgotten" coffee plant that can grow in warmer conditions could help future-proof the drink against climate change. They predict we could soon be sipping Stenophylla, a rare wild ...

The first public genome sequence for Coffea arabica, the species responsible for more than 70 percent of global coffee production, was released today (Jan. 13) by researchers at the University of ...
