    Abstract Since the 1990s, somatic embryogenesis (SE) has enabled the propagation of selected varieties, Arabica F1 hybrid and Robusta clones, originating from the two cultivated coffee species, Coffea arabica and C. canephora, respectively. This paper shows how mostly empirical research has led to successful industrial transfers launched in the 2000s in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Coffee SE can be considered as a model for other woody perennial crops for the following reasons: (i) a high biological efficiency has been demonstrated for propagated varieties at all developmental stages, and (ii) somaclonal variation is understood and mastered thanks to intensive research combining molecular markers and field observations. Coffee SE is also a useful model given the strong economic constraints that are specific to this species. In brief, SE faced five difficulties: (i) the high cost of SE derived plants compared to the cost of seedlings of conventional varieties, (ii) the logistic problems involved in reaching small-scale coffee growers, (iii) the need for certification, and (iv) the lack of solvency among small-scale producers. Nursery activities were professionalized by introducing varietal certification, quality control with regard to horticultural problems and somaclonal variation, and sanitary control for Xylella fastidiosa. In addition, different technology transfers were made to ensure worldwide dissemination of improved F1 Arabica hybrids and Robusta clones. Innovations have been decisive for successful scaling-up and reduction of production costs, such as the development of temporary immersion bioreactors for the mass production of pre germinated embryos, their direct sowing on horticultural soil, and their propagation of rejuvenated SE plants by rooted mini-cuttings. Today, SE is a powerful tool that is widely used in coffee for biotechnological applications including propagation and genetic transformation. Basic research has recently started taking advantage of optimized SE protocols. Based on omics methodologies, research aims to decipher the molecular events involved in the key developmental switches of coffee SE. In parallel, a high-throughput screening of active molecules on SE appears to be a promising tool to speed-up the optimization of SE protocols.

    Abstract Coffee somatic embryogenesis in liquid medium is a powerful alternative to other vegetative propagation techniques for mass propagation of selected Coffea canephora (Robusta) clones and F1 Coffea arabica hybrids. This review presents the different types of bioreactors used for coffee somatic embryogenesis by Nestlé R&D Centre-Tours and by other scientific teams. Mechanically agitated bioreactors were used for the production of torpedo-shaped embryos. Critical parameters are the inoculation density (0.5 to 1.0 g FW L-1), medium renewing and the initial oxygen transfer rate (KLa: 5 h-1). In this system, Robusta embryo concentrations range between 200,000 to 400,000 L-1 within 2 months. Maturation from the torpedo to the cotyledonary-stage embryos was achieved in various temporary immersion bioreactors (TIB): in 1-L RITA® system (up to 1,000 cotyledonary embryos per system), in 10-L glass bottles (up to 20,000) and in 10-L flexible disposable bags. The latter one, the so-called “Box-in-Bags”, insures a higher light transmittance to the biomass due to its horizontal design. At the end of the maturation phase, the somatic embryos are green and able to photosynthesize: these pregerminated embryos can be directly transplanted to the greenhouse to get fully germinated plantlets. More recently, a temporary root immersion bioreactor (TRI) has been described for the growth of individualized Arabusta plantlets in photoautautrophic conditions, i.e. in sugar-free medium with enriched CO2 and high light intensity. The pros and cons of these different bioreactors will be discussed considering how they can be integrated in a mass propagation process. We present a “state of the art” by describing a pilot scale process for the production of pregerminated Robusta embryos and some examples of diffusion of coffee selected genotypes. These last years, two major trends have been developed for industrial micropropagation: i) bulk-cultivation of small propagules in photomixotrophic conditions (with sugar) followed by their selection and transfer to the greenhouse for their conversion to plant, ii) production of singulated and fully developed plantlets in the laboratory under photoautotrophic conditions. Next development in coffee mass propagation by somatic embryogenesis will probably originate from the combination of these two approaches. The usage of the “micro-environment” method, combined with media releasing CO2, is well adapted for the ex vitro germination of coffee embryos. Particularly, this method can be a relevant alternative to the conventional one, consisting on insufflating CO2 in the culture rooms or in the greenhouses.

    Abstract The field practicability of previously described germplasm collecting methods for tropical woody species was tested on 11 Coffea robusta and 8 Theobroma cacao clones grown in Cameroon. Orthotropic shoots of both species were collected each month over a two years period in Cameroon. They were rapidly shipped to the laboratory in Belgium for disinfection and inoculation onto culture media. Bacterial and fungal contamination were respectively associated with nodal and meristem cultures of coffee and with nodal cultures of cocoa. A wide range of sterilants used at various concentrations, alone or in combination and several antibiotics and fungicides as medium additives were tested without success. Moreover, some antibiotics previously considered non-phytotoxic induced explant necrosis. Other attempts to control the severe contaminations by pretreatment in Cameroon of explants with surface sterilants and by inoculation on media containing antimicrobial agents before shipping failed. Partial control of contamination was eventually achieved by pretreatment of clonal material grown in a greenhouse. This last procedure allowed the clonal micropropagation program to start.

    Abstract Plants of Coffea arabica L. derived via somatic embryogenesis, namely, somaclones, were evaluated with C. arabica seedlings grown in the nursery. At the time of their transfer to the nursery, somaclones of C. arabica cvs. Caturra and Costa Rica 95 (Catimor) were smaller and less vigorous than seedlings of the same cultivars. Following an initial slow growth for a period of 10 weeks, somaclones began to grow faster than seedlings until both groups of plants were equal in size at 21 weeks (entire duration of growth in the nursery). Comparisons of aerial and root systems of 30-cm long somaclones and seedlings of two cultivars revealed that plants of somaclones were more vigorous than seedlings, based on the higher number of leaves (13–16 vs. 9), larger leaf area (1060–1280 vs. 730–890 cm2), and greater dry weight of aerial organs (8.5–12 vs. 7.0–7.5 g). For cv. Caturra, the root dry weight of somaclones was significantly greater than that of seedlings (2.7 vs. 1.9 g) and was attributable to the large diameter roots (>0.5 mm). Analysis of 176,000 F1 hybrid somaclones revealed that these exhibited more heterogeneous growth than did the seedlings derived from zygotic embryos; moreover, there was a genotype effect. Almost 9–20% of somaclones required an additional 3–4 months of growth in the nursery, and 8–12% were culled for other undesirable horticultural attributes. Only 0.10–0.23% of somaclones displayed variant phenotypes. The observed somaclone vigor in the nursery was carried over to field performance as these plants were more precocious than seedlings and yielded coffee beans 1 year earlier than seedlings.

    • Extracted Annotations (10/12/2021, 4:37:20 PM)

      "Seeds were sown in a straight line under 2 cm of horticultural soil applying the same growing conditions (type of substrate, planting density, fertilization, shade level, watering frequency) used for pre-germinated somatic embryos. Under these conditions, seedlings with one pair of leaves suitable for transfer to the nursery were obtained after 11 weeks." (p. 299)

      "Plantlets grown from seeds and somatic embryos were transferred to 1-l plastic bags (experimental conditions) or 0.3-l plugs (industrial conditions; Fig. 2d) on a substrate consisting of a peat-based growing medium (Pro-mix; Premier Tech, Riviere-du-Loup, QC, Canada) and coffee pulp (3/1, v/v) under conventional nursery conditions (Fig. 2c, f) until they reached the required size for planting in the field (approx. 30 cm; Fig. 2g)." (p. 299)

      "Upon transfer to the nursery, seedlings were clearly larger, with large cotyledons and a longer hypocotyl, and they seemed to be more vigorous than the somaclones." (p. 304)

      "These differences resulted from slower somaclone growth, longer development time for in vitro pre-germination (12 weeks), and slower plantlet conversion in the greenhouse (15-20 weeks). In contrast, seedlings were ready for transfer to the nursery after only 11 weeks." (p. 304)

      "Due to the impossibility of comparing somaclones and seedlings of the same age (days after germination) in the nursery, we conducted a morphological comparison of somaclones and seedlings of the same size (30 cm)" (p. 305)

      "Even though our method has been improved by selecting pre-germinated embryos in bioreactors and by optimizing acclimatization conditions, we found that heterogeneity between somaclones was still greater than that between seedlings in the industrial nursery setting." (p. 306)

      "As previously reported, this heterogeneity in somaclone development at the nursery level resulted directly from the morphological heterogeneity of somatic embryos produced in bioreactors (Barry-Etienne et al. 2002a)." (p. 306)

      "Somaclonal variation is still a serious bottleneck in various well-developed somatic embryogenesis systems." (p. 306)

      "We previously estimated (Etienne and Bertrand 2001) a 2.1% frequency of morphological variants at the field level in coffee trees regenerated from 6-month-old embryogenic suspensions. Nevertheless, with the improved method reported here, we found only 0.1-0.2% of our sample of 176,421 somaclones in an industrial nursery were somaclonal variants." (p. 306)

      "80% of morphological variants can be detected at the nursery stage, thereby allowing the elimination of unsatisfactory plants and reducing one problem associated with the commercial production of coffee somaclones." (p. 307)

      "The percentage of unsatisfactory plants due to undesirable horticultural attributes is higher with somaclones (around 8-12.5%), but not prohibitive using the technology developed here." (p. 307)

      "It is commonly found in the field that hybrid clones flower after 9-11 months, whereas plants grown from seedlings flower after 21-23 months." (p. 307)

      "We have previously suggested that somaclones are less juvenile than plants derived from seeds. We also found this to be the case in this study, based on the more rapid and more vigorous development of somaclones during the later nursery stages." (p. 307)

    Abstract Micropropagation of Coffea arabica cvs. Oudayni, Hammady and Dawaeiry from Yemen were initiated from seeds. Seeds were surface sterilized and inoculated into media supplemented with different salt strengths and germinated under dark. Seeds germinated on agar medium gave high hypocotyl length, high root length and full cotyledonary leaves expansion after 120 days of culture. Proliferation of these cultivars was experimented on MS media supplemented with different levels (0.0, 2.0, 4.0. 6.0 or 8.0 mg l ) of 1 N6-Benzyladenine (BA), Thidiazuron (TDZ), 6-furfurylaminopurine (Kinetin), 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2- butenylamino) purine (Zeatin) or 6-( , -Dimethylallylamino) purine (2ip). Highest proliferation for all cultivars was obtained when BA was used at the highest level (8.0 mg l ). Satisfactory proliferation rate in the three 1 cultivars was achieved at 8.0 mg l kinetin and 6.0 mg l TDZ. Zeatin and 2ip were both failed to promote 11 proliferation at any used level. Rooting was experimented on half-strength MS media supplemented with different levels (0.0, 2.0, or 3.0 mg l ) of indole-3- butyric acid (IBA), indole-3- acetic acid (IAA) or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Highest root number and length was achieved at 3.0 mg l 1 IAA or IBA for all cultivars. Rooted plantlets were transferred to 1 peat: 1 perlite mixture and ex vitro acclimatization gave 100% survival.

    Abstract The objective was to set up a pilot scale process for robusta (Coffea canephora) industrial propagation by somatic embryogenesis in liquid media. A batch production of pre-germinated embryos was initiated once every 2 mo. in 2003 and 2004, then every mo. in 2005. Each run batch requires 4 to 6 mo. to produce the pre-germinated somatic embryos and consists of three phases: (1) the development of torpedo stage embryos in Erlenmeyer flasks, (2) pre-germination in temporary immersion bioreactors to allow maturation from the torpedo stage to the cotyledonary stage, (3) maintaining the embryos under storage conditions before their shipment to coffee producing countries. Starting from 1 kg of embryogenic calluses, a total of 4.4 million pre-germinated embryos for 17 clones were produced over 3 yr. This embryo number was enough to potentially regenerate 2 million plants, as the global embryo-to-plantlet conversion rate was estimated to 46% after acclimatization and complete germination in the greenhouse. At the end of April 2006, 600,000 somatic seedlings were transferred into plastic bags in nurseries or were already planted in the fields, mainly in Thailand. The current capacity allows the production of 2.5 million embryos per year, equivalent to a potential of about 1.0 million plantlets. The technical package has recently been transferred to National Institutes in Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam.

    Abstract Batian is a true breeding commercial coffee variety that was released in Kenya in 2010. It is resistant to coffee berry disease and coffee leaf rust which are the main coffee diseases in Kenya. Coupled with early ripening, good beverage quality and high yields, demand for planting material has surpassed supply. Conventional propagation methods do not provide enough planting materials, hence the need to develop alternative methods. The objective of this study was to develop an effective in vitro protocol for propagating the coffee variety, Batian. Leaf explants were harvested and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with different concentrations of cytokinins benzyl amino purine (BAP) and thidiazuron (TDZ) separately, 100 mg/l myo-inositol 3% sucrose and gelled with 0.3% gelrite. The results show differences among cytokinins levels in induction of somatic embryos. BAP at 13.3 µM gave the highest mean of embryos per explants, 6.06 ± 1.18 and highest percentage of embryogenic cultures of 58.33%. Development of somatic embryos was achieved on hormone free MS media with highest mean length of 0.32 ± 0.03 mm. Indole butyric acid at 9.8 µM was best for induction of a well-developed root system with a mean length of 1.22 ± 0.09 mm. This protocol opens new prospects for massive propagation of Batian in nine months.

    Abstract The effect of germination conditions on the morphology of Coffea arabica L. somatic embryos mass-produced in a 1-l temporary immersion bioreactor (RITA®) was studied with emphasis on direct sowing in soil. Using germinated embryos, direct sowing resulted in a highly successful conversion of embryos into plants. A culture density above 1600 embryos per 1-l bioreactor positively affected embryo morphology by causing higher embryonic axis elongation (+4-5 mm). At this density, the addition of a high concentration of sucrose (234 mM) 2 weeks before sowing promoted an increase in effective plant conversion in soil (78%) and a vigorous vegetative growth of the resulting plants. Furthermore, direct sowing reduced handling time to 13% and shelving area requirements to 6.3% of the values obtained by conventional acclimatization of plants developed on gel media.

    Abstract Genetic engineering of Robusta coffee resistant to fungal diseases might be done by introducing a chitinase-encoding gene into genome of this plant. This research was aimed to confirm transgenic plant of BP 308 clone Robusta coffee transformed by chi gene and to evaluate its ability for the somatic embryogenesis. Confirmation of transgenic was carried out by analysis the presence of NPTII gene as a selectable marker for Canamysin resistant using PCR technique. The somatic embryo initiation and reproduction were evaluated in 11 plant accessions. Three kinds of sucrose concentration, 20%, 30% and 40% were applied in initiation stage of somatic embryo germination. The suitability of 4 medium, namely M1 (without addition by liquid medium), M2 (addition by liquid medium contained 0.25 mg/l kinetin), M3 (addition by liquid medium contained 0.25 mg/l IAA) and M4 (addition by liquid medium contained 0.25 mg/l GA3 ) was evaluated for somatic embryo maturation. The result showed that 8 out of 10 plant accessions tested were transgenic and they could be propagated through somatic embryogenesis. The ability of transgenic plant for somatic embryo initiation, reproduction and regeneration were similar with that of nontransgenic one. Germination of somatic embryo could be improved by using 40% sucrose. Maturation of somatic embryo could be improved by addition of fresh liquid medium on the ancient gelled medium that used for somatic embryos reproduction. The best result was obtained on addition of fresh medium contained 0.25 mg/l GA 3 in which 65% of the somatic embryos developed to pre-germinate somatic embryo. Key words: Coffea canephora, transgenic plant, somatic embryogenesis.

    Abstract The extended BBCH (BBCH = Biologische Bundesantalt, Bundessortenamt and CHemische Industrie, Germany) scale and its associated decimal code were used to describe the growth stages of the coffee plant. Principal growth stages included germination and vegetative propagation, leaf development on the shoot of the young plant and branches of the tree, formation of branches, branch elongation, inflorescence and flower development, flowering, development of fruit, ripening of fruit and seed, and senescence. Secondary stages were also identified for each of the principal stages. Through a two digit decimal code, it is possible to identify the principal growth stages and their respective secondary stages.

    Abstract Most reliable and efficient protocol for Coffea arabica L. of Sigararutang variety plant regeneration was established using embryoid as an early explant from the induction of embryogenic callus phase. A completely randomized designs with 5 replications was designed to accomplish 20 protocols of embryo germina-tion methods with different steps of subculture, size of embryo and germination medium. The embryogenic calluses from the flush leave explant were induced embryoid on a half-strength MS medium fortified with a half-strength combina-tion vitamin of 1.8 mg/L nicotinic acid, 10.1 mg/L thiamin HCl and 3.1 mg/L pyri-doxine, 50 mg/L myo inositol, 33 mg/L L.cistein, 1 mg/L Kinetin, 0.1 mg/L NAA, 20 gr/L sucrose, 2.4 gr/L gelrite and pH 5.5.The result showed that Protocol 17 was the most effective, with 59,2% of rooted cotyledons, 4.04 cm of length of roots, 1.68 cm of length of hypocotyl, 20.8% of opened cotyledons and 100% of cotyledonary embryo at the end of 8 weeks which used the B medium, large embryos and twice phase of subculture from liquid medium to solid medium. The Protocol 17 is stable protocol from low to high value. Protocol 8 is the steady protocol from high to low value. Protocols 17 and 8 are the highest and lowest ranking, respectively, for each parameter. Protocol 17 is the most suitable for the germination embryo somatic

    Abstract The most important commercial species of coffee, Coffea arabica, which produces 73% of the world's coffee crop and almost all of the coffee in Latin America, is the only tetraploid (allotetraploid, 2n=4x=44) species known in the genus. High-frequency somatic embryogenesis, plant regeneration and plant recovery were achieved from leaf explants of a mature, elite plant of C. arabica cv. Cauvery (S-4347) using a two-step culture method. To assess the genetic integrity of the nuclear, mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes among the hardened regenerants, we employed multiple DNA markers (RFLP, RAPD, ISSR) for sampling various regions of the genome. Although the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of the mother plant and five ramets derived from the mother ortet were similar in organization, this was not so in the somatic embryo-derived plants where both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes changed in different, characteristic ways and produced novel genome organizations. A total of 480 genetic loci, based on the data obtained from a total of 16 nuclear, mitochondrial and chloroplast gene probes, in combination with nine restriction enzyme digests, 38 RAPD and 17 SSR primers, were scored in 27 somatic embryo-derived plants and the single control. Among these, 44 loci were observed to be polymorphic. A relatively low level of polymorphism (4.36%) was found in the nuclear genome, while polymorphism in the mitochondrial genome (41%) was much higher. No polymorphism was detected in the chloroplast genome. The polymorphism in the mitochondrial genome was found in only 4 plants. Such selective polymorphism was not true for the nuclear genome. Thus, this in-depth and comprehensive study demonstrates, for the first time, the presence of subtle genetic variability and novel genome organizations in the commercially well-established somatic embryogenesis-derived plants of this important coffee species.

    Abstract The aim of this study is to optimize in vitro multiplication of Coffea arabica cvs 'Benan',' Burai',' Odayni' and 'Odayni- Bayat'. Seeds germinated on modified quarter MS medium with 1.0 g l−1 activated charcoal gave the highest germination percentage of the four cultivars under study. BA at 8.0 mgl-1 was the most effective concentration with an average of 14 shoots per explant, resulting in better and morphologically superior microshoots in 'Benan' cv. However 'Burai' ,'Odayni' and 'Odayni- Bayat' cultivars, showed the highest number of shoots when they were grown on MS medium supplemented with BA at 4.0, 2.0 and 6.0 mgl-1 respectively. Root formation was 100% in response to the application of IAA, IBA and /or NAA to the culture media for the four cultivars. Half MS supplemented with NAA at 2.0, 1.0 and 3.0 mgl-1 was found to be a suitable medium for root induction in excised micro-shoots, of 'Odayni', 'Burai' and 'Odayni-Bayat' cultivars, respectively. The plantlets were successfully acclimatized in the greenhouse; consequently the survived plants reached 100%.

    Abstract Varietal improvement of Coffea arabica is moving, in many countries, towards the production and selection of vigorous, productive hybrids, giving a quality product and possessing genes for resistance to the main diseases and pests. To assess these heterozygous structures in full scale and propagate them on a large scale, CIRAD has developed a method of mass propagation by somatic embryogenesis based on the use of temporary immersion bioreactors and direct sowing of embryos ex vitro. This process has been used successfully in three different situations: i) breeding stock of the nematode tolerant 'Nemaya' rootstock variety in Central America; ii) propagation of selected hybrids in Central America and Tanzania. 50,000 plants - seed fields and multi-local assessment trial network - have been established in five Central American countries. 200,000 plants resulting from this process are to be planted in Central America and Tanzania. These productions made it possible to optimize the different phases of the process and to assess on a large scale the genetic conformity of the regenerated material. (Author's summary)

    Abstract Híbrido de Timor” (HT) is a natural interspecific hybrid of Coffea arabica L. with Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner that has played a substantial role in breeding programs as source of resistance genes. The original HT plant is represented by the anorthoploid accession ‘CIFC 4106’, an allotriploid plant with 3x=33 chromosomes and 2C=2.10 pg. From this HT plant, other accessions have been obtained and used in crossings with C. arabica to provide resistant plants to the main pathogens. However, each HT accession and their derivates show a particular karyotype due to irregular anaphasic disjunction, which results in a few reproductive cells with an unbalanced number of chromosomes. Regarding this fact and the crop relevance of HT, this study aimed to develop a direct somatic embryogenesis system for the clonal propagation of this germplasm, using the first HT plant as explant donor. To accomplish this purpose, disinfested leaf explants of greenhouse-cultivated HT ‘CIFC 4106’ plants were inoculated in medium supplied with 0.001 g L−1 6-benzylaminopurine. Somatic embryogenesis process was asynchronous, with distinct developmental stages occurring simultaneously. Besides, emergence of secondary embryos from primary ones was observed. Mature embryos were germinated, and well-rooted embryos were selected for plantlet regeneration. The nuclear DNA content and the karyotype showed that allotriploidy was conserved in all regenerated plantlets. Considering these results, the direct somatic embryogenesis protocol adopted in the present work was imperative for the accurate clonal propagation of HT, being relevant for multiplication and conservation of elite accessions that show an irregular meiosis.

    Abstract A study was carried out to determine whether or not Fusarium xylarioides (= Gibberella xylarioides) could be transmitted by infested seed of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre). Seeds were collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic plants from various robusta coffee growing districts in Uganda and from experimental fields at the Coffee Research Institute (CORI), based at Kituza in Mukono district. A total of 43 seed samples from 13 districts were collected between 2000 and 2003. To test for presence of the wilt pathogen, the seeds were separated into two groups. The first group of seeds were surface sterilised and the second group were not sterilised. Both seed categories were plated on blotter, agar plates or planted in sterile sand beds. Fungi detected on seeds plated on blotter and agar plates, from both sterilised and unsterilised seeds were Fusarium stilboides, F. lateritium, Aspergillus ochraceous, A. niger, A. flavus, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and other unidentified fungi. F. xylarioides was not detected by either blotter or agar plate methods. Seed germination varied between 30 – 50% for seeds from wilted trees compared to 76 – 85% for seeds from healthy trees. Although plants from diseased mother trees remained stunted no wilt pathogen was recovered from them 3 years from planting. All tests were negative for the coffee wilt pathogen, indicating that F. xylarioides is not seed transmitted and that the rapid spread of the disease throughout the robusta districts cannot be attributed to the use of seeds for propagation.

    Abstract Coffee is the second most valuable commodity exported by developing countries, and supports the livelihood of more than 75 million people. There are limitations to preference for established cultivars due to the autogamous nature of the crop thereby making improvements via conventional breeding of many years to produce a new cultivar difficult. Mutation breeding can overcome these obstacles. One of the first steps in mutation breeding is to determine radio-sensitivity so that optimal irradiation treatments can be determined. Three cultivars: Kents, Mundo novo and Geisha were sourced from the coffee germplasm collection at the Mambilla Plateau substation of the institute, Taraba State, Nigeria. The biological effect of the physical was studied in the selected cultivars of Coffea arabica after the rooted seedlings were treated with various doses of Gamma rays: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 Gy. Success takes percentage and seedling vigour were used as measures of radio-sensitivity at 4 weeks after settings (WAS), 8, 12, and 16 WAS. The results showed that genotype of the cultivars and dosage of irradiation significantly influenced response to irradiation treatments (p < 0.05). The effect of the irradiation on treated cultivars was inversely proportional to the emergence of the success takes, plant height, root length, number of roots and number of leaves. The optimal mutation treatment (LD50) of M1V1 cuttings was in the range of 12 Gy in all the treated Arabica varieties an indication to buttress the narrow genetic base with reference to the similarity of their evolutionary trends. This work provides data on dose treatments for mutation induction in coffee, which may be exploited for coffee improvement.

    Abstract There are various factors that interfere with seed germination. In this research the effect of light, gibberellins and paclobutrazol in coffee seed germination were evaluated. Seeds of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) from cultivar Rubi harvested at the developmental stage known as cherry were dried until 12% of water content. The first trial was performed in factorial design (2x2), the condtions being two (light and dark), presence and absence of gibberellins. The substrate was imbibed with 20 ml of GA3 (100 mM) and the control treatment with distillated water. The second trial was performed in factorial design (4x2x3), with four concentrations of paclobutrazol (0; 0,1;1,0; and 10 mM), two conditions (light and dark) and three storage conditions (0, 4 and 8 months). The substrate was imbibed with 20 mL of paclobutrazol and the control treatment with distillated water. Both trials were performed in four replications of fifty seeds. Seed sowing was performed in gerbox tray with two blotting papers and one germitest paper. The dark condition was created by wrapping the gerbox with an aluminum foil. The germiantion velocity rate, germination at thirty days and the time to 50% root protrusion were evaluated. The gibberellin treatment in seed coffee decreases the germination velocity rate and percentage of germination. The gibberellin inhibitor decreases the gemination velocity rate but it did not reduce the effect of light. High values of germination velocity rate were observed in dark.

    Notes:

    • Silva et al. (2005) and Válio (1976) observed that coffee seeds germinate faster in absence of light. The inhibitory effect of light occurs because it increases the synthesis of gibberellins, and consequently, the production of the enzyme endo-b- mananse. The production of excess mannose, derived from the hydrolysis of reserve hemicelluloses by endo-b-mannanase, probably contributes to the stoppage of germination.

      The research was carried out at the Laboratory of Department of Agriculture Seed Analysis of the Federal University of Lavras, MG. Were used seeds of Coffea arabica L., cultivar Ruby, from the experimental area of improvement of the UFLA coffee tree. the fruits were hand-picked at the cherry stadium, pulped in manual pulper and demucilated by natural fermentation in water for 24 hours in room temperature. Then the seeds were washed and dried in the shade, on paper multifoliate.

      The water content was monitored until the seeds reach 12% humidity. the seeds were stored in paper containers and placed in a cold and dry room (10°C and 60% RH) for 8 months.

      Test I: Gibberellin and light in the germination of
      coffee seeds.
      Sowing was carried out in acrylic boxes gerbox type, with seeds without parchment, over two sheets of blotting paper and under one sheet of germitest paper, moistened with 20 mL of solution of GA3 (100M). The substrate of the witness was moistened with distilled water. the imbibition of seeds was made in light or dark conditions, with gerbox wrapped in aluminum foil. Each gerbox was wrapped in a polyethylene bag, to keep moisture, and placed in a germinator at 30°C.

      Assay II: endogenous gibberellins in germination of coffee seeds.

      Sowing was carried out in gerbox, as described above. The substrate was moistened with 20 ml of the synthesis blocker solution of gibberellin, paclobutrazol.

      Regardless of the light, there was no difference between germination speeds of seeds soaked with water. On the other hand, to the seeds soaked with gibberellin solution 100 µM, the absence of light favored a higher index of germination speed.

      Thus, although the protrusion in the dark has occurred with greater speed, the number of seedlings normals was lower at the end of the test.

      When the seeds were soaked in water, regardless of the environment, was observed a percentage of 91% of germination, against 48% those soaked in GA solution 100 µM.

      According to these authors, this fact occurred due to the increase in the activity of enzymes such as cellulase, provided by acid Gibberellic, which, in this case, acted degrading the cell wall of the embryo.

      As concentration increased of the gibberellin synthesis blocker, it was observed the increase in the number of days needed for 50% of the seeds germinated (Figure 1).

      Similar results were also observed in the germination speed index, that is, there was a reduction as the concentration of paclobutrazol was increased (Figure 1).

      After four months of storage, there was behavior similar to the results obtained before storage, that is, in the dark, there was higher germination speed and shorter time for obtaining 50% germination.

      Paclobutrazol does not reduce the effect of light on germination speed.

    Abstract Coffea liberica is a variety of coffee that tolerant to marginal land, especially peatlands. One of propagation methods in C. liberica is somatic embryogenesis(SE) which producing large number of true-to-type plant seedlings in a short time. This research aimed at studying the effect of application of plant growthregulator (PGR) on quality and weight of somatic embryo of C. liberica. Somatic embryo in development stage was induced by Murashige and Skoog medium containing cytokinin as benzyl amino purin (BAP) and auxin as 2,4-dichlorophe-noxyacetic acid (2,4-D). While cotyledonary embryo in germination stage was induced by Murashige and Skoog medium containing cytokinin (BAP) and auxins as 2,4-D, indole acetic acid (IAA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The resultsshowed that the application of auxins and cytokinins on development stage affected the formation of embryos, texture of calli, color of calli and embryos, and weight of somatic embryo. It also influenced the shoot and root formation, color and weight of geminating embryos of C. liberica at the germinating stage. During the development stage, addition of 1 mg/L BAP in the absence of 2,4-D in MS medium produced the highest quality of somatic embryo of C. liberica. This medium also produced heaviest somatic embryos but with lighter callus. While in germination stage, all medium treatments produced a typical germinating embryo. Coffea liberica germinating embryo growth optimally on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L BAP as a single chemical or 0.5 mg/L BAP in combination with 0.5 mg/L IAA for shooting development. Whereas on rooting development, addition of 0.5 mg/L NAA on MS medium produced an optimal germinating embryo. Moreover, germination embryo of C. liberica recorded the highest in terms of dry weight on MS media with addition of 0.5 mg/L BAP. Application of appropriate concentration of auxin and cytokinin is needed to support the formation of somatic embryo and germinating embryo.

    Conference Name Somatic Embryogenesis of Trees
    Abstract Of ail the possible micropropagation techniques, it is widely accepted that vegetative propagation by somatic embryogenesis is by far the most promising for rapid, large-scale dissemination of elite individuals. Yet, to date, examples of somatic embryogenesis processes applied on an industrial scale are very few and far between. There are many complications. They usually involve a major genotypic effect, particularly for obtaining embryogenic tissues, or are related to the quality of regenerated somatic embryos, the incidence of somaclonal variation and, more generally, a lack of reproducibility and efficiency at certain stages of the process, leading to production costs that are prohibitive. Research on coffee somatic embryogenesis began at the end of the 1970s at various institutes, including CIRAD. Between 1995 and 2001, CIRAD moved the technique forward from a research laboratory scale to a technique enabling industrial dissemination of extremely promising Coffea arabica F1 hybrids. Over that period, two technological innovations made technology transfer economically feasible: mass production of somatic embryos in temporary immersion bioreactors and the possibility of sowing them directly in the nursery. At the same time, reassuring data were obtained on the genetic conformity of regenerated plants (somaclonal variation frequency &lt; 3%). In 2002, in partnership with the ECOM group, CIRAD decided to transfer the somatic embryogenesis method on an industrial scale to Central America so that four Arabica hybrid clones, that were selected for agroforestry-based farming systems, could be disseminated throughout that part of the world. This article describes the different stages and the difficulties we had to overcome before successful technology transfer could occur in 2010. . It describes one of the first examples of somatic embryogenesis technology applied on a commercial scale.

    Abstract Somatic embryos of Daucus carota L. and Coffea canephora L. (var. Robusta) were dehydrated under a 43 % relative humidity then placed in the hopper of a precision seeding system used in the transplant industry. The seeder was adjusted to distribute the embryos onto horticultural trays, each one containing 240 cells filled with soil. As a preliminary result, 72 % and 88 % of the individual cells received a single embryo, in Daucus and Coffea respectively. The embryo-to-plantlet conversion rate was not affected either by the vibration of the hopper or by the nozzles. In carrot 66 % of the embryos germinated after the use of the seeding system (62% germination for the control). Sorting methods traditionally used for the seeds (e.g. air column, vibrating table) can also be used. Such an approach, based on desiccation as a key step, has the potential for a complete automation of the large-scale handling and delivery of somatic embryos.

    Abstract Somatic embryos were developed from in vitro‐grown leaf discs of Coffea arabusta in modified Murashige and Skoog medium under 30 µmol m–2 s–1 photosynthetic photon flux (PPF). Cotyledonary stage embryos were selected from the 14‐week‐old cultures and were placed under a high (100 µmol m–2 s–1) PPF for 14 d. These pretreated embryos were grown photoautotrophically in three different types of culture systems: Magenta vessel; RITA‐bioreactor (modified to improve air exchange); and a specially designed temporary root zone immersion bioreactor system (TRI‐bioreactor) with forced ventilation. The aims of the study were to achieve large‐scale embryo‐to‐plantlet conversion, and to optimize growth of plantlets under photoautotrophic conditions. The plantlet conversion percentage was highest (84 %) in the TRI‐bioreactor and lowest in the modified RITA‐bioreactor (20 %). Growth and survival of converted plantlets following 45 d of photoautotrophic culture in each of the three culture systems were studied. Fresh and dry masses of leaves and roots of plantlets developed in the TRI‐bioreactor were significantly greater than those of plantlets developed in the modified RITA‐bioreactor or Magenta vessel. The net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll fluorescence and chlorophyll contents were also highest in plantlets grown in the TRI‐bioreactor. Normal stomata were observed in leaves of plantlets grown in the TRI‐bioreactor, whereas they could be abnormal in plantlets from the modified RITA‐bioreactor. Survival of the plants after transfer from culture followed a similar pattern and was highest in the group grown in the TRI‐bioreactor, followed by plants grown in the modified RITA‐bioreactor and Magenta vessel. In addition, ex vitro growth of plants transferred from the TRI‐bioreactor was faster than that of plants from the other culture systems.

    Abstract In most Coffea arabica growing areas of Ethiopia, A. gummifera, C. africana and M. ferruginea are among the commonly used shade trees. The role of these species on germination of C. arabica seed has been little studied. This study assessed the impacts of these tree species’ leaf litter on C. arabica seed germination. The leaf litter was collected from mature standing and naturally growing plants, air dried and ground. Seed from C. arabica plant was collected and prepared. The ground leaf litter of each species was uniformly mixed with nursery bed soil in proportion of 50, 100 and 200 g m-2. Complete random block design with three replications were applied. Hundred undamaged seeds were randomly chosen and sown in uniform spacing within each plot (1 m-2). Rate of seed germination was recorded after 60, 90 and 120 days from the sowing date. Variations were analyzed using LSD method for one way ANOVA at alpha 0.05. The result showed that after 60 days of sowing, a significantly higher germination was observed in Ag2, Ag3, Ca1, Mf2 and Mf3 compared to the control. After 90 and 120 days of sowing, no significant variation was observed between control and treatments. From the results, it was concluded that leaf litter of the studied tree species stimulate germination of C. arabica seed in field condition, however, the level is not linearly related with germination rate. In situations where early, uniform and high germination rates are required, leaf litter of these species, preferably: Ag1, Ag3, Ca1, Mf2 and Mf3, can be used.

    Notes:

    • The donor plants' leaf litter was collected from mature and naturally growing plants within the college compound. The leaves were air dried and ground in the Wondo Genet College of Forestry and Natural Resources laboratory.

      Finally, the ground leaf litter was uniformly mixed with soil

      Seeds of Coffea arabica were sown the same day the leaf litter was mixed with the nursery bed soil, which occured in May 2011. One hundred undamaged seeds were randomly chosen from the collected seeds and sown using uniform spacing within each plot (1 m-2 areas). The plot was mulched with dried grass (common nursery mulch) in sufficient thickness.

      In this phase [60 days from sowing], none of the treatments has less germination than the control.

      The variation between control and treatments with various level of leaf litter of three agroforestry species was insignificant [at 90 days from sowing].

      no significant variation was observed between control and the various levels of incorporated leaf litter from the three agroforestry species under consideration [at 120 days from sowing].

    Abstract The experiment was carried out in the open at the Escuela Técnica Robinsoniana Aragua de Maturin, located in the capital of Piar municipality Monagas State in order to evaluate the effect of different coffee seed scarification treatments on germination and formation of match seedlings. Selected coffee seeds of variety Catuai Red from Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agrícolas were used. Washed river sand was used as a substrate, it was disinfected with boiling water and put in garden type trays 12 x 40 x 15 cm. The three treatments with mechanical scarification were without water immersion and immersion for 24 and 48 hours, all six treatments employing chemical stratification with battery acid (Copper®) and muriatic acid (Opin®) for 10, 20 and 30 minutes of immersion; moreover, two treatments with immersion in water for 24 and 48 hours and the control treatment was the used one for coffee producer (without scarification and immersion). The experimental design was a randomized complete block with 12 treatments and four replications. The experimental unit consisted of 50 seeds. Evaluations were carried out at 25, 30, 40 and 50 days after sowing (DAS). Treatments where coffee seeds were subjected to mechanical scarification and water immersion for 24 and 48 hours showed the highest values of germination and formation of match seedlings, in which, it was found that over 60% of germination occurred at 25 days and formation of match seedlings occurred at 30 DAS. Chemical scarification treatments using commercial products with muriatic acid and battery acid did not have any advantage in relation to the control.

    Notes:

    • however, the seeds coffee lacks a latency period, although the presence of the endocarp delays germination.

      Seeds with endocarp present germinate between the 50 and 75 days, being that its removal accelerates the germination in 20 days (Valio, 1980).

      The fact that coffee beans have a very long germination period has caused that many coffee growers justify the purchase of seedlings to local nurserymen

      Coffee seeds ( Coffea arabica ) var. "Red Catuaí", from the National Institute of Agricultural Research, Local Experimental Station Caripe (INIA-Caripe), intended for commercialization as seeds selected.

       Washed sand was used as substrate river that previously underwent disinfection with hot water at 100 ºC. The seeds were buried the day after heat treatment of the substrate and were placed 1 cm deep. Irrigation is carried out on an interday basis.

      The experimental unit consisted of 50 seeds, buried in 12 x 40 x 15 cm plastic planters, for a total of 48, which were kept under the open sky.

       The seeds were physically scarified using a commonly used metal grater for the homemade grating (cheese, carrot, bread, etc.) These treatments consisted of submerging the seeds in water without removing the parchment or endocarp for a time of 24 and 48 hours, they were then buried for evaluation.

      In this trial the seeds were scarified by immersion in battery acid (sulfuric acid 20%) and muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid 10%) for 10, 20 and 30 minutes.

      Concluded the periods of immersion in each of the acids, the seeds were washed in running, potable water, for five minutes, under laboratory conditions, with the aim of removing residues from them and later they dried in the shade and were buried.

      The seed was buried in the substrate without removing the parchment or endocarp and without immersion in water (Amaya, et al. , 1988; Medina et al. , 1987) or acid and without mechanical scarification

      Mechanical scarification treatments with immersion in water for 24 and 48 hours presented the highest percentage of germination in all evaluation times (25, 30, 40 and 50 days later of buried seeds) (Table 3), followed by the mechanical scarification without immersion in water, which presented higher germination percentages to the rest of the treatments.

      The treatments of immersion in water, battery acid and muriatic acid showed germination percentages similar to control at all evaluation times (Table 3).

      And immersion in water for 24 and 48 hours (INM-WATER / 24h and INM-WATER / 48h) did not show differences between them, which suggests that the action of the acid was not effective enough for the removal of endocarp.

      Valio (1980) indicated that the presence endocarp drastically inhibits germination of coffee beans.

      In this regard, Fontanibe (1987) reported that the parchment does not influence the imbibition of water, but possibly constitutes a barrier to diffusion of oxygen, causing a delay and a decrease in total germination and that the most high germination percentages were associated to total scarification treatments of the parchment with electric scarifier and 60% atmosphere oxygen, while mechanical scarification with the Bentall pulper effectively removed the parchment from the seed, but causes damage to the embryo and immersing the seeds in boiling water affected the embryo causing total loss of germination.

      Treatments where coffee seeds are subjected to mechanical scarification plus immersion in water for 24 and 48 hours had the highest germination values ​​and phosphorite formation. Sixty percent of germination occurred at 25 days and phosphorite formation occurred at 30 days of buried the seeds.

      Chemical scarification treatments using commercial acid products muriatic (Opin®) and battery (Copper®) no They offered advantages over the witness.

    Abstract Somatic embryogenesis (SE) provides a useful model to study embryo development in plants. In contrast to zygotic embryogenesis, SE can easily be observed, the culture conditions can be controlled, and large quantities of embryos can be easily obtained. In Coffea spp several model systems have been reported for in vitro SE induction. SE for coffee was first reported in Coffea canephora. Several systems have been developed since then, including SE from callus cultures derived from leaf explants; a two-phase experimental protocol for SE from leaves of Coffea arabica; and from leaf explants of Arabusta or C. arabica using a medium with cytokinins. Here we report a protocol using young leaves from in vitro seedling pre-conditioned with growth regulators. This is a simplified method to obtain a faster and more efficient protocol to produce direct somatic embryos in C. canephora.

    Abstract The total of three consecutive years of fruit production was evaluated in six coffee cultivars (Coffea arabica L.) propagated by seed and grafted onto Robusta (Coffea canephora var. Robusta). The plantations were established at 640 m, 920 m, and 1340 m altitude in the central region of the Veracruz State, Mexico. The coffea plants were established in soils naturally infested with nematodes. Grafted plants had higher production than those propagated by seed. Fruit production was higher at 640 m and 920 m than at 1340 m for the two types of propagation. The cultivars Colombia Brote Café and Colombia Brote Verde had the highest fruit yield regardless of the propagation methods; in contrast, Pacamara, had the lowest. The grafted coffee plants that were planted at 1340 m had a yield reduction of 27% in comparison with those at 640 and 920 m. When the Costa Rica 95 variety was grafted, it achieved fruit yield similar to Colombia Brote Verde and Colombia Brote Café. Pacamara produced almost 28% more fruit when it was grafted onto Robusta.

    Abstract Embryogenic suspensions that involve extensive cell division are risky in respect to genome and epigenome instability. Elevated frequencies of somaclonal variation in embryogenic suspension-derived plants were reported in many species, including coffee. This problem could be overcome by using culture conditions that allow moderate cell proliferation. In view of true-to-type large-scale propagation of C. arabica hybrids, suspension protocols based on low 2,4-D concentrations and short proliferation periods were developed. As mechanisms leading to somaclonal variation are often complex, the phenotypic, genetic and epigenetic changes were jointly assessed so as to accurately evaluate the conformity of suspension-derived plants. The effects of embryogenic suspensions and secondary embryogenesis, used as proliferation systems, on the genetic conformity of somatic embryogenesis-derived plants (emblings) were assessed in two hybrids. When applied over a 6 month period, both systems ensured very low somaclonal variation rates, as observed through massive phenotypic observations in field plots (0.74% from 200 000 plant). Molecular AFLP and MSAP analyses performed on 145 three year-old emblings showed that polymorphism between mother plants and emblings was extremely low, i.e. ranges of 0–0.003% and 0.07–0.18% respectively, with no significant difference between the proliferation systems for the two hybrids. No embling was found to cumulate more than three methylation polymorphisms. No relation was established between the variant phenotype (27 variants studied) and a particular MSAP pattern. Chromosome counting showed that 7 of the 11 variant emblings analyzed were characterized by the loss of 1–3 chromosomes. This work showed that both embryogenic suspensions and secondary embryogenesis are reliable for true-to-type propagation of elite material. Molecular analyses revealed that genetic and epigenetic alterations are particularly limited during coffee somatic embryogenesis. The main change in most of the rare phenotypic variants was aneuploidy, indicating that mitotic aberrations play a major role in somaclonal variation in coffee.

    Abstract This experiment evaluated the response of 11 selected recalcitrant coffee ‘Ruiru 11’ sibs to plantlet regeneration through direct somatic embryogenesis. Third leaf pair explants from field-grown mother plants were harvested, sterilized and induced for up to 12 months in half-strength Murashige and Skoog basal salts medium supplemented with 1 ml/L thidiazuron, 0.2 g/L thiamine, 0.1 g/L nicotinic acid, 0.1 g/L pyridoxine, 20 g/L sucrose, 100 mg/L myo- inositol, 100 mg/L cysteine and 3 g/L gelrite. Embryos were sequentially transferred to media for shooting for 8 weeks, rooting for 6 weeks and weaning for 4 weeks. The explants were effectively sterilized using 30% sodium hypochlorite (3.85 v/v) for 20 minutes. The sibs showed significant (P<0.05) genotypic variation, with sibs 11, 41, 71 and 121 from ‘Catimor 86’and those from ‘Catimor 90, 128 and 134’ regenerating somatic embryos, whereas sibs 52 and 142 from ‘Catimor 88’ failing to do so. Sib 137 had the highest 63% embryogenic rate and 3.7 average embryos per explant. Sibs 71 and 137 embryos developed longest shoots, with 84% of sib 137 embryos developing shoots. Sibs 93 and 71 embryos developed longest roots, with 91% of sib 71 embryos developing roots. About 91% of sib 71 plantlets survived acclimatization. Sibs 137, 71 and 93 were classified as highly embryogenic, whereas sibs 52 and 142 were non-embryogenic. Sib 71 best responded to plantlet regeneration through direct somatic embryogenesis. Therefore, sib 71 plantlets should be used in future as stocks for mother plants for mass propagation of ‘Ruiru 11’.

    Abstract Breeding programs in Kenya have produced disease tolerant Coffea arabica varieties such as Ruiru 11 and Batian. Subsequently demand has surpassed supply. Existing propagation methods do not provide enough planting materials, hence the need to develop alternative methods of coffee propagation. The objective of this study was to develop an efficient In vitro regeneration protocol for coffee varieties Batian, Ruiru 11 and SL28 commercially grown in Kenya. Sterilization was carried out using different concentrations of Jik® (3.85 v/v sodium hypochlorite) for varied exposure times. A single step sterilization procedure was established using 28% for 25minutes and is recommended for further work. The effects of various auxins and cytokinins on the different In vitro regeneration stages of coffee were evaluated. The results showed significant differences among the different cytokinin and auxin levels for regeneration of the evaluated varieties. The best cytokinin level for induction of somatic embryogenesis was found to be 13.3µM Benzyl amino purine giving the highest mean number of somatic embryos across all selected varieties. Germination of somatic embryos was achieved on hormone free (control) Murashige and Skoog media and there were no significant differences amongst the evaluated levels of Benzyl amino purine. 2.5 µM NAA was best in induction of a well-developed root system for all the evaluated varieties with a mean length of 1.71±0.09mm for SL28 variety. The findings of this research work open an otherwise inadequately explored area for maximizing In vitro plantlet production in coffee that needs to be fully exploited.

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is primarily propagated by seedlings and produced directly from seeds. Effective Microorganisms (EM) has been used for the purpose of improving the germination of different crops. This study was initiated to assess the effect of EM on emergence and subsequent growth of coffee seedlings in different potting mix as a media for growth. The study was conducted in Jimma, Ethiopia from November 2011 until June 2012. The experimental units were laid out in a 5x3 factorial arrangement with Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The EM seed treatment had five levels of soaking h (3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 h and soaking in pure water for 72 h) while the potting mixes had three proportions of Forest Soil (FS) and EM Compost (EMC): (100% FS, 75% FS: 25% EMC and 50% FS: 50% EMC). The highest (76.47%) emergence was recorded from forest soil and EM compost mixture of 75:25 and seeds soaked in pure water for 72 h. Forest soil combined with a 4.5 h soaking of coffee seeds in EM solution resulted in the largest seedling height, number of primary branches and total dry matter. According to this study, EM solution may not be preferred than soaking in water as far as hastening of emergency is concerned. However, the use of forest soil as a pot media and soaking coffee seeds in EM solution for 4.5 h results in a relatively vigor coffee seedlings for transplanting.

    Abstract The conductivity test is used to measure the leaches from the seeds, which certaintily reflect the membrane system integrity. The test is rapid and it is of simple operation, but the methodology needs to be tested for each individual species in order to reach a better precision and accuracy. This work was conducted to determinate the partition point for the realization of electrical conductivity test in coffee seeds. Ten seed lots of Coffea arabica, cultivar Acaiá, without parchment, were used in this study. For the evaluation of the partition point, seeds were imbibed for 96 hours and submitted to the germination test, with the correlation between the conductivity values and those obtained in the germination test being evaluated. The partition point is 120,5µS.cm-1, considering 70% of germination.

    Notes:

    • Seeds that gave rise to normal seedlings have lower electrical conductivity values ​​and little variability.

      The dead seed class, by in turn, presented a high variability and values ​​of very high electrical conductivity (Figure 2).

      The high variability of the dead seed class is attributed to the presence of many seeds that, despite of dead, exhibited very high conductivity values. low and those seeds with conductivity values very high, as was to be expected.

      The vast majority of dead seeds that exhibited conductivity values lows was infected by fungi, and a minority had only the deteriorated embryo.

      The seeds were soaked for 96 hours, and the conductivity reading was performed by the SAD-9000-S Automatic Seed Analyzer, which provided the electrical conductivity values ​​of each seed and the lot value in S/cm.

      It should be remembered that the removal of the parchment must be done manually, as several authors warn that mechanical removal causes mechanical damage to the seed, and many times, damage that affected the embryo.

      Seeds with low conductivities and that originated abnormal seedlings were also found, probably due to fungal infection.

      Seeds that showed high conductivity they also gave rise to normal seedlings. this happened mainly in lots of the last harvest, that is, those with the highest physiological quality, and may have been attributed to the presence of mechanical damage to the seed, which did not affect the embryo.

      The electrical conductivity test, by the applied logistic model, using a 70% marketing probability, as in the conventional tests, accepts that batches from the 2002 harvest which have up to 120.5 S/cm of conductivity, in the general, can be marketed.

    Abstract The important advances in coffee biotechnological techniques which have been made particularly during the last 10yr could benefit the coffee breeder in practice and open new perspectives for the development of new varieties. The molecular phylogeny of Coffea species has been established using DNA sequence data. The molecular markers have revealed an extremely reduced genetic diversity in Coffea arabica L. in comparison to C. canephora. However, wild accessions collected in the Ethiopian highlands appeared to constitute a valuable gene reservoir. A complete genetic linkage map of C. canephora was reported and additional ones are being constructed, particularly on C. arabica. The integration of Molecular Assisted Selection in coffee breeding promises to drastically increase the efficiency of breeding programs. Economically important genes of the caffeine biosynthetic pathway or genes encoding for seed storage proteins have been isolated. The high performance already achieved in the in vitro propagation process by somatic embryogenesis offers the possibility to mass propagate superior hybrids in different countries of both C. arabica (selected F1 hybrids) and C. canephora (rootstock variety). Pilot productions by somatic embryogenesis currently permit preparation for commercial application. Somaclonal variation was observed. The percentage of the off-types can vary between 3 and 10% depending on the genotype. Seed cryopreservation enables a routine use for long-term conservation of coffee genetic resources. Transgenic plants have been obtained for the C. arabica and C. canephora cultivated species through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation which constitutes the technique now currently used to transfer directly genes in coffee plants.

    Abstract Indirect somatic embryogenesis (ISE) is required for plant propagation and a prerequisite for applications that may provide new germplasms. Genetic, epigenetic and physiological features of the explant donor are barriers for ISE establishment, hindering its wide use. Despite the identification and/or expression analysis of genes during ISE, no approach to establish the karyotype aspects has been performed so far. So, this study aims to establish the ISE and compare the in vitro responses between diploid (Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides), allotriploid (“Híbrido de Timor”—HT) and true allotetraploid (Coffea arabica) Coffea in a taxonomic and evolutive scenario. Under the same in vitro conditions, the four Coffea differed from each other during ISE. Leaf explants of the true allopolyploids yielded the highest mean number of friable calli (FC) in relative short time and visually exhibiting more pronounced length. FC of the allotetraploid C. arabica presented the highest mean number of mature cotyledonary somatic embryos (MCSE), which were also recovered faster in this species. However, MCSE mean number in HT was the same or lower than diploid Coffea. Besides, intraspecific variation related to the ISE responses was observed in each Coffea, mainly the mean number of FC obtained from ex vitro and in vitro C. arabica and C. eugenioides explants. So, epigenetic and physiologic features may also have influenced the ISE responses. The findings provide the basis for performing other approaches considering the ploidy level, epigenetic and physiological backgrounds. Besides, the data also contributed for understanding about the consequences of polyploidy.

    Abstract Clonal propagation of Coffea arabica L. can be achieved by induced somatic embryogenesis in vitro cultures of mature leaf explants. The protocol for obtaining perfect embryos bearing a bipolarity (shoot and root poles) consisted of a primary culture on a "conditioning medium" followed by culture on an "induction medium" as described by Söndahl and Sharp (1977). Afterwards we have used, instead of a solid medium, liquid media for further growth of these embryos. Experiments were conducted in order to see the effects of various plant growth regulators: benzylaminopurine (BAP); gibberellic acid (GA3); indole acetic acid (IAA) and naphtalene acetic acid (NAA) on the morphology of the derived plantlets. It was found that GA3 gives a good development of the hypocotyl but reduces cotyledonary leaves; BAP at optimal concentration (1.5 mg/l) gives a drastic increase of the cotyledonary area; IAA and NAA promote root development. In the selected medium (1.5 mg/l BAP; 1.0 mg/l GA3 and 1.0 mg/l IAA) plantlets grown under illumination at 25°C mimic normal seedlings. Only plantlets that have a good development of the cotyledonary leaves survive when transferred directly from the liquid media into the soil.

    Abstract Influence of micropropagation through somatic embryogenesis on somaclonal variation in coffee (Coffea arabica): assessment of variations at the phenotypical, cytological, genetic and epigenetic level Somaclonal variation (SV) is a major concern in all micropropagation systems. It is described as the phenotypic variation displayed in in vitro-derived regenerants and it is believed to be originated from a large array of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Highly productive Coffea arabica hybrids are clonally disseminated in Meso-American region through somatic embryogenesis (SE). The objective of the present work in coffee is to evaluate the trueness-to-type of SE and to understand the mechanisms involved in SV. We assessed the variations in the propagated plants at the phenotypic, cytogenetic, genetic (mutations/AFLP, genetic transposition/S-SAP) and epigenetic (methylation/MSAP) level by using two complementary approaches. First, with 2 hybrids we studied industrial culture conditions expected to be weakly mutagenic thanks to the combined use of short term proliferation period (6 months) and low auxin supply (0-1.4 µM 2,4-D). Two proliferation systems i.e. secondary embryogenesis and embryogenic suspensions were compared, the latter being more productive and economic. AFLP and MSAP molecular analyses on 145 somatic seedlings showed that genetic and epigenetic polymorphisms between mother plants and emblings were extremely low, i.e. ranges of 0–0.003% and 0.07–0.18% respectively, with no significant difference between the proliferation systems. For the two hybrids tested, massive phenotypic observations in nursery and field plots showed very low levels of SV (0.9% from 800,000 plants). Cytological analysis showed abnormal chromosome numbers (41-43, 45) in most of coffee somaclonal variants and normal numbers (44) in phenotypically normal plants. Stressful experimental conditions were also applied by using extended proliferation periods (4, 12 and 27 months) for three independent embryogenic lines established for the Caturra var. in presence of high growth regulator concentrations (4.5 μM 2,4-D, 17.8 μM 6-BA) to understand the mechanisms of culture ageing on SV. The proliferation time strongly affected the SV frequency among the 180 regenerated plants and in a highly similar way with the three embryogenic lines. No variant was found after 4 months proliferation although 30% and 94% phenotypic variants were observed in plants derived from 12 and 27 month-old cultures, respectively. Regardless the culture age and the embryogenic line, no polymorphisms were found in the 124 plants analyzed and very limited methylation changes with MSAP markers (0.049-0.087%). However, similarly to plants derived from industrial conditions, phenotypic variants systematically showed abnormal chromosome numbers and normal plants systematically showed normal numbers. This work showed that SE based on embryogenic suspensions is reliable for true-to-type propagation of selected C. arabica varieties. It also demonstrated the importance of culture age on SV and hence the non random nature of this phenomenon. The genetic and epigenetic alterations are particularly limited during SE. The main change in most of phenotypic variants was aneuploidy showing that mitotic aberrations play a major role in SV in coffee.

    Abstract Coffee seeds have slow and irregular germination, losing fast their viability during storage, and the standard germination test of these seeds requires at least 30 days. Besides, the results may not reflect the actual physiological quality of these seeds. The objective of this work was to develop a fast and practical test for evaluating the viability of coffee seeds, which is based on the interpretation of different color hues of exudates from seeds. Coffee seeds of the cultivar Catuai 44 from six lots were submitted to germination, accelerated aging, and electrical conductivity tests. In the exudates color hue test, coffee seeds without the parchment and the silvery pellicle (four replications of 10 seeds each) were distributed on top of paper towels moistened and then maintained into a germinator, at 25 ºC for 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h. Three classes of color hues were established: colorless, light color hue, and dark color hue, assigning the values of 0, 1, and 3, for each class, respectively. The proposed exudates color hue test can be recommended for the fast assessment of viability for coffee seeds. The most promising results were obtained for seeds with 12% moisture content, after imbibition periods of 72, 96, and 120 h; and with 30% moisture content, after imbibition periods of 72 and 120 h.

      "Six different seed lots of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) seeds, cv. "Catuaí 44", were used for the experiment." (p. 214)

      "four subsamples of 50 seeds each (without the parchment) were arranged on top of four sheets of paper towels moistened with sterile distilled H2O, in the proportion of 2.5 times the mass of the dry substrate." (p. 214)

      "The paper towel sheets were then turned into rolls, which were maintained into a seed germinator at 30 ºC (Brasil, 2009)." (p. 214)

      "eight subsamples of 50 seeds each were used. Each subsample was weighed on a 0.001 g precision scale and then placed into plastic cups containing 75 mL of distilled water which were afterwards maintained into a BOD incubator at 25 ºC for 24 h. The electrical conductivity was determined by a conductivimeter." (p. 214)

      "Those seeds were immersed in distilled H2O, for approximately 10 min., for the careful removal of the silvery pellicle with the aid of tweezers for not damaging the seed. Immediately after that procedure, the seeds were arranged (with the flat side in contact with two sheets of paper towels moistened with sterile distilled H2O, in the proportion of 2.5 times the mass of the dry substrate) and placed on top of aluminum mesh screens coupled to a gerbox containing 40 mL of sterile distilled H2O at the bottom. The gerbox were then lidded and placed into a germinator at 25 ºC, for 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h." (p. 214)

      "The moisture content of seeds from all the six lots of seeds varied from 11.8% to 12.3% (Table 1)." (p. 215)

      "It has to be emphasized, however, that the information obtained with the electric conductivity test for coffee seeds have been conflicting." (p. 215)

      "By analyzing the data obtained in the test of color hues of exudates it is noticeable that for all imbibition periods evaluated it is possible to sort the seed lots into different levels of physiological quality (Table 2)." (p. 215)

      "There is actually a negative correlation between the color hues of exudates from coffee seeds and their physiological quality; and the test of exudates color hues is promising for a fast evaluation of the viability of these seeds;" (p. 216)

      "2ration of the seed lots into levels of quality, however, there is still the need of further adjustments on the evaluation criteria." (p. 217)

    Abstract In coffee seeds there is a correlation between the germination test and the results of the tetrazolium test (TTZ), if the lots have high viability. In the range of about 30 to 70 percent germination, TTZ test results generally give higher values. The TTZ test of embryos extracted from seeds is clearer than if it is done on cut seeds, since in the first case the coloration is more uniform and the results are more reliable. In cut seeds there is a tendency for no color to develop on the cut surface of the embryo. Coloring is complete after 3-4 hours in a 1 percent TTZ solution. Robusta coffee embryos are more susceptible to mechanical damage than Arabica coffee. Techniques for its correct preparation are given.

    Abstract A highly reproducible method for regeneration of Coffea arabica and C. canephora plants via direct somatic embryogenesis from cultured leaf and stem segments of regenerated plants was developed. Embryogenesis was influenced by the presence of triacontanol (TRIA) in the medium. TRIA incorporated at 4.55 and 11.38 μM in half-strength MS basal medium containing 1.1 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA) and 2.28 μM indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) induced direct somatic embryogenesis in both species. A maximum of 260±31.8 and 59.2±12.8 somatic embryos per culture were induced from in vitro leaf explants of C. arabica and C. canephora, respectively. TRIA also induced embryo formation from in vitro stem segment callus tissues along with multiplication of primary embryos into secondary embryos. By using TRIA, it was possible to obtain somatic embryogenesis in C. arabica and C. canephora.

    Abstract The influence of polyamines, polyamine inhibitors and ethylene inhibitors were tested in Coffea canephora for in vitro morphogenetic response and caffeine biosynthesis. Coffea canephora produced non-embryogenic and embryogenic calli. Somatic embryos were produced only from the embryogenic callus. Endogenous polyamine pools were estimated in these tissues. Somatic embryos were subjected to secondary embryogenesis under the influence of putrescine, silver nitrate and specific inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis. Estimation of endogenous total polyamines revealed that embryogenic callus contained 11-fold more spermine and 3.3-fold higher spermidine when compared to non-embryogenic callus. Incorporation of polyamines resulted in 58% explant response for embryogenesis when compared to control with 42% response. Incorporation of silver nitrate resulted in 65% response for embryogenesis. Incorporation of polyamine biosynthetic pathway inhibitors DFMO and DFMA resulted in 83% reduction in embryogenic response with concomitant increase in caffeine levels by two-fold as compared to control. These results have clearly demonstrated that polyamines play a crucial role in embryogenesis and caffeine biosynthesis.

    Abstract We determined how age of embryogenic cell suspensions affects somaclonal variation in five F1 hybrids of Coffea arabica L. Batches of plants were produced either directly from embryogenic callus, or after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of embryogenic cell suspension culture. Seven phenotypic variants were characterized. Based on vigor and productivity of the regenerated plants, we classified the variants in order of increasing severity of physiological disorders as: Juvenile leaf color, Giant, Dwarf, Thick leaf (Bullata), Variegata, Angustifolia, and Multi-stem. The Dwarf, Angustifolia and Multi-stem variants were the most frequent among the regenerated plants (1.4, 4.8 and 2.9%, respectively). The frequency (f) of variants increased exponentially with the age (t) of the embryogenic suspension, in accordance with the function f = 0.99e0.267t. For all genotypes, somaclonal variation was low (1.3%) in plants produced from embryogenic callus or 3-month-old cell suspensions and increased in frequency with increasing suspension age (6, 10 and 25% in plants produced from cell suspensions aged 6, 9 and 12 months, respectively). Large differences in somaclonal variation among genotypes were found only in plants produced from 12-month-old cell suspensions. For two genotypes, the oldest suspensions produced a majority of somaclonal variants (80–90%), whereas somaclonal variation ranged between 8 and 18% in the other genotypes. Cell suspension age and genotype also affected the type of variant produced. The severity of somaclonal variations increased with cell suspension age. For all genotypes combined, the Angustifolia variant was the most common. The other somaclonal variations were specific to certain genotypes or distributed randomly among the genotypes.

    Abstract In general, coffee propagation still uses seeds, cuttings, grafting and shoot grafting. However, this method of propagation still has limitations in the amount of planting material. With somatic embryogenesis, it is possible to produce relatively uniform seedlings on a large scale and in a relatively short time. This study analyzed the effect of providing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4 D) and 6-furfuryl- aminopurine (kinetin) in the process of forming embryogenic callus and somatic embryos from var.lini-s 795 arabica coffee leaves. This research was conducted at the Tissue Culture Laboratory, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Hasanuddin University. The plant materiala used were var.lini-s 795 arabica coffee leaves. This study used 9 treatments and 1 control and used a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The parameters observed were the speed of the explants forming callus, the percentage of embryogenic callus, callus color, callus texture, callus wet weight, and the total of globules. The observation showed that all treatments were successful in forming callus except the control treatment. T he fastest treatment to produce callus was 2 ppm 2.4D and 2 ppm kinetin. The highest wet weight of callus was obtained in the treatment of 2.4 D 0.5 ppm and kinetin 0.5 ppm with a weight of 1.46 grams, the most embryogenic callus was obtained in treatment of 0.5 ppm 2.4 D and kinetin 0.5 ppm with a percentage 98% and the most somatic embryos in the form of golbular were obtained in the treatment of 0.5 ppm 2.4D and 2 ppm kinetin, which was 68.33.

    Abstract The problem that often faced in generative propagation is the slow germination of coffee seeds, which is thought to be caused by caffeine content. Efforts increase the germination coffee beans are the presence gibberellin and cytokinin soaking treatment prior to planting on seeds that have been shelled. This research was conducted at the screen house the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan from October 2019 to January 2020 using a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with two treatment factors: factor one, giving growth regulators consisting without the provision of growth regulators, 20 ppm gibberellins, 100 ppm cytokinins and 20 ppm gibberellins + 100 ppm cytokinins and a factor two, Soaking duration consisting of soaking for 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours. The results showed that giving 20 ppm gibberellin significantly accelerated the opening cotyledons, when the cotyledons were broken, the germination rate and the vigor index the germination of arabica coffee. Soaking duration treatment had no significant effect on all parameters of seed germination. The interaction growth regulators and soaking duration did not significantly affect all parameters

    Abstract The importance of the conservation of plant genetic resources is becoming higher at times when the consequences of global climate change are more acute. The coffee genus (Coffea spp) is not exempt from these risks, so it is researched some alternatives for its ex situ conservation. Specifically, the in vitro conservation methods known as 'slow growth' allow the medium-term preservation of plant material, by decreasing the growth rate and the frequency between subcultures. Studies are needed on the independent effect of variations in the concentration of essential macro and microelements in the medium-term preservation of coffee. The objective of the work was to determine the effect of the decrease of the mineral content of the culture medium in the response of in vitro coffee plants (Coffea arabica L.) preserved by a period between two and six months. The plants, previously obtained in vitro, were cultured in modified MS medium, with three treatments consisting in the reduction to 75, 50 and 25 % of their macro and microelements. The survival, the number of leaf pairs, the leaf abscission and the percentage of rooted plants were evaluated at two, four and six months. In the treatment of 50 % MS, the survival percentages varied between 85 and 100 %, and were obtained intermediate values of leaf pairs and leaf abscission, with respect to the rest of the treatments. In addition, the plants developed roots that allowed them to survive despite the lack of nutrients. With this treatment, which represents a saving of the half of the mineral components of the culture medium, it is considered feasible to preserve the coffee plants for a period up to six months.

    Abstract Coffee seeds have slow and asynchronic germination, which increases the time needed to obtain seedlings, and the expenses associated. A pregerminative treatment (PT) was defined which decreases the germination time in seeds of Coffea arabica L. var. Colombia and Coffea canephora P. var. Robusta. Five pregerminative treatments in water were applied to seeds without endocarp: T1) immersion for 24 hours; T2) scraping plus immersion for 24 hours; T3) immersion for one hour at 40 °C; T4) immersion for 48 hours; and T5) scraping plus immersion for 48 hours. Subsequently, they were sown in two substrates (sand and peat-moss). The treatments had three replicates with 25 seeds as experimental unit, organized into a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement. The variables evaluated were: days to start of germination (DIG), speed of emergence (VE), and percentage of emergence (PE). In Coffea arabica, the PT that decreased the germination period was T1, obtaining seedlings at 22 days, with greater vigor with a VE of 0.55 emerged seedlings per day, and increased PE to 59, 92, and 97% on days 30, 40, and 50, respectively. In Coffea canephora, T1 presented 0.40 VE and PE of 42% at 30 days and 73% at 50 days, while T2 increased PE at 40 and 50 days by 70 and 81%, respectively. The best substrate was sand, which decreased the germination period of Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora to 26 and 23 days, increased VE to 0.53 and 0.35 emerged seedlings per day, respectively, and had PE of more than 70% after 50 days in both species.

    Abstract Genome editing, which is an unprecedented technological breakthrough, has provided a valuable means of creating targeted mutations in plant genomes. In this study, we developed a genomic web tool to identify all gRNA target sequences in the coffee genome, along with potential off-targets. In all, 8,145,748 CRISPR guides were identified in the draft genome of Coffea canephora corresponding to 5,338,568 different sequences and, of these, 4,655,458 were single, and 514,591 were covering exons. The proof of concept was established by targeting the phytoene desaturase gene (CcPDS) using the Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation technique and somatic embryogenesis as the plant regeneration method. An analysis of the RNA-guided genome-editing events showed that 22.8% of the regenerated plants were heterozygous mutants and 7.6% were homozygous mutants. Mutation efficiency at the target site was estimated to be 30.4%. We demonstrated that genome editing by the CRISPR/Cas9 method is an efficient and reliable way of knocking out genes of agronomic interest in the coffee tree, opening up the way for coffee molecular breeding. Our results also showed that the use of somatic embryogenesis, as the method for regenerating genome-edited plants, could restrict the choice of targeted genes to those that are not essential to the embryo development and germination steps.

    Abstract Direct differentiation of shoot buds in Coffea dewevrei was evident from the seedling shoots with collar region and also from collar region end of hypocotyl segments in presence of 40 μM AgNO3, 8.88 μM of BA and 2.85 μM of IAA. Apart from this, shoot end of hypocotyl explants mainly supported yellow friable callus or somatic embryos. Subsequent transfer to the same medium induced secondary somatic embryogenesis. The collar region of the hypocotyl explants not only showed direct organogenesis by producing 1–3 shoots per explant and also able to produce globular somatic embryos and embryogenic yellow friable callus. Similarly direct somatic embryogenesis along with yellow friable embryogenic callus formation on 1/2 strength MS medium comprising 1.47 μM IAA, 2.22 μM BA and 40 μM AgNO3 was noticed from cut portion of in vitro leaf and stalk of regenerated plants. The microshoots rooted well upon subculturing onto the same medium in 6 weeks and showed 60 % survival in green house and resumed growth upon hardening.

    Abstract The influence of environment in the culture vessel is a factor that has very little study in the process of somatic embryogenesis. The present research was carried out with the objective to determine the effects of carbon dioxide on somatic embryogenesis of Coffea arabica cv. Caturra rojo. Embryogenic cell suspensions were cultured under different carbon dioxide concentrations (2.5%, 5.0%, and 10.0%) in the gases mixture and two control treatments, one with passive exchange and the other with forced ventilation. The results demonstrated that there were a larger number of somatic embryos formed with a concentration of 2.5% CO2. The differentiation of these somatic embryos of coffee in embryogenic cell suspensions (130 × 103 SE l−1) was also stimulated. The effects of CO2 on somatic embryogenesis were demonstrated when the control with passive exchange was compared with forced ventilation control, because in the former, where there was an accumulation of CO2, the production of somatic embryos was greater. CO2 could stimulate the formation and differentiation of somatic embryos directly, which led to a modification of the pH patterns of the culture medium or indirectly when producing changes in the pH that favored the somatic embryogenesis process.

    Abstract This study was conducted to compare the growth and yield of one of the commercial hybrid coffee cultivars (Coffea congensis x Coffea canephora) of robusta coffee established from somatic embryogenesis as well as conventional seedlings. Results indicated no statistically significant differences in the growth pattern or the cumulative yield between the somatic embryogenesis derived plants and the seedlings. The genetic fidelity of somatic embryogenesis derived plants and the mother plant was tested using sequence related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. A total of 24 SRAP primers were employed for DNA analysis which produced a total of 153 clear, distinct and reproducible amplicons of variable size. Out of 24 SRAP primers, 9 primers produced amplification patterns which are identical between the mother plants and plants derived from somatic embryogenesis. Cluster analysis revealed more than 95% genetic similarity between the somatic embryogenesis derived plants and the mother plants indicating a high degree of genetic fidelity. The present study clearly demonstrates the usefulness of SRAP markers in genetic fidelity analysis of coffee.

    Abstract The zygotic embryos of C. canephora (cv. S.274) were encapsulated in 2 percent sodium alginate with half strength MS salts containing 1 mg/litre of ABA (abscisic acid). These beads were preserved in dark under growth room condition. For comparing the viability of encapsulated embryos, seeds of the same mother plant were selected and packed in polythene bags and were stored under room temperature. To test the germination percentage and viability, preserved encapsulated embryos were cultured on half strengthMS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/litre of BAP (benzyladenine) at monthly intervals. Simultaneously, the seeds of the same mother plant were sown in soil. The preserved encapsulated zygotic embryos showed good germination up to 12 months and developed into plantlets after the fourth subculture at 35-45 days intervals on half strength MS medium with 0.1 mg/litre of kinetin. However, seeds of the same parent showed good germination only up to 4 months beyond which the germination decreased. After 7 monthsof storage, seeds lost their viability and none of them could germinate. The importance of the present results is discussed.

    Abstract We have studied the influence of low concentrations of 6-benzyladenine on growth limitation, in order to preserve coffee germplasm through a microcutting collection. Concentrations of 0 μM, 1.3 μM and 4.4 μM were compared in four species: Coffea congensis, C. canephora, C. liberica and C. racemosa. After six months, microcutting behaviour varied between the different treatments, and a species effect was observed. The slow growing species (C. liberica and C. congensis) needed 1.3 μM; the others coffee species (C. canephora and C. racemosa) exhibited moderate caulogenesis on 6-benzyladenine-free medium. Zero and low concentrations did not affect survival rates. In conclusion 1.3 μM seems most appropriate for conserving all four species.

    Abstract Coffee is a very important commodity in the world. It is a perennial plant and as a consequence its genetic improvement had been difficult. The biotechnology, in particular somatic embryogenesis (SE) has helped to the propagation of commercial coffee cultivars. Along almost 50 years, different research groups around the world have developed uncountable SE processes to produce an efficient, reproducible, and reliable SE process. Many of the factors that affect the embryogenic response have been studied. It has been demonstrated that the genetic modification of coffee is possible. This transformation can lead to the improvement of varieties with very attractive agronomic traits, such as low caffeine content, resistant to diseases and pests.

    Abstract Differential protein profiles of three stages of somatic embryogenesis, including globular, torpedo, and cotyledonary somatic embryos, of Coffea arabica cv. Catuaí Vermelho were analyzed in an attempt to better understand somatic embryogenesis in coffee plants. Somatic embryos at these different stages of development were collected from in vitro-grown cultures, and then macerated in liquid nitrogen. Proteins were extracted with phenol and further quantified using the Bradford method. The bidimensional electrophoresis analysis revealed a wide range of proteins ranging between 10 and 160 kDa and of pH values ranging from 3 to 10. Several differentially expressed proteins were identified by mass spectrometry, and some were found to be specific to these different stages of somatic embryogenesis in coffee. The enolase and 11S storage globulin proteins, for example, could be used as molecular markers for somatic embryo development stages and for embryogenic and non-embryogenic genotype differentiation, respectively.

    Abstract Coffea arabica L. plantlets obtained ex vitro after sowing somatic embryos produced in a bioreactor in horticultural substrate were compared with those obtained in vitro from the same embryo population under conventional culturing conditions on semi‐solid media. The intensity and quality of aerial and root system development were compared. Shoot emergence was more efficient in vitro but rooting frequencies were low. In contrast, all ex vitro‐regenerated embryos rooted. The cotyledon area of mature embryos produced in a bioreactor positively affected plantlet development when regeneration was carried out ex vitro. Embryos with an intermediate cotyledon area (0·86 cm2) had the highest rates of plant conversion ex vitro (63 %), and also resulted in vigorous plantlets. Mortality was higher in nursery conditions, but better plant development was obtained. The quality of plantlets produced under ex vitro conditions was reflected in better growth of the aerial and root systems, and also by similar morphological, mineral and water status characteristics to seedlings. Unlike roots formed on semi‐solid media, those produced in soil were branched, fine (30–50 % had a diameter of less than 0·5 mm) and they bore root hairs. Leaves of plantlets regenerated ex vitro had a histological structure similar to that of seedling leaves, and a lower stomatal density (100 vs. 233 mm–2). Moreover, they were more turgid, as indicated by higher pressure potential (ψP) (0·91 vs. 0·30 MPa) and relative water content values (97 vs. 93 %). Furthermore, under in vitro conditions, leaves had larger stomata which were abnormally round and raised. Direct sowing of germinated somatic embryos resulted in the rapid production of vigorous plantlets under ex vitro conditions, whilst removing the need for problematical and costly conventional acclimatization procedures.

    Abstract Direct somatic embryogenesis is favoured over indirect methods for the in vitro propagation of Coffea canephora, as the frequency of somaclonal variation is usually reduced. Ethylene action inhibitors improve the tissue culture response and thus silver nitrate (AgNO3) is used for direct somatic embryogenesis in coffee. It was observed that silver thiosulphate (STS) that is a more potent ethylene action inhibitor, induced a much robust response in C. canephora cotyledonary leaf explants with 7.49 ± 0.57 and 7.08 ± 0.12 embryos/explant at 60 and 80 µM AgNO3, respectively compared to 3.3 ± 0.18 embryos/explant at 40 µM AgNO3. Transient transformation indicated that STS improved the transformation potential of embryos by enhancing Agrobacterium tumefaciens adherence to surfaces. In vitro adherence assays demonstrated that the cell wall material from STS-derived embryos provide a better substratum for adherence of Agrobacterium. Furthermore, blocking this substratum with anti-mannan hybridoma supernatant negatively effects the adherence. The presence of galactose and mannose residues in the decomposed cellulose fraction of STS treated somatic embryos are indicative of de-branching and re-modelling of galactomannan in response to ethylene inhibition. Genes of mannan biosynthesis, degradation and de-branching enzyme were affected to different extents in embryos derived in AgNO3 and STS containing somatic embryogenesis medium. The results indicate that ethylene-mediated cell wall galactomannan remodelling is vital for improving the transgenic potential in coffee.

    Abstract The purpose of the study was to evaluate the possible genetic effect on vegetative propagation of Coffea canephora. Diversity for somatic embryogenesis (SE) ability was observed not only among two groups of C. canephora Pierre (Congolese and Guinean), but also within these different genetic groups. The results therefore showed that, under given experimental conditions, SE ability is depending on genotype. Furthermore the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling the SE and cutting abilities of C. canephora was performed on a large number of clones including accessions from a core collection, three parental clones and their segregating progenies. On the one hand we detected eight QTLs determining SE. Six positive QTLs for SE ability, whatever the criteria used to quantify this ability, were localized on one single chromosome region of the consensus genetic map. Two negative QTLs for SE ability (frequency of micro calli without somatic embryo) were detected on another linkage group. Deep analysis of the six QTLs detected for SE ability came to the conclusion that they can be assimilated to one single QTL explaining 8.6–12.2% of the observed variation. On the other hand, two QTLs for average length of roots and length of the longest sprouts of cuttings were detected in two linkage groups. These QTLs detected for cutting ability are explaining 12–27% of the observed variation. These observations led to conclude that SE and cutting abilities of C. canephora Pierre appeared to be genetic dependent but through independent mechanisms.

    Abstract No single conservation technique can adequately conserve the full range of genetic diversity of a target species or genepool. To optimize the efficiency of germplasm conservation, a range of conservation techniques needs to be applied simultaneously. In this paper we review the progress made in the application of both in situ and ex situ complementary conservation strategies and techniques to the conservation of the genus Coffea and identify areas where more research work is required. Traditionally, Coffea species have been conserved ex situ as living plants in field genebanks due to their intermediate seed storage behaviour. However, progress made in the field of biotechnology in recent years have made it possible to envisage the use of in vitro, slow growth and cryopreservation for medium- and long-term conservation of Coffea germplasm, respectively. In situ conservation is also an important option for long-term conservation, but there are no genetic reserves specifically set up for conserving Coffea. Protected areas and managed reserves offer the best opportunities for conserving Coffea. A case study for Mascarene Coffea in Mauritius is presented and a strategy for their conservation is discussed.

    Abstract Histocytological analysis carried out on leaf explants of Coffea arabica undergoing somatic embryogenesis revealed that, using a culture method involving a single Gelrite-containing semisolid medium, the entire region surrounding the edge of the plant-derived leaf explants showed the differentiation of organized structures with little or no callusing. Histological examination of embryogenesis without callus formation (direct somatic embryogenesis) revealed that at approximately 1 week after the explant had been placed in culture, the development of the embryo began in the form of a small, isodiametric, densely cytoplasmic cell that underwent a series of organized divisions. In embryogenesis from callus (indirect somatic embryogenesis), however, the embryogenic cell was observed within the first week. Our histological observations indicate that both direct and indirect somatic embryos of coffee that form on explanted leaf segments and callus, respectively, have a unicellular origin.

    Abstract The effect of germination conditions on the morphology of Coffea arabica L. somatic embryos mass-produced in a one-litre temporary immersion bioreactor (RITA7) was studied with emphasis on direct sowing in soil. Using germinated embryos, direct sowing resulted in a highly successful conversion of embryos into plants. Culture density above 1,600 embryos/11-bioreactor positively affected embryo morphology by causing higher embryonic axis elongation (+4-5mm). At this density, addition of a high sucrose concentration (234 mM), 2 weeks before sowing, promoted an increase in effective plant conversion in soil (78%) and a vigorous vegetative growth of the resulting plants. Using this somatic embryogenesis process, 50 000 selected F1 hybrids were recently difunded in America Central. (Résumé d'auteur)

    Abstract The present study aimed to develop a protocol for somatic embryogenesis and encapsulation of coffee embryos (Coffea arabica L.), for the conservation of genotypes with characteristics of commercial interest. Somatic embryos were induced from leaf explants in Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with 1 mg · L −1 of 2,4-dichlorophenoxiacetic acid (2,4-D) combined with 2 mg · L −1 of benzyladenine (BA). Somatic embryos (SE) at the globular stage were encapsulated in a sodium alginate matrix; two treatments were tested: MS + 5 mg · L −1 BA + 1 mg · L −1 NAA + 3% (w/v) alginate, and MS + 7 mg · L −1 BA + 5.7 mg · L −1 indoleacetic acid (IAA) + 3% (w/v) alginate. Alginate was complexed with 100 mM calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ). Viability of the encapsulated SE was determined by staining with 0.01% fluorescein diacetate (FDA) after 0, 15, 30, and 45 days of storage at 4°C. Embryo viability was 100% in both treatments.

    Abstract Plant cells have the capacity to generate a new plant without egg fertilization by a process known as somatic embryogenesis (SE), in which differentiated somatic cells can form somatic embryos able to generate a functional plant. Although there have been advances in understanding the genetic basis of SE, the epigenetic mechanism that regulates this process is still unknown. Here, we show that the embryogenic development of Coffea canephora proceeds through a crosstalk between DNA methylation and histone modifications during the earliest embryogenic stages of SE. We found that low levels of DNA methylation, histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) and H3K27me3 change according to embryo development. Moreover, the expression of LEAFY COTYLEDON1 (LEC1) and BABY BOOM1 (BBM1) are only observed after SE induction, whereas WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX4 (WOX4) decreases its expression during embryo maturation. Using a pharmacological approach, it was found that 5-Azacytidine strongly inhibits the embryogenic response by decreasing both DNA methylation and gene expression of LEC1 and BBM1. Therefore, in order to know whether these genes were epigenetically regulated, we used Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays. It was found that WOX4 is regulated by the repressive mark H3K9me2, while LEC1 and BBM1 are epigenetically regulated by H3K27me3. We conclude that epigenetic regulation plays an important role during somatic embryogenic development, and a molecular mechanism for SE is proposed.

    Abstract Molecular and biochemical studies of somatic embryogenesis may help to shed light on the mechanisms governing this phenomenon. In this article, a differential display analysis approach was employed to investigate the changes taking place during the induction of somatic embryogenesis in leaf explants and suspension cultures of coffee. Cloned fragments show homologies to several proteins reported in databases, but only one has previously been described as regulated during somatic embryogenesis. By a reverse dot blot modification, the expression pattern of such fragments was evaluated.

    Abstract Of all the possible micropropagation techniques, vegetative propagation by somatic embryogenesis is by far the most promising one for the rapid, large-scale dissemination of elite individuals. Yet, to date, examples of somatic embryogenesis processes applied at an industrial scale are very few and far between. There are many complications. They usually involve a major genotypic effect, particularly for obtaining embryogenic tissues, or are related to the quality of regenerated somatic embryos, the incidence of somaclonal variation and, more generally, a lack of reproducibility and efficiency at certain stages of the process, leading to production costs that are prohibitive. Research on coffee somatic embryogenesis began at the end of the 1970s at various institutes, including Cirad. Between 1995 and 2001, Cirad moved the technique forward from a research laboratory scale to a technique enabling industrial dissemination of extremely promising Coffea arabica F1 hybrids. Over that period, two technological innovations made technology transfer economically feasible : mass production of somatic embryos in temporary immersion bioreactors and the possibility of sowing them directly in the nursery. At the same time, reassuring data were obtained on the genetic conformity of regenerated plants (somaclonal variation frequency < 3%). In 2002, in partnership with the ECOM group, Cirad decided to transfer the somatic embryogenesis method on an industrial scale to Central America so that four Arabica hybrid clones, that were selected for agroforestry- based farming systems could be disseminated throughout that part of the word. This article describes the different stages and the difficulties we had to overcome in coffee tree before successful technology transfer could occur in 2010. It describes one of the first examples of somatic embryogenesis technology applied at a commercial scale.

    Abstract It was evaluated the effect of plant growth regulators in the root development in coffee seeds cv. Rubi (Coffea arabica L. Rubi ) grown in vitro. Coffee seeds from adult plants were established on medium MS/2 + sucrose (20 g L-1) + agar (6 g L-1). Four treatments were tested: T1 - control; T2 - BAP (6 mg L-1) + NAA (0,1 mg L-1); T3 - BAP (6 mg L-1); T4 - GA3 (5 mg L-1). The highest rooting response was observed on the control (MS/2 + agar + sucrose). This suggest that rooting can be achieved without the use of plant growth regulators.

    Abstract Somatic embryogenesis contributes to coffee breeding programs. This is a process of asexual reproduction which is based on the concept of cellular totipotency. Each haploid or somatic cell of the plant tissue has the genetic information necessary to generate a complete and functional plant. The somatic embryogenesis can occur either indirectly or directly. Coffea arabica genotypes may respond to direct, indirect, or both. In this species, the indirect somatic embryogenesis is composed of two phases, the callogenesis and the embryogenesis, while the direct pathway occurs in a single phase, without the callogenesis. In Coffea, in general, the indirect pathway is induced by the auxin and cytokinin, and the direct pathway with cytokinin only. C. arabica genotypes usually respond easily to the indirect route with high production of somatic embryos. But these are inefficient by the direct route because they present low production of embryos and the process occurs for a long time. In this review, emphasis will be given to different events that are part of the somatic embryogenesis of C. arabica occurring indirectly and in the direct pathway as well as factors that may affect its control.

    Abstract A system for genetic transformation of Coffea canephora by co-cultivation with Agrobacterium rhizogenes harbouring a binary vector has been developed. The objective of the present study was the genetic transformation and direct regeneration of transformants through secondary embryos bypassing an intervening hairy root stage. Transformants were obtained with a transformation efficiency up to 3% depending on the medium adjuvant used. A. rhizogenes strain A4 harbouring plasmid pCAMBIA 1301 with an intron uidA reporter and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hptII) marker gene was used for sonication-assisted transformation of Coffea canephora. The use of hygromycin in the secondary embryo induction medium allowed the selection of transgenic secondary embryos having Ri T-DNA along with the T-DNA from the pCAMBIA 1301 binary vector. In addition transgenic secondary embryos devoid of Ri-T-DNA but with stable integration of the T-DNA from the binary vector were obtained. The putative transformants were positive for the expression of the uidA gene. PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed the independent, transgenic nature of the analysed plants and indicated single and multiple locus integrations. The study clearly demonstrates that A. rhizogenes can be used for delivering transgenes into tree species like Coffea using binary vectors with Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-DNA borders.

    Abstract Somatic embryogenesis (SE) should be very effective for propagation of coffee species. Evaluation of indirect somatic embryogenesis (ISE) and direct somatic embryogenesis (DSE) are useful for describing cell proliferation pre- cedes embryogenesis. The research aimed to evaluate the ISE and DSE ability of Coffea canephora Pierre which performed on a great genetic diversity, was carried out at the Nestlé R&D Centre Tours France in cluding the accessions derived from a coffee core collection of Nestle and three clones of ICCRI. Three aspects, namely: SE process, SE diversity and SE stability were evaluated. The results showed that both DSE and ISE process were observed in present study. These results indicated that both SE processes in C. canephora appeared to be independent mechanism. Under given experimental conditions, SE ability depended on the genotype. Diversity for SE ability was observed not only among three genetic groups of C. canephora (Congolese, Guinean, and Conillon), but also within the genetic groups. Moreover, SE was reproducible and stable for ex- plants from cuttings of the given genotype. Interestingly, among three clones of ICCRI, namely BP409, BP961 and Q121 which were used as parents for con- trolled crosses, showed significant differences suggesting which were possible segregation within their progenies for ISE ability.

    Abstract The main purpose of this research was to characterize and optimize the development of secondary somatic embryos in coffee (Coffea arabica cv. Catimor). In addition, as the primary somatic embryos formation is the previous stage to the differentiation of secondary somatic embryos, three methods for its induction were compared: 1) solid media in two stages, first in a medium with 4.5µM of 2,4-dichlorophenoxiacetic acid (2,4-D) and 35µM of benzyladenin (BA) and then in a medium with 4.3µM naphtaleneacetic acid, 2) solid media with 4.4-53.3µM BA in one stage, and 3) suspension cultures. In the latter treatment the callus was formed in two stages of solid media, one containing 9.3µM of kinetin and 2.3µM of 2,4-D, and a second one with 22.2µM of BA, and a third liquid medium with 35µM of BA. All the treatments induced primary and secondary somatic embryogenesis. The highest yield of somatic embryos was obtained in suspension cultures. The secondary somatic embryos differentiated directly from epidermal and subepidermal cells of the hypocotilar zone of the primary somatic embryos.

    Abstract Disease and pest alert models are able to generate information for agrochemical applications only when needed, reducing costs and environmental impacts. With machine learning algorithms, it is possible to develop models to be used in disease and pest warning systems as a function of the weather in order to improve the efficiency of chemical control of pests of the coffee tree. Thus, we correlated the infection rates with the weather variables and also calibrated and tested machine learning algorithms to predict the incidence of coffee rust, cercospora, coffee miner, and coffee borer. We used weather and field data obtained from coffee plantations in production in the southern regions of the State of Minas Gerais (SOMG) and from the region of the Cerrado Mineiro; these crops did not receive phytosanitary treatments. The algorithms calibrated and tested for prediction were (a) Multiple linear regression (RLM); (b) K Neighbors Regressor (KNN); (c) Random Forest Regressor (RFT), and (d) Artificial Neural Networks (MLP). As dependent variables, we considered the monthly rates of coffee rust, cercospora, coffee miner, and coffee tree borer, and the weather elements were considered as independent (predictor) variables. Pearson correlation analyses were performed considering three different time periods, 1–10 d (from 1 to 10 days before the incidence evaluation), 11–20 d, and 21–30 d, and used to evaluate the unit correlations between the weather variables and infection rates of coffee diseases and pests. The models were calibrated in years of high and low yields, because the biannual variation of harvest yield of coffee beans influences the severity of the diseases. The models were compared by the Willmott’s ‘d’, RMSE (root mean square error), and coefficient of determination (R2) indices. The result of the more accurate algorithm was specialized for the SOMG and Cerrado Mineiro regions using the kriging method. The weather variables that showed significant correlations with coffee rust disease were maximum air temperature, number of days with relative humidity above 80%, and relative humidity. RFT was more accurate in the prediction of coffee rust, cercospora, coffee miner, and coffee borer using weather conditions. In the SOMG, RFT showed a greater accuracy in the predictions for the Cerrado Mineiro in years of high and low yields and for all diseases. In SOMG, the RMSE values ranged from 0.227 to 0.853 for high-yield and 0.147 and 0.827 for low-yield coffee in the coffee borer forecasting.

    Abstract Coffee is an important agricultural export commodity in many Asian, African and Latin American countries. It provides a livelihood for more than 125 million people worldwide. The genus Coffea comprises more than 125 species of which only 2 species Coffea arabica (arabica coffee) and C. canephora (robusta coffee) are commercially cultivated for beverage production. Climate change pres- ents unprecedented challenges to sustainable coffee cultivation on a global scale. Besides, both arabica and robusta coffee are subjected to biotic and abiotic stress conditions that limit their production and productivity. Although conventional breeding approaches are followed to attenuate some of these problems, they were slow and time-consuming. Furthermore, arabica coffee has a narrow genetic base and needs to be addressed immediately by incorporating diverse germplasm with potential agronomic values, using focused breeding programs. In both arabica and robusta, the full potential of germplasm has not been exploited. Recent progress in the biotechnological field particularly on molecular markers and new generation sequencing platform hold great promise to discover new genes and accelerate coffee breeding programs. The progress achieved in coffee transgenic technology also has unparalleled opportunities to develop new cultivars with improved agronomic traits. Recent progress in gene editing techniques has a significant impact on the genetic improvement of coffee. This chapter provides current and innovative information about coffee’s origin and distribution, genetic resource diversity and conventional breeding strategies and application. Current advances in the field of tissue culture, genetic transformation, gene editing and molecular breeding are also discussed.

    Notes:

    • Extracted Annotations (10/15/2021, 11:27:53 PM)

      "Among the coffee species discovered so far, Coffea arabica is the only self-fertile tetraploid (2n = 4 × = 44), whereas all other Coffea species are diploid (2n = 2 × = 22) and mostly self-sterile (Pearl et al. 2004)" (p. 476)

      "Two different genetic bases of Arabica, Typica and Bourbon, spread from Yemen and formed the base of present-day commercial arabica coffee cultivars grown worldwide." (p. 476)

      "Commercial arabica cultivars currently grown worldwide are derived from two genetic bases known as Typica and Bourbon." (p. 478)

      "Several researchers indicate that the Typica genetic base is derived from a single plant cultivated in Amsterdam in the early eighteenth century whereas the Bourbon genetic base consists of trees introduced to La Réunion (then Bourbon Island) from Mocha, Yemen in 1715 and 1718 (Krishnan 2013)." (p. 478)

      "The two subpopulations of wild coffee were originally introduced from Ethiopia to Yemen where it subsequently underwent successive reductions in genetic diversity." (p. 478)

      "Due to the self-fertilization of Coffea arabica, extensive reduction in genetic diversity has taken place among commercial cultivars (Anthony et al. 2002). In contrast to C. arabica, huge genetic diversity exists among coffee species in terms of plant growth habits (Fig. 12.2) and fruit color (Fig. 12.3)." (p. 479)

      "The current system of conserving coffee germplasm is not sustainable, secure, cost-effective or rational and therefore should be considered as a global resource that will ensure the sustainability of coffee production for future generations (Krishnan 2018)." (p. 479)

      "At present, field gene banks comprising Coffea arabica germplasm accessions are mainly available in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, India, Brazil, Columbia and Costa Rica and, similarly, robusta germplasm collections are held by Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Madagascar and India. Likewise, a large collection of diploid species is also available in the gene banks of Madagascar, Ivory Coast and India." (p. 480)

      "Coffee seeds are intermediate or recalcitrant in nature and therefore sensitive to both desiccation as well as storage. As a result of the difficulty to store coffee seed, even at low temperature, the main conservation strategy of coffee genetic diversity has been carried out ex situ by planting coffee trees directly in the field." (p. 481)

      "The analysis of six isozyme patterns in different C. arabica accessions revealed the absence of polymorphism, contrasting with the high level of morphological variation, and suggesting that isozymes are not appropriate for the study of genetic diversity and for C. arabica accession identification (Berthou and Trouslot 1977)." (p. 483)

      "In addition to isozymes, leaf flavonoid profiles and phenolic constituents of different arabica and robusta genotypes were studied by Mishra et al. (1993) and Saraswathi et al. (1991), which revealed that although biochemical markers can be helpful, they have limited discrimination abilities." (p. 483)

      "The major objectives of arabica breeding, during the initial years, included increasing productivity and resistance to leaf rust and later on, during the 1990s, other objectives like improving quality, resistance to pests and drought were pursued." (p. 488)

      "First of all, the long process of traditional breeding involving several different techniques, such as parental selection, hybridization and progeny evaluation require at least 30 years to develop a new cultivar. Furthermore, the long generation time of the coffee tree, the high cost of field trials, the lack of accuracy of the breeding process, the differences in ploidy level between Coffea arabica and other diploid species and their incompatibility, are major limitations associated with conventional breeding (Mishra and Slater 2012)." (p. 488)

      "In addition to these, genetic resistance to important pest and disease such as coffee white stem borer (Xylotrechus quadripes), a devastating pest on C. arabica, as well as coffee berry disease (CBD) caused by the fungal plant pathogen Colletotrichum kahawae are not available in the C. arabica gene pool and therefore difficult to be incorporated into a breeding program. Similarly, the source of resistance to coffee berry borer caused by Hypothenamus hampei, drought and cold tolerance and herbicide resistance are not readily available in the coffee gene pool." (p. 488)

      "This is because most of arabica genotypes are morphologically indistinguishable from each other. Uniformity of morphological traits in Coffea arabica could be attributed to the origin of the species, its narrow genetic base and its self-fertile nature." (p. 489)

      "Somatic embryo induction and plantlet regeneration in coffee is timeconsuming and often takes more than a year." (p. 490)

      "However, one of the major obstacles associated with the commercial production of somatic embryos is the poor conversion of somatic embryos to plantlets and very low percent of survival of plantlets in the nursery during acclimatization." (p. 491)

      "The coffee plant has a single apical meristem with each leaf axil producing 4-5 orthotropic buds and two plagiotropic buds. The plagiotropic buds only start development from the 10 to 11th node." (p. 491)

      "Each single segment can provide 7-9 microcuttings every 80 days." (p. 491)

      "Micropropagation through somatic embryogenesis involving a prolonged callus phase is considered unreliable due to genomic changes of in vitro raised plantlets (Jain 2001; Rani et al. 2000)." (p. 491)

      "Reported field performance of somatic embryo derived plants showed a normal response in terms of physiology and yield." (p. 492)

      "Until today, most traditional arabica cultivars selected during the period 1940-1970 are still commercially cultivated and much of the world's coffee is derived from these cultivars. These cultivars including Kents, S.288, S.795 from India, Mundo Novo, Caturra and Catuai from Brazil and Blue Mountain from Jamaica, are still under commercial cultivation." (p. 496)

      "Coffee leaf rust (CLR), popularly known as orange rust, is caused by the biotrophic fungus Hemileia vastatrix Berk. & Br." (p. 499)

      "It has been estimated that at a severe incidence level, the yield is reduced 30-80% in the case of arabica coffee which accounts for a more than USD 2 billion losses per year." (p. 499)

      "Coffee berry disease (CBD) is caused by the fungus Colletotrichum kahawae on developing berries of arabica coffee in Africa. The disease has direct impact on yield and quality of the coffee as it affects the harvestable crop." (p. 500)

      "Arabica cultivars are susceptible to both root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.) and rootlesion (Pratylenchus spp.) nematodes." (p. 501)

      "Although several insect pests are known to attack coffee, only two have considerable economic significance: coffee berry borer caused by Hypothenemous hampei and coffee white stem borer caused by Xylotrechus quadripes." (p. 501)

      "It has been observed that a resistance source to coffee berry borer is not available in either primary or secondary gene pools of coffee and the best control strategy of this insect pest is achieved by IPM methods." (p. 501)

      "White stem borer is the major pest on arabica coffee in India. The annual loss incurred due to WSB infestation is estimated atUSD17.5-26 million (Venkatesha 2010)." (p. 501)

      "Arabica coffees are generally more tolerant to moisture stress as compared to robusta coffees because of a more extensive and deeper root system." (p. 501)

    Abstract The development of somatic embryogenesis of coffee tree (Coffea spp.) In liquid culture media is a viable alternative for the propagation of this species. The use of liquid culture media and temporary immersion systems could increase the germination of somatic embryos and improve the quality of the plants. To this end, the objective was to determine the effect of inoculation density on the germination of somatic embryos of Coffea arabica L. cv. 'Red Caturra' in Temporary Immersion Systems type RITA®. 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 somatic embryos were used by RITA® as inoculum densities. At 90 days of culture, the number of germinated somatic embryos, hyperhydricity symptoms, number of true leaves, length and root development were quantified. With the inoculum density of 70 somatic embryos per RITA®, the highest germination percentage (60%) was achieved with good foliar development and the length of the plants obtained.

    Abstract Somatic embryogenesis was induced in leaf explants of Coffea arabica ‘Catuai’. A two steps procedure was followed: explants were first cultured in a callus induction medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyace-tic acid and 6-benzylaminopurine and later transferred to an auxin free embryo induc-tion and conversion medium. The influence of three mineral salt formulations: Schenk & Hildebrandt (1972) full salt solution, Mu-rashige & Skoog (1962) full and half salt solutions; two vitamin mixtures: Gamborg et al. (1968) and Schenk & Hildebrandt (1972) and two gelling agents: agar and gelrite, was assessed. Best embryogenic response was obtained in culture medium with Schenk & Hildebrandt (1972) mineral salts, Gamborg et al. (1968) vitamins and agar. In this medium, somatic embryos were observed after 18 weeks of culture and, six weeks later, 85% of the explants presented an average of 18 somatic embryos per explant.

    Abstract Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) threaten the livelihood of millions of farmers producing coffee worldwide. The use of resistant plants either as cultivars or rootstocks appears to be the single most effective method of control. A screening method was developed to evaluate large populations of plants for resistance to root-knot nematodes. Two coffee cultivars, one susceptible and the other resistant to Meloidogyne paranaensis, were grown under controlled conditions in two substrates: a commercial sieved potting compost and an inert substrate containing sand with a water-absorbent synthetic polymer. Plant growth and development and nematode multiplication were compared for two inoculation dates (2 and 8 weeks after planting) and two evaluation dates (eight and 13 weeks after inoculation). Root growth, but not nematode multiplication, was influenced by the choice of substrate. Evaluation of the differences in root weight and nematode numbers between the different cultivars, substrates and dates of inoculation suggested that an optimal condition could be defined. The best discrimination between susceptible and resistant plants was found in the experiment where inoculation occurred at 2 weeks after planting and evaluation occurred at 8 weeks after inoculation. Because the total duration of this experiment was only 3 months, high-throughput evaluation was possible, opening up new possibilities for screening large germplasm collections and studying the genetic control of root-knot nematode resistance in coffee.

    Abstract Auxin and polar auxin transport have been implicated in controlling zygotic embryo development, but less is known about their role in the development of somatic embryos. The aim of this study was to determine if indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the PIN1 transporter participate in the induction of somatic embryogenesis (SE) and the development of somatic embryos. The results show that IAA levels gradually increase during pre-treatment and accumulate in the chloroplast. During pre-treatment and the globular stage of SE in C. canephora, auxin is distributed uniformly in all of the cells of the somatic embryo. During the subsequent stages of development, auxins are mobilized to the cells that will form the cotyledons and the root meristem. The location of the PIN transporters shifts from the plasmalemma of the protoderm cells during the globular stage to the plasmalemma of the cells that will give rise to the cotyledons and the vascular tissue in the late stages of somatic embryogenesis. The incubation of the explants in the presence of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) produced aberrant somatic embryos, suggesting that PIN1 mediates the transport of IAA.

    Abstract Coffee is an important beverage crop owing to its economic benefits at individual and national levels. The most important part of coffee in vitro micropropagation is the generation of genetically homogenous and uniform plantlets with all desirable characters of the mother plant. Somaclonal variation may lead to generation of off-types planting material with undesirable character(s) due to loss of genetic fidelity. The present experiment investigated genetic stability and somaclonal variation of 54 somatic embryo-regenerated Coffea arabica ‘Ruiru 11’ sibs 93, 100, 121 and 137 and 2 clonal mother plants of each sib. The Sibs were characterized using 13 SSR molecular markers. The molecular data was organized into a matrix and genetic similarity calculated with Jaccard’s distances using XLSTAT statistical software and a profile plot constructed using Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic average cluster analysis to evaluate the genetic fidelity amongst the regenerated plantlets. All banding profiles from somatic embryogenesis regenerated plantlets were monomorphic and similar to those of the mother plants with a similarity value of 1. The profile plot revealed 100% similarity between the somatic embryo-regenerated plantlets and the clonal mother plants. These results confirmed that the somatic embryo-regenerated progenies were uniform according to the SSR markers. The somatic embryogenesis process had a mechanism for selecting competent cells and the regenerated plantlets were genetically stable. Therefore, the protocol for regenerating somatic embryos is recommended for use in mass propagation of the disease-resistant somaclones for distribution to farmers to use in expansion of the acreage planted with coffee.

    Abstract Coffee is an important crop worldwide, grown on about 10 million hectares in tropical regions including Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The genus Coffea includes more than 100 species; most are diploid, except for C. arabica, which is allotetraploid and autogamous. The genetic diversity of commercial coffee is low, likely due to it being self-pollinating, in addition, the widespread propagation of few selected cultivars, such as Caturra, Bourbon, and Typica. One approach is the analysis of genome size in these cultivars as a proxy to study its genetic variability. In the present work, genome size of 16 cultivars was assessed through high-resolution flow cytometry (FCM). Nuclear DNA was analyzed using a modified procedure that uses propidium iodide (PI) and 4′,6′-diamino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride hydrate (DAPI) staining. The C. arabica cultivars investigated possessed a nuclear DNA content ranging from 2.56 ± 0.016 pg for Typica, to 3.16 ± 0.033 pg for ICATU, which had the largest genome size. All cultivars measured using both fluorochromes had greater estimates with DAPI than PI. The proportion of the genome composed of guanosine and cytosine (GC%) among the cultivars evaluated in this study ranged from 37.03% to 39.22%. There are few studies of genome size by FCM of distinct important C. arabica cultivars, e.g., hybrids and artificial crosses. Thus, this work could be valuable for coffee breeding programs. The data presented here are intended to expand the genomic understanding of C. arabica and could link nuclear DNA content with evolutionary relationships such as diversification, hybridization and polyploidy.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to develop an equation to estimate longevity of coffee seeds using the Probit Model. Published survival curves of coffee seeds, stored under different temperatures and moisture contents, were transformed to probit and used in linear and non-linear multiple regressions to determine the coefficients of viability equations. The results showed adequate fitting in a quadratic model with a standard deviation of 8.9% germination, compared to 15.1% in the traditional model. The non-linear regression compared to the multiple linear regression, gave lower (1.5 to 2.2 times) standard deviation to determine the coefficient of the equation of the standard deviation of distribution frequency of dead seed during the storage period (σ). The coffee seeds did not behave as orthodox seeds, as indicated by the non linear variations of the logarithm of σ as a function of the variations of the logarithm of the seed moisture content.

    Abstract This work aimed to develop embryos and acclimatize seedlings of Coffea arabica L. cv. Rubi produced by direct somatic embryogenesis. For the development of somatic embryos, were evaluated the effect of sucrose (0; 15; 30; 45 and 60 g.L -1 ) and GA 3 (0; 2.5; 5 and 10 mg.L -1 ). For the development of seedlings, were evaluated the influence of GA 3 (0; 2.5; 5; 10 mg.L-¹) and NAA (0; 0.25; 0.5; 1; 2 mg L-¹). The in vitro experiments were carried out in a growth chamber under light intensity of 32 µMol.m -2 .s -1 , at the temperature of ± 25 1 o C and photoperiod of 16 hours. The parameters evaluated were: number of leaves, length of the aerial part and fresh weight of the seedlings. For the seedling acclimatization process two types of substrates were tested (Plantmax ® and Plantmax ® plus carbonized rice peels (v/v 1:1) and fertilizer with slow-release (Osmocote ® ) (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 g of the fertilizer per cell). The results indicated that 5.81 mg L -1 GA 3 was efficient for the development of coffee somatic embryos and GA 3 (10 mg. L -1 ) in combination with 1mg. L -1 NAA showed efficiency in the development of the seedlings obtained by direct somatic embryogenesis. The best substrate for acclimatization was Plantmax® mixed with carbonized rice peels and 1.68 g per cell of the Osmocote® fertilizer.

    Abstract Somatic embryogenesis in Coffea spp. is important for mass production and genetic engineering. Coffee is an exceptional case, as somatic embryogenesis can be induced by applying a cytokinin such as 2iP as the only plant growth regulator. 1-(2-(2-Hydroxyethyl)phenyl)-3-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)urea (3TFM-2HE) and 1-(3-bromo-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-3-(2-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenyl)urea (3TFM,5Br-2HE) are two newly designed cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase inhibitors (CKX) from the diphenylurea group. We used a Coffea arabica leaf disks bioassay to demonstrate the indirect somatic embryo induction potential of these compounds. The leaf disks were incubated on modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) semi-solid medium in which 3TFM-2HE or 3TFM,5Br-2HE were combined with N6-(2-isopentenyl)adenine (2iP). Although these compounds do not possess intrinsic cytokinin activity, they enhanced the activity of 2iP, resulting in direct somatic embryogenesis after seven weeks. The best results were obtained with 1 µM 3TFM-2HE and 5 or 10 µM 2iP. Maturation of somatic embryos into fully developed plants took place on medium supplemented with 0.5 µM kinetin and the somatic embryos developed true leaves and a root system.

    Abstract Background Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a useful biotechnological tool to study the morpho-physiological, biochemical and molecular processes during the development of Coffea canephora. Plant growth regulators (PGR) play a key role during cell differentiation in SE. The Auxin-response-factor (ARF) and Auxin/Indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA) are fundamental components involved in the signaling of the IAA. The IAA signaling pathway activates or represses the expression of genes responsive to auxins during the embryogenic transition of the somatic cells. The growing development of new generation sequencing technologies (NGS), as well as bioinformatics tools, has allowed us to broaden the landscape of SE study of various plant species and identify the genes directly involved. Methods Analysis of transcriptome expression profiles of the C. canephora genome and the identification of a particular set of differentially expressed genes (DEG) during SE are described in this study. Results A total of eight ARF and seven Aux/IAA differentially expressed genes were identified during the different stages of the SE induction process. The quantitative expression analysis showed that ARF18 and ARF5 genes are highly expressed after 21 days of the SE induction, while Aux/IAA7 and Aux/IAA12 genes are repressed. Discussion The results of this study allow a better understanding of the genes involved in the auxin signaling pathway as well as their expression profiles during the SE process.

    Abstract Madagascar has 59 species of Coffea, of which 42 are listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable by criteria of the Red List Category system of the World Conservation Union. In an attempt to assess the conservation value of ex situ collections of Malagasy coffee species, a study was undertaken using the field genebank collections maintained at the Kianjavato Coffee Research Station. Three species were selected for this purpose, C. kianjavatensis, C. montis-sacri, and C. vatovavyensis, and for comparative purposes extant, in situ populations of the same species were studied. Parentage analyses of ex situ propagated offspring of C. kianjavatensis and C. montis-sacri were performed to assess if crossing with other Coffea species maintained in the field genebank is compromising the genetic integrity of the collection. For these three species, higher genetic diversity was observed in the ex situ populations compared to the in situ populations, highlighting the importance of preserving the plants currently in ex situ collections. Parentage analyses of seed-propagated offspring of C. kianjavatensis and C. montis-sacri revealed that cross contamination with pollen from other Coffea species in the ex situ field genebank is occurring. These results have significant implications for the conservation management of wild Coffea species and for the management of ex situ genebanks.

    Abstract The somatic embryogenesis is important as model system to study the development of physiologic and molecular events that sustain the embryogenesis in plants, is an appropriate system for the massive propagation of vegetable species and as tool for the genetic improvement, the germplasm conservation and the validation of new biological products and to facilitate the multiplication to great scale through the culture in liquid medium, as well as application in bioreactores, providing high multiplication frequency, quick growth of the embryo, easiness of absorption of nutritious and reduction of the subculturing. In this paper the somatic embryogenesis was used to evaluate the effect of bacterial compounds in the induction of cellular suspensions and somatic embryos in three coffee genotypes of Coffea canephora P. var. Robusta. Were studied inoculo densities among 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 gMF/L-1 and the effect of different culture medium in the development of the process. The results showed a behavior differed in the genotype M-28, in medium culture with conventional regulators of growth and the alternatives. Strong relationship was evidenced between the cellular viability and the number of cells, in the different cultivation conditions and according to the inoculo density, a wide range of size and forms as observed in the populations of somatic embryos. The conversion percentages with the medium MDE-2, evidenced improvements of this indicator for the coffee.

    Abstract Coffee is one of the most important agricultural products in the international market and many countries are involved in its production, trade or consumption. Arabica coffee is self-pollinated and homozygous, they are normally propagated by seeds. Seeds have been considered intermediate storage behavior with varying results. It is highly desirable that seeds are stored safely to optimize coffee seedling production at the appropriate time and season with ideal climatic conditions for planting in the field. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of storage temperature, time of storage and initial seed moisture content on early seedling performances of coffee seeds and to determine the appropriate seed handling method. In this experiment, the influence of initial seed moisture content with four levels (12, 17, 22 & 27%) storage temperature (ST) with two levels (15 o C & ambient), time of storage with six levels (sowing after 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 months) and on coffee seedling growth stages were studied in a split-split-plot factorial design. The data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using statistical analysis system version 9.2 software (SAS, 2009). Treatment means were separated using LSD at 0.05 probability level. The present findings of storage environment with cold temperature (15 o C) accelerated seedling growth much better than did ambient temperature condition. All tested seedling growth stages were faster at initial time of storage. After third month of storage, seed quality drastically reduced especially under ambient storage condition. Seeds dried to 12% moisture content showed delay of germination and growth throughout the trial period. Seeds with 27% initial moisture content took shorter time to reach at different growth stages at initial storage time but when aged took much time. Storage temperature, time of storage and initial seed moisture contents showed highly significant main and interaction effects and seeds dried to intermediate moisture level (17 & 22%), stored under cold temperature and sown at early times resulted in enhanced seedling growth. Hence, the current study suggests drying coffee seeds to 17% to 22% moisture contents and store under relatively lower temperatures at about 15 o C for not more than six months of storage. As the present finding was limited to single cultivar and specific environmental condition further investigation is significant.

      "Average annual rain fall of the area is 1594 mm with 67% mean relative humidity. The mean minimum and maximum temperatures are about 11.60C and 26.30C respectively. The soil of the center has a characteristic of reddish to reddish brown clay nature, where eruticnitosols and chronic cambisols are dominant types with pH range of 5 to 6." (p. 279)

      "fully ripe red cherries were harvested from selected mother trees in the seed orchard of cultivar 74110" (p. 279)

      "The cherries were sorted out and pulped in a hand pulp separator. After pulping the selected cherries, the wet parchment beans were again sorted out, thoroughly washed, and taken to drying room, hut made of grass roof." (p. 279)

      "Then the wet parchment coffee was laid on wire mesh for drying under shade and when its skin dried dressed in fine wood ash following the JARC conventional practice and kept till it attained the desired four levels of moisture contents (27, 22, 17 and 12% [fresh weight base])." (p. 279)

      "All tested seed and seedling growth parameters were highest at initial time of storage and declined progressively with storage time." (p. 282)

      "After third month seed quality drastically reduced especially under ambient storage condition." (p. 282)

      "Seed stored under cold condition recorded minimum qualitative losses with better seed quality parameters throughout the storage period as compared to seeds stored under ambient condition. Seeds stored in cold condition maintained viability and vigor for longer period with minimum deterioration in seed quality." (p. 282)

      "Seeds with 27% initial moisture content showed higher performances at initial storage time but when aged drastically declined." (p. 282)

      "Seeds dried to 22% followed by 17% initial moisture contents maintained higher germination, seedling emergence and early seedling growth parameters and stored at relatively lower temperatures. If stored under ambient condition should not be stored for longer than two to three months." (p. 282)

      "Hence, for storing coffee seeds, it is advisable drying the seeds to about 17% to 22% moisture contents and keep under storage with relatively lower temperatures (at about 15oC) for not more than five or sixmonths of storage is advisable." (p. 283)

      "For immediate sowing of coffee seeds higher seed moisture content of 27% may be used for better seed germination and early growth potentials that result in vigorous seedling." (p. 283)

      "The experiments conducted so far in this area are not sufficient to draw a reliable conclusion. Since, the present study was done for a single cultivar (74110) and under Jimma conditions further experiment needs to be conducted for varieties at different environmental conditions with narrower ranges of seed initial moisture content and storage temperatures."

    Abstract Inter-specific and inter-generic crossing offer plant breeders a way to increase genetic variability and transfer of desirable genes among species, especially from wild plants to cultivated ones (Gomathinayagam et al., 1998). The use of hybridization between different species is frequently limited due to failures that can occur during pre- and post-fertilization, which can affect endosperm and/or embryo development leading to abortion or degeneration before maturation is reached (Mallikarjuna, 1999; Sukno et al., 1999; Angra et al., 1999). Hybrid embryos can be saved if they are removed before abortion and artificially cultivated in a nutritive medium (Asano and Imagawa, 1999). The embryo originated from a normal fecundation process can easily be separated and cultivated in aseptic conditions in an adequate culture medium. This will maintain them genetically stable, producing identical descendant to them. For the removal of the embryo, one need only to disinfect the external surface of the seed due to the fact that the embryo is located inside, in an sterile region of the seed. Therefore the in vitro contamination rate is very low in comparison to other cultures (Illg, 1985).

    Abstract Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is a sensitive method used to investigate relevant changes in gene expression during somatic embryogenesis. Understanding its regulatory network might be helpful to the process of induction of embryos and facilitate the development of efficient plant regeneration procedures. In this study, a set of 12 genes was selected and their stability was assessed in different tissues of somatic embryogenesis-related cultures of Coffea arabica. Analyses of gene expression stability were performed using the RefFinder tool that integrates the geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and Delta-Ct algorithms. Among the all candidate reference genes studied, APRT/EF1a, UBQ/ACT, ACT/24S, RPL39/24S, PP2A/RPL39, PP2A/AP47, emerged as the most stable for normalization of qPCR analyses of embryogenic cell suspensions, non-embryogenic calli, embryogenic calli, com- bined embryogenic and non-embryogenic calli, somatic embryos and plantlet, respectively. A combination of two genes, 24S and PP2A, was identiied as most suitable ref- erence genes across all samples for the C. arabica tissues studied. The commonly employed reference gene encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was found to be inappropriate as a reference gene for embryogenic tissues of C. arabica. In addition, Baby boom (BBM) gene expression was investigated to confirm the validity of the selected reference genes, the transcript levels of gene were overestimated when unsuitable reference genes were used for normalization. The results shown herein will permit a more precise and reliable normalization of qPCR in experiments involving somatic embryogenesis of C. arabica.

    Abstract Genetic improvement of coffee plants represents a great challenge for breeders. Conventional breeding takes a too long time for responding timely to market demands, climatic variations and new biological threads. The correlation of genetic markers with the plant phenotype and final product quality is usually poor. Additionally, the creation and use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are often legally restricted and rejected by customers that demand natural products. Therefore, we developed a non-targeted metabolomics approach to accelerate conventional breeding. Our main idea was to identify highly heritable metabolites in Coffea canephora seedlings, which are linked to coffee cup quality. We employed a maternal half-sibs approach to estimate the metabolites heritability in open-pollinated plants in both leaves and fruits at an early plant development stage. We evaluated the cup quality of roasted beans and correlated highly heritable metabolites with sensory quality traits of the coffee beverage. Our results provide new insights about the heritability of metabolites of C. canephora plants. Furthermore, we found strong correlations between highly heritable metabolites and sensory traits of coffee beverage. We revealed metabolites that serve as predictive metabolite markers at an early development stage of coffee plants. Informed decisions can be made on plants of six months old, compared to 3.5 to 5 years using conventional selection methods. The metabolome-wide association study (MWAS) drastically accelerates the selection of C. canephora plants with desirable characteristics and represents a novel approach for the focused breeding of crops.

    Abstract The objective of the present study was to verify the effect of adding 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) on somatic embryogenesis of Coffea arabica genotypes AC1, AC2, AC3 and Mundo Novo cv. ‘IAC 376-4’. Rectangular foliar explants of these genotypes were inoculated into a single semi-solid culture medium consisting of 1⁄2 MS salts supplemented with 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50 M 6-BA, respectively and kept in the dark at 25°C. The treatments were evaluated with respect to the number of sides of the explant showing formation of structures, an estimate of the size of the structure formed by the explant and the total number of somatic embryos (SEs) produced. The formation of small structures (3 mm) on the borders of the explants of AC and ‘Mundo Novo’ was observed and these subsequently developed SEs when cultured in medium supplemented with lower concentrations of 6-BA tested (10, 15, 20 or 30 μM). In addition, SEs were also formed directly on the borders of the explants. Another aspect of the present study is the formation of SEs as a response to 6-BA as the sole growth regulator and their development in a single culture medium, in a single phase. This culture method results in a reduction in time, handling and consumables, thus being more advantageous, in addition to opening perspectives for its use with other C. arabica genotypes.

    Abstract The cultivation of coffee constitutes an important area to increase the income of the national economy from the export of the grain. The development of somatic embryogenesis of coffee in liquid culture media is a viable alternative for the propagation of this species. The use of culture media in liquid state combined with culture systems based on the temporary immersion of the explants, could increase germination and improve the quality of the plants for their conversion under ex vitro conditions. To this end, the objective of determining the effect of inoculation density on the germination of somatic embryos of Coffea arabica L. cv. Red Caturra in Temporary Immersion Systems type RITA®, in addition to evaluating the effect of the composition and type of substrate on the growth and development of plants in the acclimatization phase. Different inoculum densities were used (40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 somatic embryos by RITA®). At 90 days of culture, morphological variables were evaluated such as: the number of somatic embryos with partial and total germination, symptoms of hyperhydricity, number of true leaves, length and root development. While, in the acclimatization phase, different substrate compositions were used (85% earthworm humus-15% Zeolite, 75% earthworm humus-25% Zeolite, 65% earthworm humus-35% Zeolite, 50% earthworm humus -50% Zeolite) and it was evaluated: the height of the plants, the number of leaves, the length of the main root, the fresh mass, the dry mass, the foliar area. The best result in Temporary Immersion Systems type RITA® was achieved with an inoculum density of 70 ES per RITA® with 60% germination and with a good development of plant length and number of leaves compared to the others. treatments. Good development and survival of the plants from somatic embryogenesis was achieved in the different composition and type of substrate treatments. However, the best result in terms of the morphological development of the plants was obtained with the substrates composed of 75% Worm Humus-25% Zeolite and 85% Worm Humus-15% Zeolite, with a survival of 100 and 96.4% respectively. .

    Abstract Variation for growth., yield and quality characters was studied in a diallel cross among 11 varieties of arabica coffee. The objective was to demonstrate the possible application of such information in breeding programmes for improved yield and coffee quality. Growth characters especially girth, height, internode length on stem and primaries, and canopy radius had a high repeatability. Such characters are heritable, even with a single measurement taken on young coffee trees. For most yield characters, a good assessment can only be obtained if it is based on the mean of several years' records Regarding quality characters, single berry weight, % AA, %AB and %PB showed a high heritability. Genetic variation for selected growth and yield characters was due to genes with additive and dominance effects. There was also evidence of epistatic effects among genes governing most of these characters, and especially so for yield. As a consequence many of the F 1 hybrids displayed considerable hybrid vigour varying between 10% to over 200% above the better parent. Variation for quality characters was chiefly due to the additive genetic effects, specific combining ability being relatively unimportant. A detailed study of genotype-environment interactions revealed that it is possible to select for high yielding genotypes with the desired level of linear response to environments. Yield stability and compact growth are characters that could be selected for independently. Quality characters in general were relatively less influenced by effects of genotype-environment interactions. Height and angle of primaries could be selected on basis of 1 year old seedlings in the nursery. It is also possible to base individual tree selection for yield on performance of fairly young coffee trees. This entails use of a preselection index comprising for instance, girth, canopy radius or internode length on primaries, bearing primaries or % bearing nodes, plus yield of the first 2-3 years of individual trees. For coffee quality, rapid improvement could be obtained by basing selection on %AA for bean size, and on the overall standard for liquor quality. The first year's assessment of these characters is already sufficient for selection purposes. Implications of these results in breeding programmes are discussed. A breeding scheme is proposed aimed at developing compact high yielding coffee varieties with good quality which also combine resistance to the two main diseases of arabica coffee, coffee berry disease and coffee rust. The breeding scheme entails either development of hybrid varieties, or a programme of further selection to derive seed varieties. Important features of such a scheme are, 1) the use of information on genetic basis of variation for certain characters in planning hybridization programmes and, 2) a drastically reduced breeding cycle per generation as a result of basing selection, within each generation, on fairly young coffee trees.

    Abstract The transformation of coffee plantlets with the cry1ac gene of Bacillus thuringiensis was achieved by biolistic using either the whole pUBC plasmid or only the ubi-cry1ac-nos genetic cassette. The cry1ac gene was inserted into coffee plants in order to confer resistance to the leaf miner Leucoptera coffeella, an insect responsible for considerable losses in coffee crops. Bearing in mind that the genetic cassettes used for this study lack reporter genes and/or selection marker genes, the parameters for the transformation procedure by biolistic were previously standardised with a plasmid carrying the gus reporter gene. The presence of the cry1ac gene in young plantlet tissues was determined by PCR, Southern blot and reverse transcription-PCR. Our results show that the obtainment of viable coffee plantlets, transformed by bombardment with the cry1ac gene and without selection markers nor reporter genes, is feasible.

    Abstract Arabica coffee is the key cash crop and top mainstay of the Ethiopian economy and requires sustainable production methods. Southwestern natural forests, the site of this study, are believed to be the centre of origin and diversity for Coffea arabica and still harbour wild Arabica coffee that may serve as an important gene pool for future breeding. Cost reductions, sustainability and quality improvement are now the major priorities in coffee production systems and require organic growing of coffee. Current developments in sustainability involve rational exploitation of soil microbial activities that positively affect plant growth and this study examines this possibility. The composition of coffee shade tree species and density of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) spores and coffee-associated rhizobacteria in different coffee production systems in southwestern Ethiopia were investigated. The main objectives were to: 1) systematically identify the dominant coffee shade tree species; 2) quantify and characterize AMF populations with respect to spatial distribution; 3) screen for beneficial rhizobacteria (microbial biofertilizers and biocontrol agents), particularly in the rhizosphere of coffee plants; and 4) characterize rhizobacterial isolates of particular interest using molecular tools (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis and 16S rDNA gene sequencing). Sampling and determination of microbial functional characteristics followed standard methods. Nineteen dominant shade tree species belonging to 14 plant families were identified, with the tree legume (Millettia ferruginea) dominating. All soil samples contained AMF spores and members of the Glomeromycota, Glomus spp. dominating. AMF spore density was affected by sampling point, site, depth, shade tree species and shade tree/coffee plant age. Coffee-associated rhizobacterial isolates showed multiple beneficial traits (phosphate solubilization, production of organic acids, siderophores, indoleacetic acid, hydrogen cyanide, lytic enzymes and degradation of an ethylene precursor). Many isolates also revealed a potent inhibitory effect against emerging fungal coffee pathogens such as Fusarium xylarioides, F. stilboides and F. oxysporum. According to in vitro studies Bacillus, Erwinia, Ochrobactrum, Pseudomonas, and Serratia spp. were the most important isolates to act as potential biofertilizers, biocontrol agents or both. Thus, these indigenous isolates deserve particular attention and further greenhouse and field trials could ascertain their future applicability for inoculum development.

    Abstract Coffea arabica is native to the Afromontane rainforests of Ethiopia. These rainforests are the last refugia for wild genetic resources of Arabica coffee. To understand the ecological characteristics and the conservation options of wild coffee populations, a study was conducted in Bonga, Harenna, Maji, Berhane-Kontir and Yayu forests. In each forest, quadrants of 20 x 20 m were laid along transects to collect coffee related data. Wild populations of Arabica coffee are distributed over a wide range of geographical regions, but locally have a patchy distribution in the rainforests. The highest abundance of wild coffee plants per plot was recorded in Yayu and the lowest in the Bonga/Berhane-Kontir forests. A low frequency of occurrence was observed in Harenna (71%) and the highest in Maji and Yayu forests (100%). This is related to the major spatial discontinuities caused by factors in edaphic, biotic, microclimatic and topographic features. Wild coffee occurs mostly between 1000 m and 2000 m but its critical altitude is between 1300 m and 1600 m. There is a negative correlation between the abundance of wild coffee and an increase in slope angle. The wild populations of Arabica coffee are also influenced by the structural arrangement of the forest. Slight forest disturbance such as selective tree cutting may create favorable environmental conditions for coffee recruitment. However, serious disturbances such as overgrazing can limit the regeneration capacity of coffee plants in the forest. To conserve the greatest possible amount of wild coffee populations, the rainforests must be maintained and not converted to other types of land use. Nature reserve networks should be established across the Afromontane rainforests of Ethiopia.

    Abstract The coffee crop is of great economic importance; cultivated coffee presently covers 11.6 × 106ha worldwide, and the production of green beans totaled 9.6 ×106tons in 1996. The genus Coffea is represented by more than 70 species and forms part of the large family of the Rubiaceae. Commercially, C arabica and C canephora are the main species harvested (Coste 1989). Coffee is one of the most important commodity products in international trade, the second after petroleum; but, in spite of the economic importance of the best-flavored species, Arabica (Coffea arabica L), relatively few breeding varieties (lines or hybrids) are cultivated. In contrast, the Robusta species (Coffea canephora Pierre), which has less desirable attributes, has a wide diversity of clones in cultivation.

    Abstract Young coffee plants at nursery particularly after transplanting are very sensitive to weed infestation. Therefore, timely weeding is necessary to boost seedling vegetative growth. A pot experiment was conducted from 2017-18 at IRAD, Foumbot multipurpose research station, Cameroon. The main objective was to assess the influence of biochar and poultry manure on weed infestation and growth of arabica coffee seedlings. The biochar was produced using an Elsa pyrolysis barrel at 450 0 C with 58 min carbonisation time from corncobs. The biochar were milled to < 2mm and mixed at the rate of 20, 30 and 40t/ha -1 with 40t/ha -1 poultry manure and soil before applying to 0.01 m 2 polythene bags with five replications. Results showed that the 20t/ha -1 biochar + 40t/ha -1 poultry manure treatment significantly (P < 0.05) increased plant height, stem girth, number of leaves, and leaf area compared to control (poultry manure only). Treatments with 30t/ha -1 and 40t/ha -1 biochar had the lowest weed fresh weight and dry weight. Cyperus rotundus, Oxalis cornoculata and Cynodon nlemfuensis were most economically important weeds scored for their abundance and persistence. Overall, weed control efficiency was lowest in sole 40t/ha -1 poultry manure and 20t/ha - 1 biochar treatment with 18% and 20% compared to 40t/ha -1 and 30t/ha -1 biochar treatment with 35% and 24% respectively. The results demonstrated that combined application of poultry manure and biochar appears essential for a sustainable coffee seedling production in the Western Highlands of Cameroon. However, to enhance coffee seedling growth using biochar, the use of recommended doses is paramount.

      "nursery is located between latitude 5°14'-5°48' N and longitude 10°27'-10°47' E at an altitude of 1100 m above sea level. The area has a montane tropical climate characterised by unimodal annual rainfall distribution of 1713 mm with average temperatures of 21 0C. The soil at the experimental site was an andosol soil type, according to the world reference base for soil classification." (p. 11)

      "Shading net made from nylon with light intensity 50% was used as shading in the nursery." (p. 11)

      "The treatment consisted of a mixture of biochar (0, 20, 30 and 40 tons ha-1) and poultry manure (PM) (recommended 40 tons ha-1application rate)." (p. 11)

      "Biochar was produced under fast pyrolysis at 450 0C with the resident time of 52 min from corn cobs and ricehusk using an Elsa pyrolysis barrel [20, 25]. The biochar was later milled to pass through a 2 mm sieve." (p. 11)

      "Seedlings of Coffea arabica L. cv. Marcellesa with well-developed and straight tap roots were transplanted in to 10 x 20 cm polythene bags at the matchstick or cotyledon (butterfly) stage." (p. 11)

      "All pots were fertilized with urea (46 % N: 0: 0) at 2g/pot in two equal splits i.e. at 12 weeks after planting and 12 weeks later in accordance with the farming practice." (p. 11)

      "At three months after planting, foliar was applied to all pots at 60 g/10 L of water every 15 days until the leaves become dark green." (p. 11)

      "Results in Figure 1 show significant differences in the coffee seedling growth parameters amongst treatments. The coffee seedlings fertilized with biochar and poultry manure treatments had relatively higher (P < 0.05) average number of leaves per plant probably due to the production of many leaves on plagiotropic branches, followed by seedlings fertilised 40 t/ha-1 biochar and 40 t/ha-1 poultry manure which exhibited a non-significant difference in the average number of leaves per plant Figure 1a." (p. 13)

      "The study shows that, the combination of biochar with poultry manure is advantageous over the sole poultry manure amendment providing evidence for biochar poultry manure synergism [11, 31]." (p. 14)

      "According to Schulz and Glaser [9] it could be expected that, poultry manure treatment was rapidly mineralized compared to poultry manure biochar mixtures where nutrient retention was significantly more efficient." (p. 14)

      "Generally, weed infestation was significantly higher (P < 0.05) and more severe in the control (sole 40t/ha-1 poultry manure) treatment compared to the biochar fertilized treatments Figure 2." (p. 14)

      "The results of this study suggest the ability of biochar to reduce weed interference in coffee nurseries." (p. 15)

      "The slow coffee seedling growth from soils amended with 30 and 40t/ha-1 biochar may also be due to the high pH of the biochar (pH 10.42)." (p. 16)

      "The observed significant low weed biomass in the 20t/ha-1 biochar + 40t/ha-1 poultry manure compared to the sole 40t/ha-1 poultry treatment could be due to the formation of a canopy as a result of rapid vegetative growth of the coffee seedlings, providing shade that reduced the growth of important weeds species [27]." (p. 17)

      "The relatively low weed biomass and control efficiency values observed in the 30 and 40t/ha-1 biochar treatment pots could be due to the general slow growth of plants and weed species in these treatments which also explains the reduction in coffee height, leaf area index and stem diameter Figure 1." (p. 17)

      "The application of 20t/ha-1 biochar and 40t/ha-1 poultry manure were observed as the optimum agronomic interventions to harness best foliage production and also reducing weed infestation in coffee nurseries." (p. 17)

    Abstract The purpose of this work were to test tissue culture methodologies of: the anthers culture, the micropropagation and the embryos culture for the coffe cultures "in lives" that belong to the Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA). For that, it was necessary to determine the ideal floral bud size for the obtantion of haploids plants through the anthers culture. Also, to determine in micropropagation: the best concentrations of the growth regulators BAP (6-benzilaminopurina), GA3 (giberelic acid) and TDZ (N-phenil-N-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-iluréia). Finally, in the embryos culture: to determine which were the best concentrations of the growth regulators ANA (naftalenacetic acid) and BAP(6-benzilaminopurine). For the morphologic and cytological evaluations, were used floral buds of 4 cultivates of Coffea arabica: cv.Mundo Novo, Catuaí, Icatú and Rubí. Morphologic and cytological analyses were accomplished, by observing that, for all the genotipes, the microspore non vacuolated (with central nucleus, ideal for the haploids obtained through the anthers culture), happens frequently in floral buds they vary in length from 4,5 to 6,0 mm, anthers varying from 4,5 to 5,5 mm length. For the micropropagation experiments, were used like explants microestacas of cultivating Catuaí, where several combinations were tested among the growth regulators BAP and GA3 (mg/l) and of TDZ and GA3, resulting in a factor 4x5, disposed entirely in a completely randomyzed. To verify the effect of the different combinations of the growth regulators, there were made periodic evaluations with there relationship of the total shoot number, larger sprouts than a centimeter, total leaf number, weight of the fresh and dry matter of the shoot. The best results for the combination of BAP and GA3 were obtained in the absence of GA3 and presence of BAP. For the combination TDZ and GA3, the best results were obtained when the maximum concentration of GA3 was associated to the minimum concentrations of TDZ. In the culture of embryos, were used embryos of the cv. Catuaí, in which combinations were tested among concentrations of the growth regulators ANA and BAP, resulting in a fator 4x4, disposed entirely in a completely randomyzed. For all the characteristics, the best results were observed in the concentration of BAP, the same to 7,40 mg/l, associated ANA’s concentration, the same to 1,0 mg/l. Models of answer surface were used in the micropropagation experiments and embryos culture, for optimize the concentrations of the used growth regulators. This work belongs to the program of improvement of the coffee culture of the Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA).

    Abstract Coffee seeds present slow germination and poor storage potential, which makes it difficult to seedling formation in a suitable time and under climatic conditions favorable to the crop establishment. The propagation of the coffee plant by means of seedlings Coming from Seeds is Still Widely Achieved and Reducing of the Time is highly desirable, aiming at a good establishment of the stand and the reduction of the percentage of replanting. considering that coffee seeds achieve their maximum germination at the green yellowish and red ripe stages, the present work was undertaken with the purpose of testing an alternative to obtain seedlings, by using both berries and seeds at several developmental stages. the experiment It was conducted in the Seedling Nursery of the Coffee Culture Sector at the Federal University of Lavras. The design was in randomized blocks with four replicates and the seedlings were produced in bags with substrate of earth, manure, simple superphosphate and potassium chlorite (standard substrate). Nine sowing treatments were tested by utilizing seeds or berries Coffea arabica L. cv. Ruby: 1) berries at the green stage; 2) berries at the green stage 10 days after harvest; 3) berries at the green yellowish stage; 4) berries until the green yellowish stage 10 days after harvest; 5) berries at the red ripe stage; 6) seeds from red ripe dried berries to 15% of the water content; 7) seeds from red ripe berries dried to 15% and without parchment; 8) seeds from red ripe berries, dried to 15% of water parchment and with a parchment and pre-soaked in water for six days; and 9) seed from red ripe berry, dried to 15% without a parchment and pre-soaked in water for six days. One hundred and forty days after the start of the experiment, the percentage of emergence (E), emergency velocity index (EVI) and the percentage of seedlings with at least one pair of true leaves (TL) were evaluated. One hundred and eighty after the start of the experiment, the evaluation of the seedlings was proceeded by means of the measurements of stem diameter (D), seedling height (H), root system dry matter (RSDM), shoot dry matter (SDM), leaf area (LA)

    Notes:

    • The experiment was carried out in the nursery of the Sector of Coffee Growing/DAG at UFLA, from June to December 2003. Fruits and seeds from Coffea arabica L. cv. Ruby, collected in an experimental field of the University.

      Sowing was carried out in the month of May 2002 consisting of the following treatments: 1) fruits in the green stadium; 2) fruits in the green stage, ten days after the harvest, kept at room temperature; 3) fruits in the green cane stadium; 4) fruits in the green cane stage, ten days after harvest, kept at room temperature; 5) fruits at the cherry stage; 6) cherry seeds pulped in a manual pulper and demucilated by natural fermentation in water at 30ºC for 24 hours, washed and dried to 15% water content; 7) fruit seeds- cherry pulped in a manual pulper and mucilated by natural fermentation in water at 30ºC for 24 hours, washed and dried up to 15% and without parchment; 8) seeds of pulped cherry fruits in a manual pulper and demucilled by natural fermentation in water at 30°C per 24 hours, washed and dried to 15% water content and pre- soaked in water for six days; and 9) fruit seeds cherry pulped in a manual pulper and mucilated by natural fermentation in water at 30ºC for 24 hours, washed and dried up to 15%, without parchment and pre- soaked in water for six days.

      Perforated polyethylene bags were used in the dimensions of 11 x 22 cm, and standard substrate (CFSMG, 1999) consisting of earth, manure, simple superphosphate and potassium chloride.

      After purging the substrate with methyl bromide (GUIMARÃES & MENDES, 1998) and the preparation of the bags, proceeded to direct seeding, by sowing two seeds or one fruit per bag, the which were covered with two centimeters of substrate.

      It is observed by the percentage data of emergence, that seedlings originating from unripe fruits were statistically lower and the other treatments showed no significant differences for this evaluation. These treatments differed only by the speed with which the seeds emerged from the ground.

      The best physiological performance of seeds no parchment was found in all evaluations seedling development.

      Another fact observed in this study was the performance of seedlings originated from fruits at the stage cane green, which were statistically equal to the best treatment (seeds without parchment), in almost all assessments (Table 2).

    Abstract Coffee is one of the most important products on the international market, and through conventional methods, the techniques for improving this species require a relatively long time. This and the resources spent are the limiting factors for obtaining cultivars in a relatively short period. Given this fact, in vitro vegetative multiplication appears as a viable and short-term alternative for solving these problems. The present work aimed to study the shoot induction in nodal segments, observing the influence of the apical bud, the number of buds and inoculation position of the explant of Coffea arabica L. (Catura, Catuaí and Icatu). The explants were from pre-established in vitro plants. For that, we used the culture medium “MS” (MURASHIGE; SKOOG, 1962) supplemented with 3 mg.L -1 of GA 3 + 6 mg.L -1 of BAP. The experiments were incubated in growth rooms at a temperature of 25 ± 1 o C and a photoperiod of 16 hours, under 35 μmol.m -2 .s -1 photosynthetic photon flux. It was concluded that the use of explants without the apical bud, with three pairs of lateral buds and inoculated in the vertical position, favored the shoots in the nodal segments in the tested Coffea arabica L. cultivars.

    Abstract The use of an appropriate transplanting techniques and polythene bags (pot sizes) for cultivars vary from place to place due to lack of information based technology. Therefore, there is a need to determine area specific transplanting techniques for available cultivars. Accordingly, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth response of Coffee arabica cultivars to transplanting methods at Bonga South Western Ethiopia, in 2012/2013 cropping season. The first set of experiment encompasses two experiment factors that were two transplanting methods (bare rooted and ball rooted) and six (Coffea arabica L.) cultivars (75227, 741, 7440, Dessu, 74110 and 74112); their factorial combination was tested using randomized complete block design with three replications. Bare root transplanting methods significantly(p<0.05) increase seedling vigor indices at first true leaf, leaf area index (LAI), internodes length, plant height and root volume (RV) and total biomass (TDW) at early growth stage of Arabica coffee seedlings, however it showed lower survival percentage (52.20% ) after field transplanting. On the other hand, Seedling growth parameters; number of leaf, LAI, plant height, stem girth, root volume and TDW were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by arabica coffee genotypes. TDW increases from 2.65 g and 2.65 g/ seedling to 3.51 g and 3.50 g /seedling for 75227 and 741 open Arabica cultivars, respectively, however, open Arabica coffee cultivar (741) was revealed lower field survival percentage (48.83% ) after field transplanting. Generally, coffee seedling grown under ball rooted transplanting methods were found under good growth performance (93.06% ) after field transplanting. Therefore, among the studied Arabica coffee cultivars 7410, 74112, Dessue and 75227 could be recommended to be raised on ball rooted transplanting methods as an agronomical feasible choice for the study area.

    Abstract Over 30 million coffee growers all over the world face starvation due to low international coffee prices. The impact is very acute in Latin America, which accounts nearly 65% of world coffee production. The current crisis seems to be shaped by changes in consumer preferences as well as low production phenomenon due to caffeine accumulation in coffee plantation soils as a result of decades of monoculture. To turn the present crisis around, a successful strategy for agricultural diversification is required. In response to the crisis, some coffee growers have begun to diversify their coffee plantations with intercalated cultivations of aromatic plants. Herbs are profitable crops and adaptable to the environmental conditions of coffee regions. Due to the complexity of the natural interaction under intercropped systems and the potential allelopathic effects between coffee and aromatic herbs, some questions need to be clarified before this alternative production system can be recommended to growers. Accumulation of caffeine in a soluble form in the soil is regarded as one reason for “low production” and degeneration by auto toxicity of coffee plantations. The use of aromatic species with the ability to take-up and accumulate caffeine may be a way to diminish the toxic levels of this alkaloid and increase coffee production. In this present study, the potential uptake of caffeine by spearmint (Mentha piperita L.), basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), sage (Salvia officinalis L.), and oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) and the allelopathic effects of these herbs on physiological parameters in coffee (Coffea arabica L.) were investigated. Two ecological conditions in rural area of Puebla State, Mexico (2004-2005), as well as laboratory bioassays in Bonn, Germany (2006) were evaluated, to validate the hypothesis that intercropping herbs in coffee production systems is a possibility to attenuate the coffee crisis while positively stimulating coffee plant growth and cup quality, diminishing caffeine content in the soil. To summarize the results: 1. Intercropping sage, spearmint, basil and oregano stimulate the plagiotropic growth of Coffea arabica plants most effectively in young production systems by still unknown mechanisms. 2. Volatiles from essential oils induce stomata opening in coffee leaves, which may have a positive influence on the CO2 fixation and increase of photosynthetic activity when no limiting factors are present. 3. Aromatic species, principally sage and oregano absorb caffeine and can contribute to a diminishing of the caffeine contamination of the soil. 4. Cup quality is improved with spearmint, basil and sage as intercrops, but mechanisms of action are unknown and further research remains to be done. 5. Finally coffee growers can stabilize their income situation and their social condition by offering aromatic plants to the local markets produced during the no-harvest period of coffee (April –November) in between coffee rows.

    Abstract Coffee propagation is performed through seedlings from seeds. However, germination in coffee seed is slow and uneven. Therefore, this work had the objective of studding the physiological aspects of seed germination in Coffea arabica cv. Rubi. There were evaluated effect of light, gibberellins and paclobutrazol (inhibitor of gibberellins biosynthesis) during seed germination. Seeds after treatment with light, gibberellins and paclobutrazol were subjected to electrophoresis analysis of proteins resistant to heat( LEA proteins) and the enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase), determination of sugar content (sucrose, mannose, glucose, fructose, galactose, raffinose and staquiose), the activity of endo-b-mannanase, the enzyme polyphenoloxidase and percentage of polyphenols in each time of imbibition. The speed of seed germination was inhibited in seeds treated with gibberellins. The paclobutrazol decreased speed of seed germination did not decrease the effect of light. Higher speed of germination was observed under absence of light. Regarding the patterns of isoenzymes and proteins there were changes during seed germination. Sucrose and mannose act during seed germination. The enzyme end-b-mannanase increased its activity in seeds imbibed under the presence of light and gibberellins. The enzyme polyphenoloxidase decreased its activity whereas polyphenols increased during germination.

    Abstract It is possible to propagate Coffea arabica L. hybrids in commercial scale through rooting of cuttings. The objective was to verify the rooting of cuttings of three Coffea arabica L. cultivars, in five substrates. Herbaceous cuttings from orthotropics branches, with one bud, two leaves reduced to 1/3 of its size and 8-10 cm length, from Mundo Novo, Catuaí and Icatú cultivars, were planted in sand, earthworm humus, residual coffee machine processing, standard substrate (utilized in seed germination of coffee) and commercial substrate. The statistical design was randomized blocks, in 5 x 3 factorial scheme, with 3 replications and 6 cuttings per plot. Survival cuttings, sprout number, sprout length, dry weight matter of the aerial part, cuttings rooted, roots number and dry weight matter of the roots were the parameters evaluated. Best results were registered when sand, earthworm humus, residual coffee machine processing and the standard substrate were used. Catuaí and Icatú shower better rooting than Mundo Novo.

    Abstract Brazil is the first producer and second consumer of coffee in the world. Besides, coffee production also provides a million direct and indirect jobs throughout the supply chain. To increase productivity and reduce cost in conventional tissue cultures the temporary immersion of somatic embryos in bioreactor system was employed. During this process acclimatization is the key problem to obtain high-quality seedlings that required high cost. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the acclimatization process of coffee somaclones (Coffea racemosa x Coffea arabica) derived from somatic embryogenesis immersed temporarily in bioreactor system (RITA). Embryos derived from leaves of the 'Siriema 05' cultivar coffee (Coffea racemosa x Coffea arabica) were used in this experiment. The acclimatization stage of cotyledon embryos was realized in three experiments: Experiment 1 - Different substrates and size of cotyledon embryos; Experiment 2 - Different substrates and Stimulate concentrations; Experiment 3 - Growth of seedlings in different substrates and Osmocote concentrations. A higher conversion percentage of cotyledonary embryos into seedlings were obtained from embryos grown in the Plantmax medium with vermiculite and Plantmax substrate. Moreover, increasing concentrations of Stimulate and Osmocote to a substrate concentration of 10.9 g L-1 produced better quality seedlings.

    Abstract 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., 2011). Of these, only Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora have significant economic importance. The other species, such as Coffea liberica, 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). The coffee (Coffea sp.) is from the African continent, being C. arabica from the southwest of Ethiopia, Southeast of Sudan and northern of Kenya, and C. canephora from a wide area that extends from India to Congo, from the west coast to the central region of the continent, predominantly in regions of low altitude and higher temperatures (CONAGIN; MENDES, 1961). Currently, the arabica coffee is grown in many parts of the world: in Central and South America, Africa and East Asia; and the coffee worldwide known as robusta coffee, C. canephora, is grown in West and Central Africa, southeast Asia and in some regions of the Americas, with emphasis for Brazil (ECCARDI; SANDALJ, 2002). This latter species, widely geographic distributed, is adapted to the hot and humid regions, and in low areas of rainforest (CHARRIER; BERTHAUD, 1985). In Brazil, it is grown in regions with lower altitude and higher temperature, with an annual average between 22 o to 26 o C. C. canephora is the second most cultivated species of the genus in the world, representing approximately 38% of production, and Espírito Santo stands as the greatest Brazilian producer of this species, designated in the State as conilon coffee. In this chapter, it discourses on an updated review about the origin, geographical dispersion, taxonomy and genetic diversity of the species C. canephora.

    Abstract This work was carried out with the objective of obtaining high effectiveness in indirect somatic embryogenesis in foliar explants of Coffea arabica elite clones. The elite clones embryogenic calli yield potential was evaluated in different media as well as in 2,4-D and 2-iP variations in both primary and secondary media described by Teixeira et al (2004). For the calli multiplication the treatments constituted of two media (stage two medium described by Albarran et al, 2004, and multiplication medium described by Teixeira et al, 2004) and two cultivation systems (solid and liquid). Evaluations were carried out 21, 42 and 63 days after the experiment has been installed, by calli weighing. After the somatic embryos transformation the effect of both IBA and BAP in growth medium (PRM) described by Teixeira et al (2004) was evaluated. Plants produced through somatic embryogenesis were compared, under field conditions, with those originated from seeds. Results show that somatic embryos productions depend on the genotype. Calli induction depends on both the time explants were collected and the 2-iP and 2,4-D relationship. The solid system was more effective in the embryogenic calli multiplication of the clone studied. Taking into account the percentage of both normal and rooted plantlets as well as the aerial part length average values no IBA or BAP addition is needed, in the protocol used, to convert somatic embryos into plantlets. The length of lateral branches of the plants originated from somatic embryogenesis was longer when compared to those originated from seeds. As to the other characteristics evaluated no significant difference was found. No change in the fenotype of plants originated from somatic embryogenesis was noticed by visual inspection. Therefore, the Coffea arabica plants originated from somatic embryogenesis were found to behave similarly to those originated from seeds.

    Abstract Coffea arabica is a woody species that grows in acid soils, where aluminum is available and may affect growth and productivity. To determine the effect of aluminum on primary root growth of C. arabica cv. Typica, seedlings were exposed over 30days to different concentrations of AlCl3 (0, 100, 300 and 500μM) in vitro. The aluminum effect on primary root growth was dose-dependent: low aluminum concentrations (100 and 300μM) stimulated primary root growth (6.98±0.15 and 6.45±0.17cm, respectively) compared to the control (0μM; 5.24±0.17cm), while high concentrations (500μM) induced damage to the root tips and inhibition of primary root growth (2.96±0.28cm). Aluminum (100μM) also increased the K and Ca contents around 33% and 35% in the coffee roots. It is possible that aluminum toxicity resides in its association with cell nuclei in the meristematic region of the root. Additionally, after 30days of treatment with aluminum, two different effects could be observed on phospholipase C (PLC) activity. In shoots, aluminum concentrations ≥300μM inhibited more than 50% of PLC activity. In contrast, in roots a contrasting behavior was determined: low (100μM) and toxic concentrations (500μM) increased the activity of PLC (100%). These results suggest the possible involvement of the phosphoinositide signal transduction pathway, with the phospholipase C enzyme participating in the beneficial and toxic effects of aluminum in plants.

    Abstract Reduced soil fertility has been surpassed by the supply of mineral nutrients, which results in increased rates of plant production and costs. In this context, the optimization of plants’ nutritional efficiency is critical to increase productivity and reduce the cost of agricultural production systems. The nutritional efficiency of plants is conditioned by numerous factors and the growing environment. Therefore, the knowledge of genetic basis and mode of inheritance can assist in selecting genotypes with desirable agronomic characteristics coupled with nutritional efficiency and genetic variability. The trend of expanding agricultural frontiers has increased interest in the use of genotypes with the potential to adapt to adverse conditions of soil fertility. Within crops, the coffee beans are the second most traded commodity in the world. In this sense, optimization of nutritional efficiency of the coffee has a positive impact on the sum of efforts to make sustainable activity. This review aimed to present a systematic analysis of the nutritional efficiency of the coffee. Key words: Nutrient absorption and utilization, root length, genetic variability.

    Abstract Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar o desenvolvimento de mudas de quatro cultivares de cafeeiro arábico, originadas de sementes de plantas submetidas aos níveis de adubação baixo, adequado e alto, em sistema hidropônico com argila expandida. Utilizou-se, para este experimento, sementes de quatro cultivares de cafeeiro arábico (Catuaí, Rubi, Icatu e Acaiá), submetidos a três níveis de adubação. Os níveis baixo e alto de adubação receberam, respectivamente, 0,4 e 1,4 vezes a recomendação feita para o nível adequado. Após a coleta e preparo, as sementes foram germinadas em papel "germitest" e depois de 30 dias foram transplantadas para tubetes de 120 ml preenchidos com substrato comercial. O sistema hidropônico empregado foi de subirrigação com argila expandida (cinasita) onde foram fixados os tubetes. Utilizou-se ainda o delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4 X 3 com 4 repetições e 7 plantas úteis por parcela. Assim que as plantas atingiram 5 a 6 pares de folhas foi medida a altura de plantas, o peso de matéria seca das folhas, caule e sistema radicular. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Duncan. Observou-se que o nível de adubação das plantas matrizes pouco influenciou no crescimento e desenvolvimento das mudas de cafeeiro, no sistema hidropônico. O sistema hidropônico proposto promoveu bom desenvolvimento das respectivas mudas de cafeeiro.

    Abstract The cultivate Apoatã 2258 (Coffea canephora) has been used as a rootstock cultivar of Coffea arabica. However, due to the wide availability of genetic resources found in different regions of the country, there is a vast field to be explored in the research of new genotypes to be used as rootstock. The choice of these materials should be based in combination with the graft and adaptation to the ecosystem where it is inserted.Thus, this study aimed at evaluating the efficiency of absorption, translocation and use of macronutrients in genotypes of C. canephora, to determine their potential of use as rootstocks. Two experiments were carried out in a period of five months in a greenhouse, using the process of hydroponics, growing in pots containing nutrient solution. In the experiment 1 (E1) , treatments included five C. canephora genotypes (Apoatã IAC3598-3B, Apoatã IAC3597-1A, Apoatã IAC3599-2A-1A, Apoatã IAC3598 and Apoatã IAC3597-9B) and two C. arabica cultivars (Palma II and Oeiras), used as rootstock. In experiment 2 (E2), the five C. canephora genotypes described, were cultivated on two types of seedlings (ungrafted and self grafted). Experimental design was factorial (5x2) and it was used the random block design, with five replicates. The genotypes Apoatã IAC3597-1A and Apoatã IAC3597-9B provide higher average uptake, translocation and nutrient use efficiency and they can be considered suitable choices for use as rootstocks.

    Abstract The benefits of mycorrhization occur with the growth of hyphae in colonized roots by promoting an increase of the contact surface which improves the initial growth due to a better absorption of water and nutrients. The objective was to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus clarus inoculation over the initial development and nutritional response of six genotypes of Coffea arabica L. Six genotypes of Coffea arabica L. were used (MGS Aranas, H29-1-8-5, Red Catuai IAC 144, IPR 100, Catigua MG2, Paraíso H 419-1) and with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus - AMF: Rhizophagus clarus and without the application of the fungus. For the production of coffee seedlings, seeds were placed to germinate in plastic trays with sterile sand. After germination, 10 seedlings of each genotype were transferred to 0.120 dm3 polyethylene tubes with substrate. Then the inoculation of five seedlings of each genotype with the AMF R. Clarus was performed. When the seedlings with and without inoculation with the AMF presented six pairs of leaves they were transplanted to 13-liter pots containing soil (Dystrophic red-yellow latosol). The inoculation favored the initial growth of the coffee plants and its intensity varied according to the genotypes. The genotypes H 29-1-8-5, Red Catuai IAC 144 and Catigua MG 2 were the ones that presented higher shoot dry mass, root dry mass, total dry mass and accumulation of P, in relation to MGS aranãs, Paraiso H 419-1 and IPR 100, so they are the most promising to be inoculated with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus.

    Abstract Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of copper on the chemical composition of coffee beans and on the quality of the beverage, relating both of them to the Cu leaf contents in coffee (Coffea arabica) plants. Coffee plants were grown in a hydroponic system containing 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, and 3.2 μmol L-1 Cu until fruit setting. Coffee bean production was evaluated, and, after the cherries were dried, the following characteristics were determined: leaf Cu content; total titratable acidity; color index; electrical conductivity; leached K; polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity; concentrations of caffeine, trigonelline, organic acids, total phenols, chlorogenic acids (3-CQA, 4-CQA, and 5-CQA), sucrose, glucose, arabinose, mannose, and galactose; and sensory quality of roasted beans. Cu increased bean yield, PPO activity, and the concentrations of organic acids, 3-CQA, sucrose, and arabinose. Total titratable acidity, total phenols, 4-CQA, and 5-CQA were reduced with increasing Cu doses. Leaf contents related to the maximum and minimum values of desirable and undesirable quality attributes ranged from 5.6 to 11.4 mg kg-1 Cu, respectively. Copper affects the production and chemical composition of coffee beans, and the attributes related to quality are maximized in plants with low leaf contents of the nutrient.

    Abstract Drought causes crop yield losses and inhibits growth in coffee plants. The morphophysiological responses were investigated of Thai robusta coffee genotypes under water deficit. The seedlings of six robusta coffee genotypes, five local Thai genotypes (SC05, PP01, PP05, SKE06 and TPO17) and a water deficit-tolerant genotype (FRT141) were evaluated under a hydroponics system that simulated water deficit stress using polyethylene glycol (PEG). Morphophysiological parameters were collected 2 wk after stress. The water deficit significantly reduced the mean (± SD) relative water content from 95.3 ± 3.0% in the control to 67.2 ± 6.9% in the stress condition. The mean total leaf water potential was -1.4 ± 0.4 MPa and -0.2 ± 0.1 MPa for the stressed and control plants, respectively. The stressed plants showed significantly decreased stomatal conductance, along with a lower transpiration rate (70–90%) and photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII; 50–80%), which directly affected the net rate of photosynthesis that was almost zero. The number of leaves, total leaf area and total biomass greatly declined after stress. There were significant differences among genotypes. FRT141 had the highest mean number of leaves (29.8 ± 9.0 leaves/plant), total leaf area (912 ± 90 cm2/plant) and total biomass (10.7 ± 2.4 g/plant) under water deficit, indicating that FRT141 was the most tolerant genotype under stress, followed by PP01 and SC05, respectively, while SKE06 and TPO17 were the most sensitive genotypes, respectively, with mean values of 1.3 ± 1.0–2.0 ± 2.0 leaves/plant, 34 ± 28–50 ± 45 cm2/plant and 4.4 ± 2.6–3.1±1.2 g/plant. Furthermore, the tolerant genotypes showed fewer physiological changes, specifically less reduction in the light-adapted quantum efficiency of PSII, electron transport rate and maximum quantum efficiency and less increase in electrolyte leakage in root andleaf cells.

    Abstract The effect of nutrient supply on the caffeine content of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) leaves was investigated. Seeds were germinated in nutrient-agar media lacking N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Zn, B or Mo. The control treatment contained all essential nutrients. The caffeine concentration was determined seven months after seed sowing when the seedlings have 3 to 4 pair of leaves. The omission of K induced the highest caffeine content in the leaves (24.5 g.kg-1). Caffeine in the control treatment was 21.9 g.kg -1. Absence of P induced the lowest content, 17.5 g.kg-1.

    Abstract Photosynthetic and biochemical responses of potted plants of Coffea arabica cv Red Catuaı́ and C. canephora cv Kouillou were examined during winter and summer. There were large decreases in the photosynthetic rates of both cultivars from summer to winter, with more pronounced declines shown by Catuaı́. The photochemical efficiency of photosystem II, as evaluated by the ratio of variable to maximum chlorophyll fluorescence, decreased to a greater extent in Catuaı́ than in Kouillou during winter. This probably was a secondary effect due to the loss of the photosynthetic capacity, which was mostly determined by non-stomatal factors. In response to winter conditions, Kouillou accumulated three times more proline and ascorbate with no changes in the content of malonedialdehyde (MDA). Catuaı́ accumulated 160% more proline and 206% more MDA in winter in comparison to summer values, but there was no significant change in ascorbate levels. The content of chlorophylls and carotenoids did not change in response to natural seasonal acclimation. The leaf starch content in winter was higher by 53% in Catuaı́ than in Kouillou. Photosynthetic rates, as measured by oxygen evolution, were well correlated with starch content in Catuaı́, but not in Kouillou. When winter-grown leaves were darkened for 96 h, their normal starch levels were halved; this was accompanied by the restoration of the photosynthetic rates to levels similar to those found in summer in both cultivars, with a concurrent resumption of the photosystem II efficiency.

    Abstract The ‘intermediate seed’ category was defined in the early 1990s using coffee (Coffea arabica) as a model. In contrast to orthodox seeds, intermediate seeds cannot survive complete drying, which is a major constraint for seed storage and has implications for both biodiversity conservation and agricultural purposes. However, intermediate seeds are considerably more tolerant to drying than recalcitrant seeds, which are highly sensitive to desiccation. To gain insight into the mechanisms governing such differences, changes in desiccation tolerance (DT), hormone contents, and the transcriptome were analysed in developing coffee seeds. Acquisition of DT coincided with a dramatic transcriptional switch characterised by the repression of primary metabolism, photosynthesis, and respiration, and the up-regulation of genes coding for late-embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins, heat-shock proteins (HSPs), and antioxidant enzymes. Analysis of the heat-stable proteome in mature coffee seeds confirmed the accumulation of LEA proteins identified at the transcript level. Transcriptome analysis also suggested a major role for ABA and for the transcription factors CaHSFA9, CaDREB2G, CaANAC029, CaPLATZ, and CaDOG-like in DT acquisition. The ability of CaHSFA9 and CaDREB2G to trigger HSP gene transcription was validated by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of coffee somatic embryos.

      "For germination capacity and DT assays, one pool of 300 seeds was collected at 10-d intervals from 140 to 260 d after flowering (DAF), as described above." (p. 1585)

      "For DT measurement, batches of 50 seeds were desiccated for 20 d at 25 °C in the dark over saturated solutions of KOH (9% RH), K acetate (23% RH), MgCl2 (32% RH), K2CO3 (45% RH), NH4NO3 (62% RH), or (NH4)2SO4 (81% RH)." (p. 1585)

      "3 4 3 4 2 4- bility, zygotic embryo extraction, in vitro culture and viability were then assessed as described in Dussert et al. (2006)." (p. 1585)

      "DT measurement, somatic embryos (SE) were desiccated for 6 h at 25 °C in the dark over saturated solutions of (NH4)2SO4 (81% RH), KCl (85% RH), KNO3 (92% RH), or K2SO4 (97% RH)." (p. 1585)

      "Between 150 and 190 DAF, almost all seeds acquired the capacity to be dried in 62% RH and half of them also became tolerant to drying in 23% RH (Fig. 1B)." (p. 1586)

      "The level of DT of mature coffee seeds was thus mostly gained between 150 and 190 DAF, which corresponds to the transition between stages 5 and 6 according to the anatomic and metabolic criteria defined in previous studies, in which seven stages are distinguished during seed development" (p. 1586)

      "These seven developmental stages can be briefly described as follows (Fig. 1D): from stage 1 to stage 2, the perisperm undergoes significant growth, which determines the final size of the seed; at stage 3, the endosperm develops rapidly and replaces the perisperm in the locule; endosperm growth ends by stage 4 and oil starts to accumulate; stage 5 is characterised by endosperm hardening due to the massive deposition of galactomannans in cell walls; accumulation of reserves ends by stage 6, as illustrated by the transcription pattern of three genes representative of oil (OLE-1), protein (SSP1), and galactomannan (ManS1) storage (Fig. 1D), when the pericarp of the fruit turns yellow; finally, fruit and seed maturity is completed at stage 7, when the pericarp becomes red." (p. 1586)

      "DT is therefore acquired without dehydration in planta in developing coffee seeds." (p. 1593)

      "Transcriptome analysis of developing coffee seeds revealed the existence of a major transcriptional switch coinciding with DT acquisition." (p. 1593)

      "The period that we define as the late maturation stage in coffee seeds starts with this transcriptional switch at the stage 5-6 transition." (p. 1593)

    Abstract Coffee is an important agricultural commodity worldwide. Its quality is influenced by several factors that can damage kernels, changing the product composition, flavor, appearance, and causing weight loss. Mathematical models for estimating the dry matter loss of coffee were not found in scientific literature. This study deals with the calibration and validation of a model for predicting the dry matter loss of coffee beans under different storage times, temperatures and moisture contents. For this, green parchment grain of Coffea arabica (cv Catuaí Vermelho) were used. Measured dry matter losses varied from 0 to 1.2% and the proposed model was accurate when comparing experimental and predicted data (99.8%). Mean bias, absolute and relative errors were −0.001%, 0.026% and 13.6%, respectively, while the root mean square error was 0.066%, evidencing low scattering and high precision. The estimated maximum allowable storage times of coffee beans, based on a 0.5 dry matter loss threshold, varied from 9 years (for temperature and moisture content of 15 °C and 14% d.b.) to 2 days (for temperature and moisture content of 35 °C and 22% d.b.). The proposed model can be easily implemented in computer programs, appearing as an important tool when simulating the drying or aeration processes, as well as for helping in decision making for coffee storage and trading.

      "Dry matter loss also has been successfully used for determining the maximum allowable storage time for grain and seed (Silva, 2018; Al-Yahya, 2001), which depends on a variety of quality thresholds and modifies according to grain type, storage conditions and product processing." (p. 101669)

      "As expected, dry matter loss increased with the storage time and was stronger for high temperatures and moisture contents." (p. 101672)

      "Temperature and moisture content are the two main variables affecting dry matter loss, since respiration of grain bulks is likely to be dominated by the actions of microorganisms attacking the beans." (p. 101672)

      "As other stored commodities, coffee grain may become infested infield or at the processing plant, during transport or storage if adequate postharvest practices are not followed." (p. 101672)

      "For coffee beans with water activity of 0.55 (11% d.b.) dry" (p. 101673)

      "matter losses varied from 0 to 0.005%, while for samples with water activities of 0.65 (14% d.b.) and 0.75 (16% d.b.) the maximum dry matter losses were 0.12 and 1.0%, respectively." (p. 101673)

      "When coffee was stored at safe moisture content (14% d.b.), estimated maximum allowable storage times were 1, 3 and 9 years (12, 36 and 103 months) for temperatures of 35, 25 and 15C, respectively." (p. 101673)

      "The storage of coffee with moisture content of 11% d.b. resulted in maximum allowable storage times of 12, 4 and 1.4 years for temperatures of 15, 25 and 35C, respectively." (p. 101673)

      "These results indicate that coffee deterioration tends to be faster as temperature and moisture content increase, when compared to soybean and wheat." (p. 101673)

      "Additionally, green coffee transportation from the producers to the consuming locations tends to involve a period of enforcedstorage,whichmayreachmanyweeks." (p. 101674)

    Abstract Despite being evolved in shaded environments, most coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is cultivated worldwide under sparse shade or at full sunlight. Coffee is ranked as greatly responsive to climate change (CC), and shading has been considered an important management strategy for mitigating the harmful CC outcomes on the crop. However, there is no information on the effects of enhanced [CO2] (eCa) on coffee performance in response to light availability. Here, we examined how carbon assimilation and use are affected by eCa in combination with contrasting light levels. For that, greenhouse-grown plants were submitted to varying light levels (16 or 7.5 mol photons m−2 day−1) and [CO2] (ca. 380 or 740 μmol mol−1 air) over six months. We demonstrated that both high light and eCa improved growth and photosynthetic performance, independently. Despite marginal alterations in biomass partitioning, some allometric changes, such as higher root biomass-to-total leaf area and lower leaf area ratio under the combination of eCa and high light were found. Stimulation of photosynthetic rates by eCa occurred with no direct effect on stomatal and mesophyll conductances, and no signs of photosynthetic down-regulation were found irrespective of treatments. Particularly at high light, eCa led to decreases in both photorespiration rates and oxidative pressure. Overall, our novel findings suggest that eCa could tandemly act with shading to mitigate the harmful CC effects on coffee sustainability.

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea spp.), a globally traded commodity, is a slow-growing tropical tree species that displays an improved photosynthetic performance when grown under elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]). To investigate the mechanisms underlying this response, two commercial coffee cultivars (Catuaí and Obatã) were grown using the first free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) facility in Latin America. Measurements were conducted in two contrasting growth seasons, which were characterized by the high (February) and low (August) sink demand. Elevated [CO2] led to increases in net photosynthetic rates (A) in parallel with decreased photorespiration rates, with no photochemical limitations to A. The stimulation of A by elevated CO2 supply was more prominent in August (56% on average) than in February (40% on average). Overall, the stomatal and mesophyll conductances, as well as the leaf nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, were unresponsive to the treatments. Photosynthesis was strongly limited by diffusional constraints, particularly at the stomata level, and this pattern was little, if at all, affected by elevated [CO2]. Relative to February, starch pools (but not soluble sugars) increased remarkably (&gt;500%) in August, with no detectable alteration in the maximum carboxylation capacity estimated on a chloroplast [CO2] basis. Upregulation of A by elevated [CO2] took place with no signs of photosynthetic downregulation, even during the period of low sink demand, when acclimation would be expected to be greatest.

    Abstract Caffeine and some catechins in coffee leaves were preliminarily investigated. To make coffee leaf tea, coffee leaves were roasted for 6 min. at 100±10°C and then rolled by hand. Young leaves were roasted again at 100±10°C for 1 hr and 15 min. or until the leaves were dry and crispy. For mature leaves, they were roasted further for 1 hr without rolling. To make fermented coffee leaf tea, both fresh young and mature leaves were crumbled and fermented for 8 hr and then roasted. Caffeine and catechins were determined by HPLC. The following results were obtained for fresh coffee leaves: caffeine, 1.8-3.2 mg/g; epigallocatechin gallate, 5.5-16.4 mg/g; epicatechin gallate, 0.26-0.48 mg/g; epicatechin, 0.27-0.40 mg/g; and catechin, 0.05-0.18 mg/g. The amounts of caffeine and catechins were found to be higher in young leaves than in mature leaves. For coffee leaf tea, a steeping time of at least 5 min. was suggested. It was also found that most of the phenolics were lower in fermented leaves than in non-fermented leaves. © 2017 by Maejo University, San Sai, Chiang Mai, 50290 Thailand.

    Abstract The objective of the present study was to evaluate the interference of water excess in soil on the growth of young coffee plants of the Mundo Novo and Catuaí cultivars.Plants were subjected to the following three different substrate water availability conditions: control (wellwatered), continuous substrate waterlogged, and intermittent substrate waterlogged. Several growthrelated traits were evaluated over the course of 19 weeks. Based on the number and quality of the affected variables from all forms of analyses, the Catuaí cultivar showed greater sensitivity to waterlogging. Both cultivars exhibited growth inhibition in response to substrate waterlogging stress, which was exacerbated by premature leaf dropping.

      "Seedlings from Mundo Novo IAC 379-19 and Red Catuaí IAC 44 cultivars in the stage known as orelha de onça were provided by Foundation Procafé, Varginha Experimental Farm, and they were transferred to a nursery covered with black shading screens (for 30% shade)." (p. 212)

      "After they developed four screens (for 30% shade). d leaves, they were transplanted to perforated black polyethylene bags with dimensions of 15 x 25 cm (diameter x height) and a volume of 4.4 L. The substrate was made from 700 L of sieved subsoil, 300 L of sieved cattle manure, and 5 kg of simple superphosphate and 0.5 kg of potassium chloride (GUIMARÃES et al., 2002)." (p. 212)

      "After the development of eight pairs of fully expanded leaves, the seedlings were subjected to the following three different conditions of water availability in the substrate: (a) seedlings maintained with substrate moisture close to field capacity (FC), which were monitored by the direct method proposed by Souza et al. (2002); (b) continuous waterlogging of the substrate (CW), where the seedlings were placed in buckets with a permanent layer of water covering two-thirds of the height of the polyethylene bag; and (c) intermittent waterlogging of the substrate (IW), where the plants alternately remained for three days under continuous waterlogging and for four days under field capacity throughout the experimental period." (p. 212)

      "Waterlogged soil inhibited coffee seedling growth, and this inhibition was proportional to waterlogging intensity in that seedlings under CW were more affected than those under either IW or FC." (p. 213)

      "Analysis of the dry leaves, stems and roots from both cultivars revealed that until the second month, there were no significant differences between the treatments (Figure 6)." (p. 215)

      "After the end of the stress period, the seedlings of both varieties were left at FC, and after 30 days all of them had recovered their growth and were able to produce new release leaves (data not shown)." (p. 216)

      "These results show that seedlings were able to grow reasonably well for a period of 19 weeks under IW even though the growth occurred at lower rates than those of the control." (p. 216)

      "Under this condition of CRAWFORD, 2004). reated for this study by suspending irrigation for three days after a similar period of waterlogging (IW), the roots had sufficient oxygen to maintain aerobic respiration (VOESENEK et al., 2006)." (p. 216)

      "ing a hypoxic environmentm experiences hypoxia, it redirects its respiration to become anaerobic and consequently has a drop of up to 18 times the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as aerobic respiration, ATP being essential for plant growth and development (LIAO; LIN, 1995)." (p. 216)

      "It is possible that the smaller leaf area of these plants compromised the production of carbohydrates and thus the recovery of energy, even for the seedlings under IW conditions." (p. 217)

      "This finding means that the Catuaí cultivar felt the harmful effects of waterlogging a few days before the Mundo Novo." (p. 217)

      "When comparing the variation in shoot and root dry mass from control seedlings with those that were under stress for five months, one realizes that the roots, followed by the leaves, were most affected." (p. 217)

      "death of fibrous roots after seedlings showed a good ability to tolerate waterlogged soil, as both varieties recovered after a period of time when the soil was at field capacity." (p. 217)

      "The growth and development of Mundo Novo and Catuaí seedlings were affected by substrate waterlogging after 19 weeks of stress. Under these conditions they were unable to increase their dry mass to the same proportion of those that were at field capacity." (p. 217)

    Abstract Low temperature is a major limiting factor for plant metabolism and is often associated to a reduction in crop production, especially in tropical and sub-tropical plants. Low-positive temperatures (chilling) can impair cell metabolism, with strong impacts on membranes and respiratory and photosynthetic machinery. Nevertheless, the exposure to low-positive temperatures during a rather long period may promote the acclimation of plants through a wide range of potential mechanisms, involving complex morphological, metabolic and ultrastructural changes (Hällgreen and Öquist, 1990; Kratsch and Wise, 2000). In fact, some acclimation is possible even in chilling-sensitive plants (Krause, 1994). The maintenance of the production and consumption of sugars, as well as the stabilization of its levels are of upmost importance to cold tolerance (Byrd et al., 1995; Leegood, 1995; Allen and Ort, 2001; Ramalho et al., 2003). In fact, despite some transient changes and imbalances, in the long-term, the restoration of the balance between photosynthesis, carbon metabolism and translocation is essential for a lower cold sensitivity (Hurry et al., 1998). Low temperature stress is of particular importance for coffee crop, since it is known that Coffea arabica and C. canephora species (responsible for ca. 99% of world coffee production) are sensitive to low non-freezing temperatures that often occur in production areas, with a depressing effect on growth, photosynthetic performance and yields (Bauer et al., 1985; Da Matta et al., 1997). Searching for important insights concerning the acclimation ability of Coffea sp., the impact of cold on sugar contents and respiration enzymes was analysed.

      • Statistical analysis - The data were analysed statistically using a two-way ANOVA (significance level of P &lt; 0.05), to evaluate differences between the temperatures and between the species, followed by a Tukey test for mean comparison (95% confidence level).
      • In vitro activities of key enzymes in the mitochondrial respiration pathway - In general, the in vitro activity of PK decreased by the middle of the acclimation period (Fig.1). Thereafter, some ability to recover was observed in all genotypes (except Apoatã), leading to values that do not significantly differ from control plants after the chilling exposure. By this time Catuaí and Icatu showed the highest values of activity, reflecting a higher respiration potential. During the recovery period PK activity did not present further changes.
      • The in vitro activity of MDH (Fig. 1) (a key enzyme of mitochondrial respiration), was also decreased under 18/13ºC (except in C. dewevrei). However, by the end of the acclimation period and after the chilling exposure, a general tendency to recover was observed (except in Apoatã), with Icatu showing the highest increase (46% higher than control) and absolute value.
      • Under rewarming conditions MDH activity in Catuaí and Icatu was similar to that in the control, while in Piatã and particularly in Apoatã significantly lower values were detected.
      • C. dewevrei showed a slowly, but sustained, increase since the beginning of temperature decrease. However, the values were usually the lowest among the studied genotypes.
      • The results suggest a higher tolerance of the respiratory metabolism (analysed through PK and MDH activities) in Icatu and Catuaí genotypes. This constitutes a key feature to overcome the stress effects, since will allow the cells to obtain energy needed to repair and/or synthesis processes. A higher sensitivity was observed in Apoatã and Piatã.

    Abstract Caffeine is the most abundant and important purine alkaloid derived from several important crop, such as coffee, tea, cocoa, guarana, and other plants. In tea and coffee plants, caffeine is predominantly produced in the young buds of leaves and in immature fruits. The effect of light-stimulating caffeine biosynthesis is uncertain, but our results clearly show that light, independent of N-availability, increases caffeine (26%), allantoin (47%), and theophylline (8%) content in plants compared with those grown in a shaded (50% solar irradiation) environment. Caffeine is the major low-molecular-weight nitrogenous compound in coffee plants, and at times, it functions as a chemical defense for new bud leaves. Therefore, the primary question that remains is whether caffeine can serve as a nitrogen source for other metabolic pathways. If so, plants grown under a low nitrogen concentration should promote caffeine degradation, with the consequent use of nitrogen atoms (e.g., in NH3) for the construction of other nitrogen compounds that are used for the plant’s metabolism. Our results provide strong evidence that caffeine is degraded into allantoin at low rates in N-deficient plants but not in N-enriched ones. By contrast, this degradation may represent a significant N-source in N-deficient plants.

    Abstract Remobilization and re-utilization of 15N and 85Rb labelled nitrogen and potassium reserves for new growth and fruit formation was studied under greenhouse conditions using both normal and deficient young coffee plants. It was found that K reserves are used in higher proportion than is stored N by fruits and other organs. The export of N by organs of residence in the normal plants obeyed the following proportions of the total: leaves 47%-58%, branches and flower buds 21%-27%, roots 21%-32%. The corresponding figures in the case of deficient plants were: leaves 49%-65%, branches and flower buds 21%-27%, roots 14%-25%. Re-utilization of K took place in the following proportions in the normal plants: leaves 54%-64%, branches and flower buds 20%-21%, roots 30%-41%. In K deficient plants the figures were: leaves 62%-79%, branches and flower buds 1.2%-4.4%, roots 20%-33%. In tissues formed after the initiation of flowering buds, the demand for N is met by reserves as follows: normal plants: fruits 20.6%-24.8%, leaves 15.6%-19.4%, twigs 19%-20.5%; deficient plants: fruits 43.5%-48.5%, leaves 48.1%-51.9%, twigs 46%-53%. The K needs for new tissues are met in the order: normal plants: fruits 40%-45.8%, leaves 27%-37.6%, twigs 26%-33.1%; deficient plants: fruits 65.7%81.5%, leaves 52.6%-68.4%, twigs 62%-86.1%. Fruits represent the main sink for both N and K. Reutilization of both elements is higher in the case of deficient plants.

    Abstract O estudo da eficiência nutricional de plantas enxertadas de cafeeiro é importante para a seleção de combinações enxerto/porta-enxerto, visando ao desenvolvimento e produção máximos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar, em cultivo hidropônico, a eficiência de absorção, translocação e uso de Ca, Mg e S por mudas enxertadas de Coffea arabica L., influenciada pelo porta-enxerto. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação por um período de 170 dias, em vasos que continham areia, como substrato, e solução nutritiva circulante. Utilizaram-se, como enxerto, quatro genótipos de Coffea arabica L.: as variedades Catuaí Vermelho IAC 15 e Oeiras MG 6851 e as linhagens H 419-10-3-1-5 e H 514-5-5-3, e, como porta-enxerto, três genótipos de C. canephora Pierre et Froenher: Apoatã LC 2258, Conillon Muriaé-1, Robustão Capixaba (EMCAPA 8141) e um genótipo de Coffea arabica L.: Mundo Novo IAC 376-4, além da utilização de quatro pés-francos. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. Os contrastes entre médias compararam as mudas de pé-franco com as associações enxerto/porta-enxerto. A eficiência de absorção, translocação e uso de Ca, Mg e S por mudas enxertadas de cafeeiro variou de acordo com a combinação enxerto/porta-enxerto. Somente a eficiência de translocação de Ca não foi alterada pela combinação enxerto/porta-enxerto. A linhagem H 514-5-5-3 foi beneficiada na eficiência de uso de Mg e produção de matéria seca pelos porta-enxertos Mundo Novo IAC 376-4 e Apoatã LC 2258, e na eficiência de uso de Ca e S apenas pelo Mundo Novo IAC 376-4. , Studies into the nutritional efficiency of grafted coffee plants is essential for the selection of graft/rootstock combinations for a maximum development and production. Our objective was the evaluation of the influence of rootstocks on the efficiency of uptake, translocation and use of Ca, Mg, and S in young Coffee arabica L. plants in hydroponic cultivation. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse and lasted 170 days, using sand as substratum and circulating nutritive solution. Four genotypes of Coffea arabica L. were utilized as grafts: varieties Catuaí Vermelho IAC 15 and Oeiras MG 6851, and lines H 419-10-3-1-5 and H 514-5-5-3. Four non-grafted plants and four rootstocks, which comprised three genotypes of Coffea canephora Pierre et Froenher (Apoatã LC 2258, Conillon Muriaé-1, and Robustão Capixaba (EMCAPA 8141)) and one genotype of Coffea arabica L. (Mundo Novo IAC 376-4), were also studied. The experimental layout was a randomized block design with four replicates. Means of the non-grafted plants and graft/rootstock combinations were compared. The efficiency of uptake, translocation and use of Ca, Mg and S in the young coffee plants varied with the graft/rootstock combinations. Only the translocation efficiency of Ca was not altered by the graft/rootstock combination. Rootstocks Apoatã LC 2258 and Mundo Novo IAC 376-4 brought forth an enhanced use efficiency of Mg and dry matter yield in line H 514-5-5-3, and Mundo Novo IAC 376-4 an improved use efficiency of Ca and S

    Abstract Drought stress is one of the major bottle necks of growth and productivity of Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora pierre ex froehner) in many producing areas the crop. An experiment was carried out to determine the difference among known Robusta coffee clones for rate of vegetative growth and dry matter production and partitioning under water deficit stress condition and to identify drought tolerant materials. Twelve-month-old seedlings of six Robusta coffee clones (IC-2, IC-3, IC-4, IC-6, IC-8 and R-4) were subjected to two irrigation treatments: well-watered control and water-stressed by withholding irrigation for 3 weeks in a rain shelter. Growth response to soil drying and dry matter distribution among plant parts were measured to identify drought tolerant clones. Leaf growth of all the coffee clones was considerably affected by soil drying. There were significant differences noted between clones for the rate of reduction in leaf elongation, total leaf area, specific leaf area (SLA) and dry matter yield under water stress condition. Moreover, rate of survival of coffee plants during drought and recovery upon re-watering at the end of the soil drying period significantly varied with clone. Some of the clones, particularly IC-3 and IC-6, exhibited higher root: shoot ratio (0.493 – 0.613) and total leaf area (900 – 920cm2) and lower SLA (82 – 83 cm2/g) and rate of leaf fall (62 – 71%) than the other clones (with the respective values of 0.413 – 0.447, 160 – 440cm2, 92 – 97 cm2/g, 82 – 92%) under water-stressed condition. These clones (86 – 88%) survived stress and produced new leaves and flowers more rapidly after re-watering than R-4 (37%) and IC-8 (53%). Hence, clones IC-6 and IC-3 exhibited better performances and seemed to be less sensitive to water deficit stress. Drought tolerance attributes in these clones could be linked to some morphological modifications, mainly increased root: shoot ratio and reduced SLA.

    Abstract The effect of two different dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations (50 and 80%) on differentiation of somatic embryos (SE) from cell suspensions of coffee (Coffea arabica cv. Catimor 9722) was analyzed. Two bioreactors CMF-100 (CHEMAP AG) designed for the culture of cells, with 2-l glass vessels and a maximum work volume of 1.8 l were used. Each one was equipped with a gas blending unit (air, O2, N2, CO2) for the control of DO concentration. The inoculation density of embryogenic cells was 1.0 gram of fresh weight per liter (g FW l−1). The number of somatic embryos was greater (71 072 SE l−1) with 80% DO, but the major proportion were globular and heart shaped SE (66 399 SE l−1) and only 6.6% with regard to total was torpedo shaped SE. However, the 50% DO produced the higher number in the torpedo shaped SE (7389 SE l−1) what represented 20.0% with regard to total. Thus, higher concentrations of DO induced globular and heart shaped SE differentiation, but for production of torpedo shaped SE lower concentrations DO are needed. The somatic embryos obtained in the bioreactor with 50% DO showed similar behavior to the somatic embryos obtained in the rotary shaker. After 8 weeks of culture, 49.2% germination was obtained, which allowed a total of 1725 plantlet to be transferred to conditions ex vitro. After 6 months of culture, 89.2% of conversion was achieved and 1539 plants obtained were transferred to field conditions.

    Abstract Coffea (coffee) species are grown in almost all countries along the Equator. Many members of the genus have a large production history and an important role both in the global market and researches. Seeds (Coffeae semen) are successfully used in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to its caffeine and high polyphenol content. Nowadays, the three best-known coffee species are Arabic (Coffea arabica L.), Robusta (Coffea robusta L. Linden), and Liberian coffees (Coffea liberica Hiern.). Even though, many records are available on coffee in scientific literature, wild coffee species like Bengal coffee (Coffea benghalensis Roxb. Ex Schult.) could offer many new opportunities and challenges for phytochemical and medical studies. In this comprehensive summary, we focused on the ethnomedicinal, phytochemical, and medical significance of coffee species up to the present.

    Abstract The rate of dark respiration, at 30 °C, of newly-detached developing coffee fruits, fruit pericarps and seeds is described in relation to their increase in size and dry weight (d.w.). The fruits took up 2 ml O2/g d.w./hr when they started to swell 6–8 weeks after flowering. Between 9 and 17 weeks the fruits expanded rapidly, seed endosperms were formed, and individual fruit d.w. increased to about 200 mg. Oxygen uptake per gram d.w. decreased to 0.5 ml 02/hr, while uptake per fruit increased to about 90μl O2/hr. From 17 weeks after flowering until ripening, at about 30 weeks, the fruits swelled relatively little but increased in d.w. to about 500 mg. Although the respiratory activity of the pericarp and seed tissues decreased greatly, oxygen uptake per fruit remained unchanged (about 90 μl O2/hr). During and after fruit ripening the pericarp increased in size and d.w. and respired more rapidly than before.Changes in the carbohydrate demands of developing coffee fruits are discussed.

    Abstract Coffee quality is strongly influenced by a great number of factors, among which the fruit ripening stage at harvest time has a major influence on this feature. Studies comprising ethylene production and the regulation of ethylene biosynthesis genes during the ripening process indicate that ethylene plays an important role on coffee fruit ripening. Coffee early cultivars usually show a more uniform ripening process although little is known about the genetic factors that promote the earliness of ripening. Thus, in order to better understand the physiological and genetic factors involved in the regulation of ripening time, and consequently ripening uniformity, this study aimed to analyze ethylene and respiration patterns during coffee ripening, as well as to analyze ACC oxidase, an ethylene biosynthesis enzyme, gene expression, in fruits of early (Catucaí 785-15) and late (Acauã) coffee cultivars. Coffee fruits were harvested monthly from 124 days after flowering (end of February), until complete maturation (end of June). Dry matter, moisture content, color, respiratory rate and ethylene production analysis were performed. In silico analysis identified a coffee ACC oxidase gene (CaACO-like) and its expression was analyzed by real-time PCR. Dry matter and relative water content constantly increased and gradually decreased, respectively, during fruit ripening, and the color analysis enabled the observation of the earliness in the ripening process displayed by Catucaí 785-15 and its higher fruit ripening uniformity. The results obtained from the CaACO-like expression analysis and respiration and ethylene analysis suggest that the differences in ripening behavior between the two coffee cultivars analyzed in this study may be related to the differences in their capacity to produce ethylene, with fruits of Catucaí 785-15 and Acauã showing a typical and an attenuated climacteric phase, respectively, which may have lead to differences in their ripening time and uniformity.

    Abstract A study was made on the effect of light and temperature on net photosynthesis, growth and transpiration of Coffea arabica. Net photosynthesis was described as a diffusive process depending on a carbon dioxide gradient and an overall resistance. At a relative low temperature (24 °C), the effect of light on net photosynthesis was comparable with that of most annual agricultural crops. Calculated internal concentration and overall resistance at 0.3 cal cm–2 min–1 were zero p.p.m. and 15 sec cm–1 respectively. Above this temperature each degree rise resulted in an increase of 20 p.p.m. in internal CO2 concentration. This effect alone accounts already for a decrease in dry matter production of approximately 7% per degree centigrade. The increase in internal CO2 was accompanied with an increase of the overall resistance, reducing still more the dry matter production. Low rates of photosynthesis in coffee reported in literature could be explained. Increasing the external CO2 content and thus the CO2 gradient had only a minor effect on photosynthesis. The effect of temperature and light on growth confirmed the conclusions of net photosynthesis research. Since both factors increase transpiration substantially, the water use efficiency decreases strongly with an increase in light and in temperature above 24 °C. The results may have importance for selecting optimum growth conditions for coffee.

    Abstract In contrast to desiccation-tolerant ‘orthodox’ seeds, so-called ‘intermediate’ seeds cannot survive complete drying and are short-lived. All species of the genus Coffea produce intermediate seeds, but they show a considerable variability in seed desiccation tolerance (DT), which may help to decipher the molecular basis of seed DT in plants. We performed a comparative transcriptome analysis of developing seeds in three coffee species with contrasting desiccation tolerance. Seeds of all species shared a major transcriptional switch during late maturation that governs a general slow-down of metabolism. However, numerous key stress-related genes, including those coding for the late embryogenesis abundant protein EM6 and the osmosensitive calcium channel ERD4, were up-regulated during DT acquisition in the two species with high seed DT, C. arabica and C. eugenioides. By contrast, we detected up-regulation of numerous genes involved in the metabolism, transport, and perception of auxin in C. canephora seeds with low DT. Moreover, species with high DT showed a stronger down-regulation of the mitochondrial machinery dedicated to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Accordingly, respiration measurements during seed dehydration demonstrated that intermediate seeds with the highest DT are better prepared to cease respiration and avoid oxidative stresses.

    Notes:

    • Extracted Annotations (10/15/2021, 5:40:54 PM)

      "DT is a complex trait that is mostly genetically determined in the developing seed and is put in place during the late maturation program." (p. 1419)

      "The late maturation program described in coffee seed is therefore qualitatively comparable to that of orthodox seeds." (p. 1419)

      "Seeds at three different maturation stages known to span the acquisition of desiccation tolerance in C. arabica (ST5, ST6, and ST7, Dussert et al., 2018) were collected from three trees of each species from the Biological Resource Center Coffea, Bassin Martin, Reunion Island." (p. 1419)

      "The developmental stages were selected based on marked anatomical and morphological seed and fruit traits that are shared across coffee species, as defined and described previously for C. arabica (Joët et al., 2009; Dussert et al., 2018)." (p. 1419)

      "Briefly, stage 5 is the peak of reserve deposition and corresponds to endosperm hardening due to massive deposition of galactomannans in cell walls, stage 6 coincides with fruit veraison, and stage 7 corresponds to mature" (p. 1419)

      "cherry fruits with red pericarp." (p. 1420)

      "Mature seed lots (50 seeds) of C. arabica, C. canephora, and C. eugenioides were desiccated by equilibration over various saturated salt solutions (K-acetate (23% RH), K2CO3 (45% RH), NH4NO3 (62% RH), and (NH4)2SO4 (81% RH)) for 20 d at 27 °C in the dark, as previously described (Dussert et al., 2000)." (p. 1420)

      "0 d at 27 °C in the dark, as previously described (Dussert et al., 2000). 18 g of vermiculite fully imbibed with 50 ml of sterile water in closed plastic boxes (Magenta, Chicago, IL, USA). After 6 weeks of culture at 27 °C in the dark, successful seed germination was scored (emergence of the hypocotyl and radicle geotropic growth)." (p. 1420)

      "Mature seeds of C. eugenioides and C. arabica were tolerant to relatively intense dehydration, with almost no loss of viability noticed when dried up to 23% RH (Fig. 1A). For both species, the equilibrium relative humidity at which 50% of the initial viability was lost, RH50, was lower than 10%." (p. 1421)

      "By contrast, 50ed significantly higher desiccation sensitivity. They could only withstand mild drying without noticeable loss of viability, i.e. drying at 62% RH, and did not survive drying at 23% RH." (p. 1421)

      "Finally, a third cluster (C3) included 571 genes specific to a desiccation-sensitive context, i.e. genes that are up-regulated during late maturation in C. canephora seeds, and whose expression is concomitantly lower in both C. arabica and C. eugenioides desiccation-tolerant seeds (Fig. 4)." (p. 1426)

      "The Mapman functional classes over-represented within this cluster are mainly related to nitrogen metabolism, tocopherol biosynthesis, and translational" (p. 1426)

      "control (Supplementary Table S8)." (p. 1426)

      "Phytohormone profiling detected only faint amounts of active molecules in mature seeds and no significant differences among the three species studied (Supplementary Table S14)." (p. 1427)

      "our survey highlighted key genes involved in hormone sensing, predominantly in desiccation-sensitive seeds (Supplementary Table S7)." (p. 1427)

      "This gene composition fingerprint suggests increased hormone sensitivity in desiccation-sensitive seeds, especially for auxin and cytokinin, while desiccationtolerant seeds displayed higher expression (C1) for NHL6 (Cc05_g06810), a mediator of ABA signaling in Arabidopsis" (p. 1427)

      "Similar levels of phytohormones in mature seeds do not exclude the possibility that desiccation-tolerant and -sensitive species integrate and respond to the hormone signals differently." (p. 1428)

      "However, the interspecific transcriptome comparison revealed fundamental differences in the regulation of mitochondrial energy metabolism between desiccation-tolerant and desiccation-sensitive seeds." (p. 1428)

      "This transcriptional fingerprint suggests a slow-down of the machinery dedicated to oxidative phosphorylation, i.e. ATP production, without necessarily affecting the electron transfer chain operability. By contrast, desiccationsensitive" (p. 1428)

      "Respiration rates, estimated as CO2 release, were measured on mature seeds of the three coffee species at various moisture contents upon dehydration (Fig. 7). Within the 0.6-0.8 g H2O g−1 DM hydration window, all seeds displayed roughly equivalent respiratory activities. Upon desiccation, C. arabica and C. eugenioides seeds displayed a smooth reduction in respiration rate until ceasing detectable respiration at approximately n-sensitive C. canephora seeds, however, had a biphasic mode of respiration, initially displaying rather stable respiration rates between 0.8 and 0.4 g H2O g−1 DM. Below this threshold C. canephora seeds experienced drastic reduction in respiration rate that remained significantly higher than that measured for C. arabica and C. eugenioides seeds (Fig. 7)." (p. 1428)

      "A  large number of processes associated with late maturation are conserved among the three species, as demonstrated through functional enrichment analysis. This suggests a late maturation phase has been conserved during the course of Coffea evolution independently of DT levels." (p. 1429)

      "These transcriptomic differences observed between desiccation-tolerant and -sensitive coffee seeds appear to reflect the potential to slow down metabolism and respiration during dehydration rather than an actual slow-down phase during maturation since measured respiration rates in non-dehydrated mature seeds were similar among the three coffee species (Fig. 7)." (p. 1430)

      "This mechanism could be shared with intermediate seeds displaying relatively low DT levels. Given that ROS‐provoked mitochondria‐dependent cell death has also been recently described for hydrated orthodox elm seeds under detrimental artificial ageing conditions (Wang et al., 2015), it defines mitochondria and the regulation of respiratory processes as universal targets of seed sensitivity to stress." (p. 1430)

      "However, during their dehydration we observed striking differences in respiration rates. A better preparation or coordination of down-regulation of metabolism in desiccation-tolerant seeds during drying could play an important role in avoiding or limiting oxidative stress conditions and/or accumulation of by-products of metabolism to toxic levels." (p. 1430)

      "However, it is considered that at intermediate water contents the metabolism that occurs is unregulated, and there is evidence of damaging reactions that are probably free radical-mediated occurring in this water-content range" (p. 1430)

    Abstract Diurnal variations in net photosynthetic rate (PN), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (gs), internal CO2 concentration (Ci), and water use efficiency (WUE) were studied on individual leaves of coffee plants to determine the effect of climatic factors on photosynthetic capacity. PN and E showed bimodal behaviour with the maximum values of PN at mid-morning. At noon, under saturating photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and high leaf temperature (Tl), PN declined. In the afternoon (14:00), PN slightly recovered in association with a decrease in Tl and in leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit (VPD). Reductions in E during the morning were associated with decreases in gs. Higher WUE in the morning was related to higher PN and lower E. The reverse occurred in the afternoon. Goudriaan's simulation model, adapted for coffee canopy photosynthesis, was tested at the level of whole plant (Ppl). Three methods were used: (a) Whole plant net photosynthesis (Ppl) under semi-controlled conditions in a chamber. (b) Ppl estimation following Goudriaan's method (Gaussian integration) of instantaneous PN in single leaves at three canopy depths and at three different hours assuming a photosynthesis unimodal behaviour. (c) Ppl using Goudriaan's method but at five different hours according to the bimodal behaviour reported above. Results of Ppl estimates using Goudriaan's model adapted for coffee canopy confirm the observed Ppl bimodal behaviour with high fitness degree of the measured whole plant photosynthesis. The high fitness found among observed and simulated data indicates that the modified model may be used as a subroutine for the general simulation model of coffee crop growth.

    Abstract In the leaves of Coffea arabica L., purine alkaloid formation was estimated by analyzing the theobromine and caffeine content and by measuring the methylation rate of [2-14C]theobromine to [2-14C]caffeine in short-term experiments (6–24 h). At the same time, growth (in terms of dry weight and area), net photosynthesis (NPS), and dark respiration were determined. During leaf development, which was considered to be terminated when NPS was at a maximum (60–80 μmol g-1 s-1) and dark respiration at a minimum (5–7.5 μmol g-1 s-1), the content of theobromine and the velocity of caffeine formation were both found to decrease by a factor of more than 100. The close correlation between the theobromine content and the methylation rate is suspended when purine alkaloid formation is influenced by factors other than leaf development. Among these factors, temperature is the most effective: the velocity of caffeine biosynthesis is increased by raising the temperature and vice versa. Although the plants were well irrigated, a drastic decrease of NPS in the afternoon was observed under all environmental conditions tested. Light saturation was reached between 170–360 μmol m-2 s-1. The temperature optimum of NPS was shown to be very broad (24–33°C)m provided the adaptation time was sufficiently long.

    Abstract It has long been held that the low photosynthetic rates (A) of coffee leaves are largely associated with diffusive constraints to photosynthesis. However, the relative limitations of the stomata and mesophyll to the overall diffusional constraints to photosynthesis, as well as the coordination of leaf hydraulics with photosynthetic limitations, remain to be fully elucidated in coffee. Whether the low actual A under ambient CO2 concentrations is associated with the kinetic properties of Rubisco and high (photo)respiration rates also remains elusive. Here, we provide a holistic analysis to understand the causes associated with low A by measuring a variety of key anatomical/hydraulic and photosynthetic traits in sun- and shade-grown coffee plants. We demonstrate that leaf hydraulic architecture imposes a major constraint on the maximisation of the photosynthetic gas exchange of coffee leaves. Regardless of the light treatments, A was mainly limited by stomatal factors followed by similar limitations associated with the mesophyll and biochemical constraints. No evidence of an inefficient Rubisco was found; rather, we propose that coffee Rubisco is well tuned for operating at low chloroplastic CO2 concentrations. Finally, we contend that large diffusive resistance should lead to large CO2 drawdown from the intercellular airspaces to the sites of carboxylation, thus favouring the occurrence of relatively high photorespiration rates, which ultimately leads to further limitations to A.

    Abstract Phenotypic plasticity to light availability was examined at the leaf level in field-grown coffee trees (Coffea arabica). This species has been traditionally considered as shade-demanding, although it performs well without shade and even out-yields shaded coffee. Specifically, we focused our attention on the morpho-anatomical plasticity, the balance between light capture and excess light energy dissipation, as well as on physiological traits associated with carbon gain. A wide natural light gradient, i.e., a diurnal intercepted photon irradiance differing by a factor of 25 between the deepest shade leaves and the more exposed leaves in the canopy, was explored. Responses of most traits to light were non-linear, revealing the classic leaf sun vs. leaf shade dichotomy (e.g., compared with sun leaves, shade leaves had a lower stomatal density, a thinner palisade mesophyll, a higher specific leaf area, an improved light capture, a lower respiration rate, a lower light compensating point and a limited capacity for photoprotection). The light-saturated rates of net photosynthesis were higher in sunlit than in shade leaves, although sun leaves were not efficient enough to use the extra light supply. However, sun leaves showed well-developed photoprotection mechanisms in comparison to shade leaves, which proved sufficient for avoiding photoinhibition. Specifically, a higher non-photochemical quenching coefficient was found in parallel to increases in: (i) zeaxanthin pools, (ii) de-epoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle, and (iii) activities of some antioxidant enzymes. Intracanopy plasticity depended on the suite of traits considered, and was high for some physiological traits associated with photoprotection and maintenance of a positive carbon balance under low light, but low for most morpho-anatomical features. Our data largely explain the successful cultivation of the coffee tree in both exposed and shade environments, although with a poor resource-use efficiency in high light.

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is an important global commodity grown in tropical areas where increased drought severity and frequency are believed to become progressively important due to climate changes. Nonetheless, elevated air [CO2] is thought to be able to mitigate heat and drought stresses. In this study, we tested how carbon assimilation and use are affected by elevated [CO2] in combination with a progressive drought, and how this could impact shifts on biomass accumulation and partitioning. For that, we cultivated coffee plants in open top chambers under greenhouse conditions. Plants grown in 12-L pots were then submitted to ambient (386 ± 20 ppm) or elevated (723 ± 83 ppm) [CO2] during approximately seven months, as well as to varying soil water availabilities (100, 50, 37.5, 25 or 20 % of soil field capacity). Our results demonstrate that elevated [CO2] improved carbon assimilation rates (>60 %) with unaltered stomatal conductance and no signs of photosynthetic downregulation. This was accompanied by increases in water-use efficiency, respiration rates and biomass accumulation regardless of watering, and decreased photorespiration rates and oxidative pressure under drought. Improved growth under elevated [CO2] was more evident under drought than under full irrigation, and was unlikely to have been associated with global changes on hormonal pools, but rather with shifts on carbon fluxes. Finally, elevated [CO2] promoted key allometric adjustments linked to drought tolerance, e.g., more biomass partitioning towards roots with greater root length.

    Abstract Brazilian coffee cultivation has been expanding into areas of low fertility soils, many times subjected to low water availability, where the use of nitrogen fertilizers is high. To evaluate the effect of water stress on nitrate uptake and on the expression of genes that encode the nitrate uptake and assimilation we have done three experiments with Coffea arabica L. plants. The first was an 8 × 2 factorial (eight coffee cultivars x with or without water stress), with three replicates. We obtained the kinetic parameters of nitrate uptake. The second and third experiments consisted of 2 × 2 (two cultivars x with or without water stress) factorials. One of them was conducted with adequate supply of nitrogen and the other with omission of N. The transcriptional profiles of the genes NRT1.2, NRT3.2, NIA2, GLT, and GLN1.3 were analyzed. Water stress decreased Vmax (maximum velocity of absorption), Km (Michaelis-Menten constant), and Cmin (external concentration at which net uptake of ions is zero) in all cultivars. The cultivar Catuaí Amarelo IAC 62 stood out with high Vmax and low Km in both conditions, and the Cultivar Mundo Novo IAC379-19, although with low Vmax, had low Km and low Cmin, without changes under water stress. In plants under water stress, the genes NRT1.2, NRT3.2, NIA2, and GLT showed higher differential transcription in root systems. GLN1.3 gene had higher relative expression in the shoots. Under water stress, the relative expression of these genes was higher in Mundo Novo IAC 379-19 than in Catuaí Amarelo IAC 62 in both nitrogen doses.

    Abstract Net photosynthetic CO2 exchange of 1-year-old plants of Coffea arabica L. was studied after the above-ground parts had been exposed once or repeatedly to night temperatures in the chilling range. Chill-reduced rates of CO2 uptake (measured at 24°C and at natural CO, level) were observed after a 12 h night exposure to about 6°C. After exposure to 4°C, activity was reduced to less than half of that of the controls, and after exposure to 0.5°C the leaves suffered visible necrotic injury and were no longer able to take up Co2 If the leaves were not lethally injured, net photosynthesis recovered completely within 2 to 6 days. About 25% of chill-induced reduction of CO2 uptake was due to reduced stomatal aperture and 75% to impairment of carboxylation efficiency. Chilling on successive nights at 4–6°C reduced CO, uptake progressively on each day following treatment. After 10 nights, activity was decreased to less than 10% of initial performance. Conditioning at temperatures slightly above the chilling level (e.g. 15/I2°C) for 2 weeks led to almost complete impairment of photosynthetic activity without additional chilling stress instead of improving chilling tolerance.

    Abstract Given future climate predictions of increased temperature, and frequency and intensity of heat waves in the tropics, suitable habitat to grow ecologically, economically, and socially valuable Coffea arabica is severely threatened. We investigated how leaf age and heat stress duration impact recovery from heat stress in C. arabica. Treated plants were heated in a growth chamber at 49°C for 45 or 90 min. Physiological recovery was monitored in situ using gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence (the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence, FV/FM), and leaf nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) on mature and expanding leaves before and 2, 15, 25, and 50 days after treatment. Regardless of leaf age, the 90-min treatment resulted in greater FV/FM reduction 2 days after treatment and slower recovery than the 45-min treatment. In both treatments, photosynthesis of expanding leaves recovered more slowly than in mature leaves. Stomatal conductance (gs) decreased in expanding leaves but did not change in mature leaves. These responses led to reduced intrinsic water-use efficiency with increasing heat stress duration in both age classes. Based on a leaf energy balance model, aftereffects of heat stress would be exacerbated by increases in leaf temperature at low gs under full sunlight where C. arabica is often grown, but also under partial sunlight. Starch and total NSC content of the 45-min group significantly decreased 2 days after treatment and then accumulated 15 and 25 days after treatment coinciding with recovery of photosynthesis and FV/FM. In contrast, sucrose of the 90-min group accumulated at day 2 suggesting that phloem transport was inhibited. Both treatment group responses contrasted with control plant total NSC and starch, which declined with time associated with subsequent flower and fruit production. No treated plants produced flowers or fruits, suggesting that short duration heat stress can lead to crop failure.

    Abstract Over the last decades, most information on the mechanisms underlying tolerance to drought has been gained by considering this stress as a single event that happens just once in the life of a plant, in contrast to what occurs under natural conditions where recurrent drought episodes are the rule. Here we explored mechanisms of drought tolerance in coffee (Coffea canephora) plants from a broader perspective, integrating key aspects of plant physiology and biochemistry. We show that plants exposed to multiple drought events displayed higher photosynthetic rates, which were largely accounted for by biochemical rather than diffusive or hydraulic factors, than those submitted to drought for the first time. Indeed, these plants displayed higher activities of RuBisCO and other enzymes associated with carbon and antioxidant metabolism. Acclimation to multiple drought events involved the expression of trainable genes related to drought tolerance and was also associated with a deep metabolite reprogramming with concordant alterations in central metabolic processes such as respiration and photorespiration. Our results demonstrate that plants exposed to multiple drought cycles can develop a differential acclimation that potentiates their defence mechanisms, allowing them to be kept in an ‘alert state’ to successfully cope with further drought events.

    Abstract The degradation of xanthine was studied in young and aged leaves and in immature and mature fruits of Coffea arabica and Coffea dewevrei, which differ with respect to caffeine catabolism. Radioisotope feeding experiments showed that leaves degraded xanthine more readily than fruits but that mature fruits and aged leaves were less efficient than younger tissues. In all cases, a significant part of the recovered radioactivity was in the ureides. Xanthine dehydrogenase was characterized as the enzyme responsible for xanthine degradation, and its activity and that of uricase were consistent with the results obtained in the radioisotope feeding experiments. Activities of allantoinase and allantoate amidohydrolase could not be detected. Considerable levels of endogenous allantoin and allantoic acid were found in fruits and leaves. Therefore, ureide accumulation might be a consequence of low enzyme activity. There was no positive correlation between urease activity and the data from the radioisotope feeding experiments. Keywords: Allantoic acid; allantoin; Coffea arabica; Coffea dewevrei; uric acid; xanthine.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: In Brazil, the usual forms of zinc (Zn) supply to coffee plants have limitations that compromise the element availability to the plant. This study proposes to test an alternative approach to supplying the nutrient to Coffea arabica L. using trunk implanted zinc tablets. Additionally, the effect of Zn on the production and quality of coffee beans was also evaluated. RESULTS: The highest total coffee bean production was recorded in plants implanted with Zn tablets (TA), while the lowest was recorded in the control treatment, without zinc supply (WZn), reaching a bianual production of 188.2 and 130.1 60-kg bags of processed beans per hectare, respectively. In the treatments where Zn were applied as tablet implantation or as foliage spraying (SZn); the bean size was larger, while the grain electrical conductivity and potassium leaching were lower compared with WZn. CONCLUSION: Zn supply via tablet implantation into tree trunks provides yield and quality similar to those obtained by foliage spraying. Independent of the form of supply, Zn positively influences the production and quality of coffee beans. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry

    Abstract Besides its importance in the coffee tree nutrition, there is almost no information relating zinc nutrition and bean quality. This work evaluated the effect of zinc on the coffee yield and bean quality. The experiment was conducted with Coffea arabica L. in "Zona da Mata" region, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Twelve plots were established at random with 4 competitive plants each. Treatments included plants supplemented with zinc (eight plots) and control without zinc supplementation (four plots). Plants were subjected to two treatments: zinc supplementation and control. Yield, number of defective beans, beans attacked by berry borers, bean size, cup quality, beans zinc concentration, potassium leaching, electrical conductivity, color index, total tritable acidity, pH, chlorogenic acids contents and ferric-reducing antioxidant activity of beans were evaluated. Zinc positively affected quality of coffee beans, which presented lower percentage of medium and small beans, lower berry borer incidence, lower potassium leaching and electrical conductivity, higher contents of zinc and chlorogenic acids and higher antioxidant activity in comparison with control beans.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate growth alterations and water relations in coffee plants (Coffea arabica L.) at the initial stage of development, grown in nutritive solution (hydroponics) and submitted to a wide variation of P doses. The various doses of P applied to the coffee plants similarly affected the growth characteristics evaluated (number of leaves, height, total leaf area, and dry and green mass accumulation), fitting a logarithmic model, with a direct relationship between P doses and growth. The logarithmic model was also fitted to the leaf water potential module, evaluated in the pre-dawn period and at noon. However, the direct relationship between P doses and water potential was only verified for determinations made at noon; the opposite behavior occurred with readings made in the pre-dawn period, since values decreased as P doses increased. Interactions between P and N nutritional status as well as between P and the water status of plants are discussed, with emphasis on the importance of future investigations.

    Abstract Abstract Nitrogen (N) is quantitatively the main nutrient required by coffee plants, with acquisition mainly by the roots and mostly exported to coffee beans. Nitrate (NO3–) and ammonium (NH4+) are the most important inorganic sources for N uptake. Several N transporters encoded by different gene families mediate the uptake of these compounds. They have an important role in source preference for N uptake in the root system. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis, including in silico expression and phylogenetic analyses of AMT1, AMT2, NRT1/PTR, and NRT2 transporters in the recently sequenced Coffea canephora genome. We analyzed the expression of six selected transporters in Coffea arabica roots submitted to N deficiency. N source preference was also analyzed in C. arabica using isotopes. C. canephora N transporters follow the patterns observed for most eudicots, where each member of the AMT and NRT families has a particular role in N mobilization, and where some of these are modulated by N deficiency. Despite the prevalence of putative nitrate transporters in the Coffea genome, ammonium was the preferential inorganic N source for N-starved C. arabica roots. This data provides an important basis for fundamental and applied studies to depict molecular mechanisms involved in N uptake in coffee trees.

    Abstract Comparativamente ao pé-franco, a combinação enxerto/porta-enxerto altera os complexos mecanismos de "feedback" entre parte aérea e raízes, afetando de maneira positiva ou negativa a eficiência nutricional da planta. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar, em cultivo hidropônico, a eficiência da absorção, translocação e utilização de Zn, Cu e Mn por mudas de Coffea arabica L., de acordo com o porta-enxerto utilizado. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, por um período de 170 dias, em vasos que continham areia como substrato, recebendo solução nutritiva circulante. Utilizaram-se, como enxerto, quatro genótipos de C. arabica: os cultivares Catuaí Vermelho IAC 15 e Oeiras MG 6851 e os híbridos 'H 419-10-3-1-5' e 'H 514-5-5-3' , e, como porta-enxerto, quatro genótipos, sendo três de Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froenher: Apoatã LC 2258, Conilon Muriaé-1 e RC EMCAPA 8141 (recombinação entre clones da variedade Robustão Capixaba - EMCAPA 8141) e uma linhagem de Coffea arabica L.: Mundo Novo IAC 376-4, além de quatro pés-francos. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com 20 tratamentos, quatro repetições e uma planta por parcela. A eficiência nutricional das mudas quanto ao Zn, Cu e Mn variou de acordo com a combinação enxerto/porta-enxerto. A progênie 'H 514-5-5-3' foi mais eficiente quanto à utilização de Zn, Cu e Mn e produção de matéria seca, quando combinada com os porta-enxertos Apoatã LC 2258 e Mundo Novo IAC 376-4. O Catuaí Vermelho IAC 15 foi mais eficiente na utilização de Cu e Mn quando combinado com Apoatã LC 2258.

    Abstract Rust, caused by Hemileia vastatrix, is the main disease that decreases coffee production in Brazil. New and enhanced methods to reduce rust intensity that can be integrated with modern genetic and chemical approaches need to be investigated. Considering that many plant species supplied with silicon (Si) show increased resistance to several pathogens, this study examined the possible effect of this element in increasing chlorogenic acid (CA) concentrations in coffee leaves and, consequently, increasing the level of resistance to rust. Plants (cv. "Catuaí Vermelho IAC 44") were inoculated with H. vastatrix after growing for 35 days in a hydroponic culture amended with 0 (-Si) or 2 (+Si) mM Si. Concentration of Si in leaf tissues was of 0.36 and 0.42 dag/kg for -Si and +Si treatments, respectively, but without a statistically significant difference. The area under rust progress curve was 154.5 and 119.4 for -Si and +Si treatments, respectively, but without significant statistical difference. For non-inoculated plants, the concentrations of total CA and caffeoyl-quinic acid (CQA)compounds (diCQA) were similar between -Si and +Si treatments. Even though there was an increase of 236.4 and 257.1%, respectively, for total CA and diCQA for +Si when compared to -Si treatment at 30 days after inoculation with H. vastatrix, reduction on rust severity was not obtained once the fungus had already colonized the leaf tissues. Therefore, regardless of the increase in the concentrations of chlorogenic acid on leaves, coffee resistance to H. vastatrix infection was not potentialized by Si.

    Abstract Overexpression of SHINE gene induces the expression of these stress- related genes under normal growth conditions in transgenic plants and then confers the improved tolerance to drought. In recent years rapid procedures for obtaining transgenic roots have been developed using Agrobacterium rhizogenes, leading to the production of so-called “composite plants” comprising a transgenic hairy root system attached to non-transformed shoots and leaves. In the chapter II was determined the effect of (over)expression of the Arabidopsis SHN2 gene in stable and/or chimeric transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica rapa plants subjected to drought treatment. In the chapter III was developed an efficient method for coffee genetic transformation by A. rhizogenes in order to create chimeric C. arabica (Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144) with wild-type shoots and transgenic roots for rapid testing of potentially interesting gene construct for future stable transformation using A. tumefaciens or A. rhizogenes and in the chapter IV was expressed the SHN2 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana in transgenic hairy roots of Coffea arabica after Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated root transformation in order to improve the drought tolerance of such chimeric plants. 50% of the 35S::SHN2 chimaric transgenic Arabdopsis plants exposed to 10 days withholding water and rewatered for one week recovered the drought treatment. In the coffee transformation 42% of hypocotyls infected A. rhizogenes contained pREDRoot plasmid had at least one transgenic roots and hypocotyls infected with A. rhizogenes contained pMOG22-35S::SHN2 and showed 32% of transformation. In the coffee drought experiment the DsRED (control) chimeric plants did not recover from the 15-day dehydration treatment and completely dried out all while the 35S:SHN2 chimeric plants recovered and become greener and stronger.

    Abstract The study aimed at identifying the best varieties among the four Robusta coffee varieties in terms of N, P and K nutrients use efficiency, absorption efficiency and translocation efficiency. First, a survey was conducted to determine the fertility status of the coffee growing areas in eight villages namely Igomba, Kiilima, Katangalala, Mishozi, Katale, Bugabo, Bulinda and Bugaruka. Then, a screen house pot experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Design in a 3x4 factorial scheme with three rates of N, P and K; Urea (0, 150, 300 kg N/ha equivalent to 0, 75, 150 mg N/kg of soil), TSP (0, 75, 150 kg P/ha equivalent to 0, 37.5, 75 mg P/kg of soil) and KCl (0, 150, 300 kg K/ha equivalent to 0, 75, 150 mg K/kg of soil) and four Robusta coffee varieties (MR 10, BK 27, ML 2 and 13/61). After 6 months, the whole plants were uprooted, washed and roots separated from the aerial parts for determination of shoot dry matter and root dry matter, and N, P and K contents in the whole coffee plants. Nutrient use efficiency, nutrient absorption efficiency and nutrient translocation efficiency for N, P and K were calculated. Results indicated that the overall soil fertility status of the surveyed areas were generally low, with low pH ranged from 4.12 to 5.53, organic carbon ranged from 0.09% to 2.25%, total nitrogen range from 0.056 to 0.192 %, available P ranged from 20.21 to 68.29 mg/kg and potassium ranged from 0.11 to 1.81 cmol (+) kg-1. The varieties MR 10, BK 27 and 13/61 are most efficient in low nitrogen. Varieties BK 27 and 13/61 are most efficient in low soil P and K. Varieties which are more responsive and efficient to absorb translocation and use the added nutrients' elements and hence can adapt to low soil fertility areas are BK 27, 13/61 and MR 10. In order to improve the production level of coffee in Kagera, distribution of the most responsive varieties should be the first priority.

    Abstract Coffee is one of the world’s most traded agricultural products. Modeling studies have predicted that climate change will have a strong impact on the suitability of current cultivation areas, but these studies have not anticipated possible mitigating effects of the elevated atmospheric [CO2] because no information exists for the coffee plant. Potted plants from two genotypes of Coffea arabica and one of C. canephora were grown under controlled conditions of irradiance (800 μmol m-2 s-1), RH (75%) and 380 or 700 μL CO2 L-1 for 1 year, without water, nutrient or root development restrictions. In all genotypes, the high [CO2] treatment promoted opposite trends for stomatal density and size, which decreased and increased, respectively. Regardless of the genotype or the growth [CO2], the net rate of CO2 assimilation increased (34-49%) when measured at 700 than at 380 μL CO2 L-1. This result, together with the almost unchanged stomatal conductance, led to an instantaneous water use efficiency increase. The results also showed a reinforcement of photosynthetic (and respiratory) components, namely thylakoid electron transport and the activities of RuBisCo, ribulose 5-phosphate kinase, malate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase, what may have contributed to the enhancements in the maximum rates of electron transport, carboxylation and photosynthetic capacity under elevated [CO2], although these responses were genotype dependent. The photosystem II efficiency, energy driven to photochemical events, non-structural carbohydrates, photosynthetic pigment and membrane permeability did not respond to [CO2] supply. Some alterations in total fatty acid content and the unsaturation level of the chloroplast membranes were noted but, apparently, did not affect photosynthetic functioning. Despite some differences among the genotypes, no clear species-dependent responses to elevated [CO2] were observed. Overall, as no apparent sign of photosynthetic down-regulation was found, our data suggest that Coffea spp. plants may successfully cope with high [CO2] under the present experimental conditions.

    Abstract Young coffee plants (Coffea arabica L. cv. Catuaí), originally from a shaded habitat, were separated in three groups to be grown under different levels of N fertilization: 0.3 mmol N supplements were given to the soil every 7 days (high N treatment, 2N), every 15 days (medium N treatment, 1N) and every 45 days (low N treatment, 0N). These plants were later exposed to a high sunlight irradiance (noon PPFD up to 1500 µmol m–2 s–1 ) for a period of 12 or 15 days. Among others, the values of electron trans-port capacity, maximum carboxylation activity, photosynthetic capacity (Amax) and several fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, Fv´/Fm´, qP, &phis;e) first showed a reduction (until the 4th–7th day) in all N treatments, followed by an N-dependent recovery. The 2N plants were less affected in the first few days and, at the end of the stress period, showed a better recovery for most of the studied parameters and the highest increase in the saturating PPFD for net photosynthesis and A max . The present work shows that the ability to acclimate displayed by the mature leaves of 2N plants was accompanied by an increase in energy dis-sipation mechanisms. These include an increase in the ‘high energy’ quenching and, mostly, the presence of higher contents of some xanthophylls (zeaxanthin and lutein) and carotenes, which helped to decrease the energetic overcharge in the photosystems. Pigment changes in mature leaves suggest that N can promote specific mechanisms of acclimation others than those that might be expected from a preferential partition of the element N into photosynthetic components.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to obtain water and nitrogen (N) management mode for water saving, high quality and proper yield of Arabica coffee in dry and hot region of southwest China. Taking full irrigation (FI) as the control, the effects of three deficit irrigation (DI) levels (DI80, DI60 and DI40, with irrigation amount of 80, 60 and 40% FI, respectively) in dry season on growth, yield, nutritional quality and water use efficiency (WUE) of Arabica coffee were investigated under three N rates (NH: 140, NM: 100 and NL: 60gN plant−1) using field experiments from 2013 to 2015, and the comprehensive benefit of yield and nutritional quality was evaluated using the technique for ordering preferences by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method. Compared with FI, DI80 increased two-year averaged contents of protein, crude fat and chlorogenic acid in dry bean by 9.4, 26.0 and 12.5%, respectively, but reduced dry bean yield by 6.4%. DI60 and DI40 reduced dry bean yield and water use efficiency (WUE) greatly, but increased the contents of caffeine and crude fiber in dry bean. Compared with NL, enhancing N rate increased dry bean yield, WUE, and the contents of protein and chlorogenic acid in dry bean by 32.9–42.6, 32.1–45.4, 5.9–9.7 and 7.0–12.6%, respectively, and NM level had the largest dry bean yield, WUE and chlorogenic acid content in dry bean. FINM treatment had the largest two-year averaged dry bean yield of 5587.42kgha−1 and 31.8% higher than FINL treatment. DI80NH treatment had the best comprehensive benefit of yield and nutritional quality. Compared with FINL treatment, DI80NH treatment increased two-year averaged dry bean yield, WUE and the contents of protein and chlorogenic acid by 29.5, 42.7, 19.3 and 20.0%, respectively. Thus the treatment of high N (140g plant−1) and moderate deficit irrigation (irrigation amount was 80% of FI) was the suitable mode of water and nitrogen management for Arabica coffee, which could realize water-saving, high quality and proper yield of Arabica coffee simultaneously in the dry and hot region of southwest China.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to establish the Sufficiency Range Approach of both the Foliar (SRAF) and the soil nutrient contents (SRAS) of Conilon coffee trees (Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehn), cultivated organically in Espírito Santo - Brazil. The nutritional diagnosis using Diagnosis Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) 1and SRAF, was also compared. The nutrient contents of the leaves and soil were evaluated in 56 organic crops. To establish SRAF and SRAS, the foliar and the soil nutrient contents was used respectively, from 22 crops with high yield (equal or above 2,400 kg ha-1 coffee fruit processing). The comparison between DRIS and SRAF was performed through the ordination of the limiting nutrients and qui-square test. Results revealed that SRAF was of: N (g kg-1) 26.2-29.0, P (g kg-1) 1.51-1.75, K (g kg-1) 14.7-18.7, Ca (g kg-1) 12.4-14.6, Mg (g kg-1) 2.92-4.19- 6, S (g kg-1) 1.85-2.33, B (mg kg-1) 45.5-63.5, Cu (mg kg-1) 11.1-21.1, Fe (mg kg-1) 69.2-155.0, Mn (mg kg-1) 49.6-98.2 and Zn (mg kg- 1) 7.83-9.97. The SRAS was of: P (mg dm-3) 4.67-15.27, K (mg dm-3) 62.7-258.00, Ca (cmolc dm-3) 1.65-3.49, Mg (cmolc dm-3) 0.61- 0.99, S (mg dm-3) 6.94-27.2, B (mg dm-3) 0.43-0.61, Cu (mg dm-3) 0.15-0.43, Fe (mg dm-3) 31.05-100.20, Mn (mg dm-3) 8.78-56.60 and Zn (mg dm-3) 2.35-6.51. In several cases SRAF identified limitations in the organic Conilon coffee productivity that were not identified by DRIS. DRIS indicated limitation when the nutrient was inside of the SRAF. Manganese followed by P, Cu=Fe and N were the nutrients considered as deficient to the yield, when DRIS was used, on the other hand, when the SRAF was used Mn, Ca, Fe and N were considered deficient nutrients.

    Abstract The effect of the phosphorus (P) and glyphosate interactions on the growth and nutrition of Arabica coffee cultivars (Coffea arabica), as well as on the control of Ipomoea grandifolia and Urochloa decumbens, was evaluated. Catuaí-Amarelo/IAC-62 and Catuaí-Vermelho/IAC-144 cultivars did not show glyphosate poisoning, regardless of the soil P content. However, glyphosate reduced the growth of Catuaí-Vermelho/IAC-144. In addition, the soil P content influenced the height, leaf area and dry matter of Catuaí-Amarelo/IAC-62, and the absorption of P and Ca in both cultivars. On the other hand, glyphosate efficiently controlled U. decumbens but not I. grandifolia. Glyphosate effectiveness on I. grandifolia decreased as the soil P content increased. In addition, the soil P content and the glyphosate influenced the P content in I. grandifolia and U. decumbens plants. The soil P content influenced the growth and absorption of other nutrients by coffee plants as well as glyphosate effectiveness on weed control.

    Abstract In a pot experiment, the growth and the nutrient status of in vitro propagated coffee (Coffea arabica L.) microcuttings were investigated for 5 months following vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) inoculation with either Acaulospora melleae or Glomus clarum at four soil P availabilities. Control plants remained P-deficient even at the highest soil P availability while mycorrhizal plants were P-sufficient at all soil P availabilities. Growth of control plants was only improved at the highest soil P availability. In P-deficient soil, neither of the two VAM species improved plant growth. Plant growth increased by 50% following inoculation with either A. melleae or G. clarum when P availability went from deficient to low. No further plant growth improvement was induced by either VAM species at intermediate and high soil P levels. Nevertheless, growth of plants inoculated with G. clarum was still significantly greater than that of non-mycorrhizal plants at the highest soil P availability. Root colonization by G. clarum increased with increasing soil P availability while root colonization by A. mellea decreased with soil P level increasing above low P availability. Soil P availability also affected Zn nutrition through its influence on VAM symbiosis. With increasing soil P availability, foliar Zn status increased with G. clarum or decreased with A. mellea in parallel to root colonization by VAM. This study demonstrates the beneficial effects of VAM inoculation on in vitro propagated Arabica coffee microcuttings, as shown previously for seedlings. This study also demonstrates differences in tolerance to soil P availability between VAM species, most likely resulting from their differing abilities to enhance coffee foliar P status.

    Abstract This study was aimed to establish the elemental profiling and provenance of coffee samples collected from eleven major coffee producing regions of Ethiopia. A total of 129 samples were analyzed for forty-five elements using inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-optical emission spectroscopy (OES), ICP-mass spectrometry (MS) and direct mercury analyzer (DMA). Among the macro elements, K showed the highest levels whereas Fe was found to have the lowest concentration values. In all the samples, Ca, K, Mg, P and S contents were statistically significant (p<0.05). Micro elements showed the concentrations order of: Mn>Cu>Sr>Zn>Rb>Ni>B. Contents of the trace elements were lower than the permissible standard values. Inter-regions differentiation by cluster analysis (CA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and principal component analysis (PCA) showed that micro and trace elements are the best chemical descriptors of the analyzed coffee samples.

    Abstract The bulk of coffee soils in southwestern and southern regions of Ethiopia are classified as Nitto sols, which are highly weathered and originate from volcanic rock. These soils are deep and well drained having a pH of 5-6, and have medium to high contents of most of the essential elements except nitrogen and phosphorus. Also, most of the coffee plantations are often managed with shade trees in small scale, with minimal fertilization; litter fall and decomposition play an important role in nitrogen cycling and maintenance of soil fertility. The amount of plant nutrient required by coffee trees may vary depending on several factors. the amount and distribution of rainfall, the species and amount of other plants grown in association with the coffee trees, seasonal variation, topography, soil type and the prevailing cultural practices. Proper coffee nutrition requires special attention of the grower because it affects bean size (grade), bean quality and the overall productivity of the crop that determines marketability. Nutrients are applied to replenish those that are lost through tissue formation, yields, leaching and those that form compounds where they cannot be easily extracted by roots. This calls for application of mineral fertilizers and/or organic Review Article Melke and Ittana; AJEA, 5(5): 400-418, 2015; Article no.AJEA.2015.041 401 manures so as to apply the necessary nutrients in the required amounts. As a result it was possible to come out with a set of recommendations that are of immense value to the growers. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to review the achievements and constraints of mineral fertilization and the potential to use of organic/bio-fertilizers for the present and future coffee production in Ethiopia.

    Abstract After oil, coffee is the most valuable traded commodity worldwide. In this review we highlighted some aspects of coffee growth and development in addition to focusing our attention on recent advances on the (eco)physiology of production in both Coffea arabica and C. canephora, which together account for 99% of the world coffee bean production. This review is organized into sections dealing with (i) climatic factors and environmental requirements, (ii) root and shoot growth, (iii) blossoming synchronisation, fruiting and cup quality, (iv) competition between vegetative and reproductive growth and branch die-back, (v) photosynthesis and crop yield, (vi) physiological components of crop yield, (vii) shading and agroforestry systems, and (viii) high-density plantings.

    Abstract Overall, drought and unfavourable temperatures are the major climatic limitations for coffee production. These limitations are expected to become increasingly important in several coffee growing regions due to the recognized changes in global climate, and also because coffee cultivation has spread towards marginal lands, where water shortage and unfavourable temperatures constitute major constraints to coffee yield. In this review, we examine the impacts of such limitations on the physiology, and consequently on the production of mainly Coffea arabica and C. canephora, which account for about 99 % of the world coffee bean production. The first section deals with climatic factors and the coffee plant’s requirements. The importance of controlling oxidative stress for the expression of drought and cold tolerance abilities is emphasized in the second section. In the third section, we examine the impacts of drought on cell-water relations, stomatal behaviour and water use, photosynthesis and crop yield, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, root growth and characteristics, and on drought tolerance. In the fourth section, the impacts of low positive and high temperatures on coffee physiology are discussed; some insights about effects of negative temperatures are also presented. Finally, the last section deals with shading in harsh environments as a mean of buffering climatic fluctuations, as well as of increasing environmental sustainability in coffee exploitation.

    Abstract The ecophysiological constraints on the production of the arabica and robusta coffee under shading or full sunlight are reviewed. These two species, which account for almost all the world’s production, were originally considered shade-obligatory, although unshaded plantations may out-yield shaded ones. As a rule, the benefits of shading increase as the environment becomes less favorable for coffee cultivation. Biennial production and branch die-back, which are strongly decreased under shading, are discussed. The relationships between gas exchange performance and key environmental factors are emphasized. Ecophysiological aspects of high density plantings are also examined.

    Abstract The chlorophyll meter (SPAD-502) is a simple, portable diagnostic tool that measures the greenness or relative content of leaves. Compared to the traditional destructive methods, the use of this equipment saves time, space and resources. The objective of this study was to establish a correlation between the photosynthetic pigments content extracted in DMSO, the total nitrogen content and the chlorophyll a fluorescence variables with the SPAD-502 readings in Coffea canephora Pierre leaves. The SPAD-502 has been shown to be a good tool to diagnose the integrity of the photosynthetic system in coffee leaves, and can thus help in the advanced interpretations of the photochemical process of these plants. The SPAD readings lower 40 show impairment in photosynthetic process. Thus, the portable chlorophyll SPAD-502 can be used to analyze the photosynthetic pigments, and total nitrogen can also help in interpretation of the photochemical process in coffee plants.

    Abstract The effects of water deficit on photochemical parameters and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), as well as, cellular damages were investigated in two clones of Coffea canephora differing in drought tolerance. After 6 days without irrigation, predawn leaf water potential fell to −3.0 MPa that was accompanied by the suppression of net photosynthesis in both clones. The variable to maximum chlorophyll fluorescence ratio remained unchanged regardless of the imposed treatments. Both clones showed a similar decline (about 25%) in the photochemical quenching coefficient, but only the drought-sensitive clone exhibited an enhancement (31%) of thermal deactivation under water deficit conditions. The quantum yield of electron transport decreased similarly in both genotypes. Under drought conditions, activities of SOD, CAT and APX increased to a greater extent in the drought-tolerant clone than in the drought-sensitive one. This seemed to be matched with higher protection against oxidative stress, as judged from the lower levels of lipid peroxidation and electrolyte leakage in the drought-tolerant clone. Thus, the ability to increase the antioxidant system activity in order to limit cellular damages might be an important attribute linked to the drought tolerance in C. canephora.

    Abstract • Background and Aims Drought is a major environmental constraint affecting growth and production of Coffea canephora. Selection of C. canephora clones has been largely empirical as little is known about how clones respond physiologically to drought. Using clones previously shown to differ in drought tolerance, this study aimed to identify the extent of variation of water use and the mechanisms responsible, particularly those associated morphological traits.• Methods Clones (14 and 120, drought-tolerant; 46 and 109A, drought-sensitive, based on their abilities to yield under drought) were grown in 120-L pots until they were 12-months old, when an irrigation and a drought treatment were applied; plants were droughted until the pressure potential (ψx) before dawn (pre-dawn) reached −3·0 MPa. Throughout the drought period, ψx and stomatal conductance (gs) were measured. At the end of the experiment, carbon isotope ratio and parameters from pressure–volume curves were estimated. Morphological traits were also assessed.• Key Results and Conclusions With irrigation, plant hydraulic conductance (KL), midday ψx and total biomass were all greater in clones 109A and 120 than in the other clones. Root mass to leaf area ratio was larger in clone 109A than in the others, whereas rooting depth was greater in drought-tolerant than in drought-sensitive clones. Predawn ψx of −3·0 MPa was reached fastest by 109A, followed progressively by clones 46, 120 and 14. Decreases in gs with declining ψx, or increasing evaporative demand, were similar for clones 14, 46, and 120, but lower in 109A. Carbon isotope ratio increased under drought; however, it was lower in 109A than in other clones. For all clones, ψx, gs and KL recovered rapidly following re-watering. Differences in root depth, KL and stomatal control of water use, but not osmotic or elastic adjustments, largely explained the differences in relative tolerance to drought stress of clones 14 and 120 compared with clones 46 and 109A.

    Abstract Four clones of Coffea canephora (Robusta coffee) representing drought-tolerant (14 and 120) and drought-sensitive (46 and 109A) genotypes were submitted to slowly imposed water deficit, until predawn leaf water potential approximately −3.0MPa was reached. Drought-tolerant clones were better able to maintain their leaf water status than drought-sensitive clones after withholding irrigation. Regardless of the clones investigated, the net carbon assimilation rate decreased under drought stress, but little or no effect of drought on the quantum yield of electron transport was observed. The photosynthetic apparatus of clone 120 was more tolerant to both drought and paraquat-mediated oxidative stress, with no clear distinction amongst the other clones in this regard. Drought triggered increases in superoxide dismutase (clones 109A and 120), ascorbate peroxidase (clones 14, 46 and 109A), catalase and guaiacol peroxidase (clones 46 and 109A), and also in glutathione reductase (clone 46) and dehydroascorbate reductase (clone 109A). Activity of monodehydroascorbate reductase was not induced in drought-stressed plants. Maximal catalytic activities of the two last enzymes were much lower than that of ascorbate peroxidase, irrespective of the clone investigated. No drought-induced decrease in enzyme activity was found, except for glutathione reductase in clone 120. In any case, oxidative damage appeared to be evident only in clone 109A. A general link between protection against oxidative stress with differences in clonal tolerance to drought was not observed.

    Abstract Four clones of robusta coffee representing drought-tolerant (14 and 120) and drought-sensitive (46 and 109A) genotypes were submitted to a slowly imposed water deficit. Sampling and measurements were performed when predawn leaf water potential (Ψpd) approximately −2.0 and −3.0MPa was reached. Regardless of the clone evaluated, drought led to sharper decreases in stomatal conductance than in photosynthesis, which was accompanied by significant declines in internal to ambient CO2 concentration ratio. Little or no effect of drought on chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters was observed. Regardless of the stress intensity, starch decreased remarkably. This was not accompanied by significant changes in concentration of soluble sugars, with the exception of clone 120 in which a rise in sucrose and hexose concentrations was found when Ψpd reached −3.0MPa. At Ψpd=−2.0MPa, activity of acid invertase increased only in clone 120; at Ψpd=−3.0MPa, it increased in clones 14, 46 and 120, while activity of sucrose synthase declined, but only in clone 109A. Drought-induced decrease in ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity was found only in clones 14 and 46, irrespective of stress intensity. At Ψpd=−3.0MPa, maximal extractable and activation state of sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) decreased in all clones with the exception of clone 120, in which SPS activity was maintained in parallel to a rising activity of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. Changes in SPS activity could neither be explained by the CO2 decrease linked to stomatal closure nor by differences in leaf water status.

    Abstract Seasonal changes in vegetative growth, leaf gas exchanges, carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) and carbohydrate status were monitored in de-fruited coffee trees (Coffea arabica L.) grown in the field, from October 1998 through September 1999, in Viçosa (20°45′S, 42°15′W, 650m a.s.l.), southeastern Brazil. Of the total growth over the 12-month study period, 78% occurred in the warm, rainy season (October–March), and 22% during the cool, dry season (April–September). Throughout the active growth period, the rate of net carbon assimilation (A) averaged 8.6μmolm−2s−1, against 3.4μmolm−2s−1 during the period of reduced growth. In the active period, growth, unlike A or Δ, was strongly negatively correlated with air temperature. In contrast, growth and A were both correlated positively, and Δ correlated negatively, with air temperature during the reduced growth period. However, the depressions of A and growth might have simply run in parallel, without any causal relationship. Changes in A appeared to be largely due to stomatal limitations in the active growing season, with non-stomatal ones prevailing in the slow growth period. Foliar carbohydrates seemed not to have contributed appreciably to changes in growth rates and photosynthesis.

    Abstract • Perturbations of the source–sink balances were performed in field-grown coffee (Coffea arabica) trees to investigate the possible role of carbohydrates in feedback regulation of photosynthesis. • Four treatments were applied at the whole-plant level: (i) complete defruiting and maintenance of the full leaf area, (ii) the half crop load and full leaf area, (iii) the full crop load and full leaf area and (iv) the full crop load and half leaf area. Sampling and measurements were performed twice during the phase of dry matter accumulation of fruits. Gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence, carbon isotope labelling and steady-state metabolite measurements were assessed in source leaves. • The average rate of net photosynthetic rate (A) and stomatal conductance (gs) were larger (> 50%), and carbon isotope composition ratio was lower, in trees with a full crop load and half leaf area than in defruited trees, with individuals of the other two treatments showing intermediate values. However, differences in A seem unlikely to have been caused either by photochemical impairments or a direct end-product-mediated feedback down-regulation of photosynthesis. • It is proposed that the decreased A in defruited coffee trees was independent of carbon metabolism and was rather directly related to a lower CO2 availability coupled to lower gs.

    Abstract Plants of C. canephora grown in pots under low nitrogen (LN) or high nitrogen (HN) applications were submitted to either cyclic water stress or daily irrigation. Water deficit led to marked decreases in net carbon assimilation rate (A) and, to a lesser extent, in stomatal conductance (gs), regardless of the N treatments. In well-watered plants, A appreciably increased in HN plants relative to LN plants without significant changes in gs. As a whole, changes in internal CO2 concentration predominantly reflected changes in A rather than in gs. Under irrigated conditions, A, but not gs, correlated with leaf N concentration in a curvilinear way. Photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency was considerably low, and decreased with increasing leaf N concentration. Limited N, but not water, slightly decreased the maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII). Under continuous irrigation, LN plants had a smaller quantum yield of electron transport (ϕPSII) through slight decreases of photochemical quenching (qp) and capture efficiency of excitation energy by open PSII reaction centres, and increases in Stern-Volmer non-photochemical quenching. Under water-stressed conditions, changes in PSII photochemistry were apparent only in HN plants, with a 25 % decrease in ϕPSII, due mainly to variations in qp. Biochemical constraints, rather than stomatal or photochemical limitations, provoked the decreases in A under limited supply of either N or water.

    Abstract Low positive temperature (chilling) is frequently linked to the promotion of oxidative stress conditions, and is of particular importance in the coffee plant due to its severe impact on growth, development, photosynthesis and production. Nevertheless, some acclimation ability has been reported within the Coffea genus, and is possibly related to oxidative stress control. Using an integrated biochemical and molecular approach, the characterization of the antioxidative system of genotypes with different cold acclimation abilities was performed. Experiments were carried out using 1.5-year-old coffee seedlings of Coffea canephora cv. Apoatã, C. arabica cv. Catuaí, C. dewevrei and 2 hybrids, Icatu (C. arabica×C. canephora) and Piatã (C. dewevrei×C. arabica) subjected to a gradual cold treatment and a recovery period. Icatu showed the greatest ability to control oxidative stress, as reflected by the enhancement of several antioxidative components (Cu,Zn-SOD and APX activities; ascorbate, α-tocopherol and chlorogenic acids (CGAs) contents) and lower reactive oxygen species contents (H2O2 and OH). Gene expression studies show that GRed, DHAR and class III and IV chitinases might also be involved in the cold acclimation ability of Icatu. Catuaí showed intermediate acclimation ability through the reinforcement of some antioxidative molecules, usually to a lesser extent than that observed in Icatu. On the other hand, C. dewevrei showed the poorest response in terms of antioxidant accumulation, and also showed the greatest increase in OH values. The difference in the triggering of antioxidative traits supports the hypothesis of its importance to cold (and photoinhibition) tolerance in Coffea sp. and could provide a useful probe to identify tolerant genotypes.

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plants were grown in small (3-L), medium (10-L) and large (24-L) pots for 115 or 165 d after transplanting (DAT), which allowed different degrees of root restriction. Effects of altered source : sink ratio were evaluated in order to explore possible stomatal and non-stomatal mechanisms of photosynthetic down-regulation. Increasing root restriction brought about large and general reductions in plant growth associated with a rising root : shoot ratio. Treatments did not affect leaf water potential or leaf nutrient status, with the exception of N content, which dropped significantly with increasing root restriction even though an adequate N supply was available. Photosynthesis was severely reduced when plants were grown in small pots; this was largely associated with non-stomatal factors, such as decreased Rubisco activity. At 165 DAT contents of hexose, sucrose, and amino acids decreased in plants grown in smaller pots, while those of starch and hexose-P increased in plants grown in smaller pots. Photosynthetic rates were negatively correlated with the ratio of hexose to free amino acids, but not with hexose content. Activities of acid invertase, sucrose synthase, sucrose-P synthase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, starch phosphorylase, glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenase, PPi : fructose-6-P 1-phosphotransferase and NADP : glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenase all decreased with severe root restriction. Glycerate-3-P : Pi and glucose-6-P : fructose-6-P ratios decreased accordingly. Photosynthetic down-regulation was unlikely to have been associated directly with an end-product limitation, but rather with decreases in Rubisco. Such a down-regulation was largely a result of N deficiency caused by growing coffee plants in small pots.

      "By growing clones of C. canephora for 10 months in 6-L pots, Lima et al. (2002) obtained maximal A values of 3 μmol m−2 s−1, whereas Pinheiro et al. (2004) found A values of approximately 10 μmol m−2 s−1 when the same clones were also grown for 10 months in 120-L pots." (p. 1014)

      "The photosynthetic response to pot size would also vary depending on how long plants remain containerised. This is particularly important for tree species because in most experiments they are grown in small pots for extended periods." (p. 1014)

      "Uniform seedlings of Coffea arabica L. cv Red Catua ́ IAC 44 were transplanted to small pots (SP), medium pots (MP), and large pots (LP), which contained 3, 10, and 24 L, respectively, of a mixture of soil, sand and manure (3 : 1 : 1, v / v / v). The plants were grown in a screen house with walls of coarse mesh screen, which allowed free exchange of air with the external environment." (p. 1014)

      "The experimental plot was one plant per pot. The plants were regularly watered and received a maximal photosynthetic photon flux of 1200 μmol m−2 s−1. Supplemental N fertiliser was top-dressed at a rate of 3.0 g (NH4)2SO4 per pot at 45-d intervals, starting on the 15th day after transplanting (DAT)." (p. 1014)

      "Root restriction treatments were imposed by growing plants in pots of different sizes for 115 or 165 DAT." (p. 1014)

      "At 115 DAT, total shoot dry matter of SP plants was less (48%) than that of MP or LP plants. At 165 DAT, total shoot dry matter was smaller in SP (66%) and MP (23%) plants than in LP individuals. Similar trends were also observed for total leaf area, stem diameter, plant height, number of leaves and plagiotropic branches, and dry matter of stems, petioles and leaves (data not shown)." (p. 1015)

      "Specific leaf area was greater in SP plants than in MP and LP plants. This was associated with a reduction in the mesophyll thickness, particularly in spongy parenchyma (data not shown)." (p. 1016)

      "Foliar concentrations of essential macroand micronutrients (P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn) did not vary appreciably for plants grown in different pot volumes (data not shown), and were within the optimum range for" (p. 1016)

      "coffee. However, total N concentration declined dramatically with decreasing pot volume." (p. 1016)

      "This was particularly evident at 165 DAT when N concentration was lower in both SP (40%) and MP (23%) plants than in LP plants (Table 1)." (p. 1016)

      "Leaf w, as measured at either 0700 h (Table 2) or 1300 h (data not shown), was unaffected by pot size, indicating that water status was largely unrelated to changes in growth and photosynthetic performance as associated with rooting restriction." (p. 1016)

      "Considering the LP plants as a reference, there were significant decreases in A (58%) and gs (48%), but only in SP plants at 165 DAT (Table 2)." (p. 1017)

      "Compared with LP plants, total chlorophyll content decreased (26%) at 115 DAT in SP plants; at 165 DAT, it declined (59%) in these plants and in MP plants (20%) (Table 1)." (p. 1017)

      "Increasing root restriction brought about general and large reductions in plant growth associated with a rising root : shoot ratio." (p. 1020)

      "In this study, N, rather than water or any other nutrient, was most likely the limiting factor. Particularly at 165 DAT, leaf N concentration was near or below 23 g kg−1 DM in SP and MP plants, a mean value at which visual symptoms of N deficiency start appearing in coffee (Moraes 1981)." (p. 1020)

      "It should be stressed that the substrate of the small pots contained ∼5.5 g N at the experiment onset and 2.5 g N per plant were applied throughout the experiment. Thus, the overall amount of N in the small pots was considerably larger than the amount expected to be taken up during the six month experiment by a coffee seedling grown without physical limitation to root development (∼1.0 g N; Instituto Brasileiro do Caf ́e 1985)." (p. 1020)

      "As a consequence, much of the growth and photosynthesis responses related to decreasing pot size were, indeed, a reflection of N deficiency." (p. 1020)

      "Changes in root morphology in favour of shorter and thicker roots were visually observed with smaller pots." (p. 1020)

      "Results from this study showed that source : sink imbalance imposed by root restriction severely reduced photosynthesis in coffee plants." (p. 1020)

      "Thus, it follows that photosynthetic acclimation of plants grown in limiting pot sizes was largely a consequence of N limitation. From this perspective, down-regulation of photosynthesis was a result of an inadequate leaf N status even though an appropriate N supply was available." (p. 1022)

    Abstract Vegetative growth of branches and leaf area gain in field-grown Arabica coffee trees in Viçosa, southeastern Brazil, exhibited active and quiescent phases. Nitrogen supplementation during the cool season did not prevent growth decline, nor did it alter the overall pattern of the tree growth; however, it enabled the plants to grow faster following the quiescent growth phase. Growth was related poorly to both nitrate content and nitrate reductase activity in leaves. In roots, N-fertilization in addition to accounting for greater content of nitrate, amino acids and ammonium was also associated with the maintenance of the nitrate reductase activity, but nitrate reduction was apparently nil in leaves during most of the cool season.

    Abstract Environmental constraints disturb plant metabolism and are often associated with photosynthetic impairments and yield reductions. Among them, low positive temperatures are of up most importance in tropical plant species, namely in Coffea spp. in which some acclimation ability has been reported. To further explain cold tolerance, the impacts on photosynthetic functioning and the expression of photosynthetic-related genes were analyzed. The experiments were carried out along a period of slow cold imposition (to allow acclimation), after chilling (4°C) exposure and in the following rewarming period, using 1.5-year-old coffee seedlings of 5 genotypes with different cold sensitivity: Coffea canephora cv. Apoatã, Coffea arabica cv. Catuaí, Coffea dewevrei and 2 hybrids, Icatu (C. arabica×C. canephora) and Piatã (C. dewevrei×C. arabica). All genotypes suffered a significant leaf area loss only after chilling exposure, with Icatu showing the lowest impact, a first indication of a higher cold tolerance, contrasting with Apoatã and C. dewevrei. During cold exposure, net photosynthesis and Chl a fluorescence parameters were strongly affected in all genotypes, but stomatal limitations were not detected. However, the extent of mesophyll limitation, reflecting regulatory mechanisms and/or damage, was genotype dependent. Overnight retention of zeaxanthin was common to Coffea genotypes, but the accumulation of photoprotective pigments was highest in Icatu. That down-regulated photochemical events but efficiently protected the photosynthetic structures, as shown, e.g., by the lowest impacts on Amax and PSI activity and the strongest reinforcement of PSII activity, the latter possibly reflecting the presence of a photoprotective cycle around PSII in Icatu (and Catuaí). Concomitant to these protection mechanisms, Icatu was the sole genotype to present simultaneous upregulation of caCP22, caPI and caCytf, related to, respectively, PSII, PSI and to the complex Cytb6/f, which could promote better repair ability, contributing to the maintenance of efficient thylakoid functioning. We conclude that Icatu showed the best acclimation ability among the studied genotypes, mostly due to a better upregulation of photoprotection and repair mechanisms. We confirmed the presence of important variability in Coffea spp. that could be exploited in breeding programs, which should be assisted by useful markers of cold tolerance, namely the upregulation of antioxidative molecules, the expression of selected genes and PSI sensitivity.

    Abstract Climate changes implicate an increase in climate instability and the occurrence of extreme temperature in the environment. In this context, the differential triggering of cold tolerance mechanisms among coffee plants, highlighting the existence of important genetic variability, is of up most importance to be exploited in genotype screening and breeding programs. This review deals with the identification and triggering of acclimation mechanisms that shield key functions and structures of photosynthesis, with a particular emphasis on experiments under environmental controlled conditions. These mechanisms allow plants to perform metabolic and structural adjustments, particularly under conditions of a gradual cold exposure, simulating the effects happening in the field under cold periods. Detailed attention is given to the strengthening of the antioxidative system and to the dynamics of the lipid matrix components in chloroplast membranes, since they were found to constitute crucial traits to an effective long-term acclimation and, therefore, to guarantee the economic sustainability of this important tropical cash crop, particularly in cultivation areas prone to the occurrence of low positive temperatures.

    Abstract It has long been held that the regulation of photosynthesis in source leaves may be controlled by carbohydrates. The mechanisms that govern the diurnal fluctuation of photosynthesis and the potential role of feedback regulation by carbohydrates during photosynthesis in coffee (Coffea arabica) leaves were investigated in three independent and complementary experiments. An integrative approach using gas exchange measurements in addition to carbon isotope labelling and steady-state carbohydrate and amino acid analysis was performed. Canonical correlation analysis was also performed. In field-grown plants under naturally fluctuating environmental conditions (Experiment I), the overall pattern of gas exchange was characterised by both low stomatal conductance (gs) and net carbon assimilation rate (A) in the afternoon; no apparent signs of photoinhibition were observed. Under conditions of low air evaporative demand (Experiment II), only slight decreases (~20%) in A were observed at the end of the day, which were associated with a reduction (~35%) in gs. For both conditions, any increase in carbohydrate and amino acid pools over the course of the day was small. In leaves from girdled branches (Experiment III), a remarkable decrease in A and particularly in gs was observed, as were increases in starch but not in hexoses and sucrose pools. Furthermore, the rate of 14CO2 uptake (assessed under saturating CO2 conditions) and the partitioning of recently fixed 14C were not affected by girdling. It is proposed that the diurnal oscillations in A and the differences in A in leaves from girdled and non-girdled branches were merely a consequence of diffusive limitations rather than from photochemical constraints or direct metabolite-mediated down-regulation of photosynthesis.

    Abstract The decline of vegetative growth of Arabica coffee trees in Viçosa (20° 45′ S, 650 m altitude), Brazil, occurring from mid-March through late May, was observed in both irrigated and non-irrigated plants and did not show a direct relation with leaf water potential. Declining growth coincided with lowering temperatures, and particularly with increasing daily periods with low temperatures. Stomatal conductances in the morning (0800–0900 h) were relatively high until mid-March and decreased gradually in parallel with declining growth rates. During the quiescent growth phase in the cool season, starting from late May, stomata were closed for most of the diurnal period.

    Abstract It is known that the coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plant which is originally from shade habitats would have a limited ability to grow under full sun. Previous work has shown that nitrogen fertilisation can reduce the leaf damage when the plants are exposed to high light intensities during several days. In the present work we aimed to study the effects of the high irradiance during the first hours and evaluate the positive contribution of nitrogen fertilisation in the case of short-term exposure to strong light. Young plants (1.5–2 years old) grown in 1.5 kg of a mixed soil were supplemented with a nutrient solution containing 15 mM nitrogen in the form of NH4NO3, every 7 days (2N treatment), 15 days (1N treatment) and 45 days (0N treatment). Top mature leaves were exposed to a photosynthetic photon flux density of 1 500 μmol m−2 s−1 for a maximal period of 8 h, and changes in photosynthesis and pigment composition were monitored along the period of high light exposure. Photosynthetic capacity, leaf conductance to water vapour, electron transport capacity and maximum carboxylation activity, as well as some leaf fluorescence parameters (minimal fluorescence, photochemical efficiency of PSII and quantum yield of photosynthetic electron transport) were reduced by the stress, with a generally stronger impact observed in the 0N plants. The photochemical quenching was affected only in the 0N plants, while the non-photochemical quenching increased in 2N plants but decreased in the 0N ones. The results showed that 2N plants presented a better initial status of the photosynthetic parameters and of the content of photoprotective pigments. Those plants showed ability to trigger some protective mechanisms, as observed by the tendency to increase the xanthophyll pool content, specially in zeaxanthin and in non-photochemical quenching. Also, protein content presented a tendency to increase after 1.5 h, which was maintained until the end of the high light period. We conclude that nitrogen availability is a key factor in the acclimation process to high light.

    Abstract Coffee is native to shady environments but often grows better and produces higher yields without shade, though at the expense of high fertilization inputs, particularly nitrogen (N). Potted plants were grown under full sunlight and shade (50%) conditions and were fertilized with nutrient solutions containing either 0 or 23mMN. Measurements were made in southeastern Brazil during winter conditions, when relatively low night temperatures and high diurnal insolation are common. Overall, the net carbon assimilation rate was quite low, which was associated with diffusive, rather than biochemical, constraints. N deficiency led to decreases in the concentrations of chlorophylls (Chl) and total carotenoids as well as in the Chl/N ratio. These conditions also led to qualitative changes in the carotenoid composition, e.g., increased antheraxanthin (A) and zeaxanthin (Z) pools on a Chl basis, particularly at high light, which was linked to increased thermal dissipation of absorbed light. The variable-to-maximum fluorescence ratio at predawn decreased with increasing A+Z pools and decreased linearly with decreasing N. We showed that this ratio was inadequate for assessing photoinhibition under N limitation. Expressed per unit mass, the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase were not altered with the treatments. In contrast, ascorbate peroxidase activity was lower in low N plants, particularly under shade, whereas catalase activity was lower in shaded plants than in sun-grown plants, regardless of the N level. Glutamine synthetase activity was greater in sun-grown plants than in shaded individuals at a given N level and decreased with decreasing N application. Our results suggest that the photoprotective and antioxidant capacity per amount of photons absorbed was up-regulated by a low N supply; nevertheless, this capacity, regardless of the light conditions, was not enough to prevent oxidative damage, as judged from the increases in the H2O2 and malondialdehyde concentrations and electrolyte leakage. We demonstrated that N fertilization could adequately protect the coffee plants against photodamage independently of the anticipated positive effects of N on the photosynthetic capacity.

    Abstract Based on indirect evidence, it was previously suggested that shading could attenuate the negative impacts of drought on coffee (Coffea arabica), a tropical crop species native to shady environments. A variety (47) of morphological and physiological traits were examined in plants grown in 30-l pots in either full sunlight or 85% shade for 8 months, after which a 4-month water shortage was implemented. Overall, the traits showed weak or negligible responses to the light × water interaction, explaining less than 10% of the total data variation. Only slight variations in biomass allocation were observed in the combined shade and drought treatment. Differences in relative growth rates were mainly associated with physiological and not with morphological adjustments. In high light, drought constrained the photosynthetic rate through stomatal limitations with no sign of apparent photoinhibition; in low light, such constraints were apparently linked to biochemical factors. Sun-grown plants displayed osmotic adjustments, decreased tissue elasticities and improved long-term water use efficiencies, especially under drought. Regardless of the water availability, higher concentrations of lipids, total phenols, total soluble sugars and lignin were found in high light compared to shade conditions, in contrast to the effects on cellulose and hemicellulose concentrations. Proline concentrations increased in water-deprived plants, particularly those grown under full sun. Phenotypic plasticity was much higher in response to the light than to the water supply. Overall, shading did not alleviate the negative impacts of drought on the coffee tree.

    Abstract The great variability in income irradiance over a plant canopy makes difficult the comparison of photosynthesis rates among leaves in a plant and their integration. In this study, photosynthetical rates of ten different leaves of a coffee plant were obtained during a day. The daily variation in photosynthetic rates showed a peak between 7:00 h and 9:00 h with higher values measured for the leaves positioned at the sunrise direction and northern orientation. Lower values were consistently observed for leaves at inner position of the plant. After 9:00 h, despite the increase in photosynthetically active radiation, photosynthetic rates decreased steadily to reach negligible values at sunset. The reductions on photosynthesis rates can also be attributed to increasing stomatal resistance. Since number of leaves is highly variable in coffee plants, those results make evident how difficult is to integrate and estimate whole plant photosynthesis by taking the average of 10 leaves.

    Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate photoprotective mechanisms related to low positive temperatures in Coffea canephora (Conilon clones 02 and 153) and C. arabica ('Catucaí' IPR 102) genotypes, involved in cold temperature tolerance. To accomplish this, one‑year‑old plants were successively submitted to: temperature decrease of 0.5ºC day‑1, from 25/20ºC to 13/8ºC; a three‑day chilling cycle at 13/4ºC; and a recovery period of 14 days (25/20ºC). During the experiment, leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence and leaf photosynthetic pigment content were evaluated. Total activity of ribulose‑1,5‑bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (Rubisco) and ribulose‑5‑phosphate kinase (Ru5PK) were quantified to measure the activity of photosynthesis key enzymes. All genotypes showed low temperature sensitivity, but displayed diverse cold impact and recovery capabilities regarding the photosynthetic‑related parameters studied. Catucaí IPR 102 cultivar showed better ability to cope with cold stress than the Conilon clones, especially Conilon 02, and had full recovery of leaf gas exchange, fluorescence parameters, enzymatic activity, and higher contents of the photoprotective pigments zeaxanthin and lutein.

    Abstract Active vegetative and reproductive growth in field-grown trees of Coffea arabica L. in Viçosa (20o45’S, 650 m altitude), south-eastern Brazil, occur concurrently. The overall patterns of branch growth and leaf area gain were to a certain extent altered by fruit removal, with growth rates being remarkably greater in de-fruited trees. The content of N-NO3 was not affected by fruiting, whilst that of amino-N was greater in de-fruited than fruiting trees most of the time, but the differences were not large enough to have significantly contributed to the increased growth rates in de-fruited trees. Leaf nitrate reductase activity was greater in plants bearing fruit than in non-bearing ones most of the time; activity was roughly inversely associated with growth. Although the roots contained much more nitrate than the leaves, the root nitrate reductase activity was much lower and not affected by fruiting. Much of the restrictive effects of fruiting on vegetative growth appeared to be associated to starch exhaustion, in addition to the outstanding effect of supra-optimum temperatures per se.

    Abstract Coffee is a key export commodity of East Africa, but average smallholders’ yields are low. To guide sustainable yield improvements of smallholders’ coffee systems, we investigated coffee yield components in three different types of coffee cropping systems along an altitude gradient (1100−2100 m.a.s.l.) during two production years (2015 and 2016). We selected 810 coffee trees distributed over 27 farms and monitored number of stems per tree, fruit load per branch, productive nodes per branch (on four branches of one stem per tree) and number of productive branches per stem (on one stem per selected tree) in both years. Additionally, we monitored productive stems per ha, coffee tree density and cherry weight in combination with pest and disease occurrence and management information from interviews. Coffee farms were classified as Coffee-Open (CO) (< 20 % shade cover), Coffee-Banana (CB) (coffee dominantly intercropped with bananas) or Coffee-shade Tree (CT) (coffee dominantly intercropped with shade trees). Coffee-Banana had larger yield per ha (green bean kg ha−1) (1086 ± 736 kg ha−1) and yield per stem (green bean kg stem−1) (0.24 ± 0.16 kg stem−1) than CO (670 ± 457 kg ha−1 and 0.21 ± 0.26 kg stem−1) and CT (428 ± 259 kg ha-1 and 0.10 ± 0.12 kg stem−1). Fruit loads, productive nodes, productive branches and cherry weight declined with shade cover, especially for shade cover > 30 %. Additionally, the same yield components correlated negatively with number of stems per tree. Fertilizer and fungicide use were related to more productive branches and cherry weight respectively, and stem borer was identified as the most important pest in this area. Our results suggest that yield in the region could be increased, i) by maintaining shade at an intermediate level, particularly at low and mid altitude and by reducing the number of stems per coffee tree (<4), and ii) by improving soil fertility and protection against pest and disease.

    Abstract Coffee, one of the most heavily globally traded agricultural commodities, has been categorized as a highly sensitive plant species to progressive climatic change. Here, we summarize recent insights on the coffee plant’s physiological performance at elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration [CO2]. We specifically (i) provide new data of crop yields obtained under free-air CO2 enrichment conditions, (ii) discuss predictions on the future of the coffee crop as based on rising temperature and (iii) emphasize the role of [CO2] as a key player for mitigating harmful effects of supra-optimal temperatures on coffee physiology and bean quality. We conclude that the effects of global warming on the climatic suitability of coffee may be lower than previously assumed. We highlight perspectives and priorities for further research to improve our understanding on how the coffee plant will respond to present and progressive climate change.

    Abstract Rising air CO2 concentration ([CO2]) is believed to mitigate the negative impacts of global climate changes such as increased air temperatures and drought events on plant growth and survival. Nonetheless, how elevated [CO2] affects the way coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plants sense and respond to drought remains a critical unknown. In this study, potted coffee plants were cultivated under two air [CO2] (ca. 400 ppm or 700 ppm) in open top chambers under greenhouse conditions. After a 5-month exposure to [CO2] treatments, plants were submitted to a progressive, controlled soil water deficit down to 20 % soil field capacity. Under well-watered (100 % field capacity) conditions, 700-plants displayed lower whole-plant transpiration rates (T) than their 400-counterparts. Changes in T were unrelated to stomatal conductances at the leaf scale (as well as stomatal morphology) or foliar ABA levels, but they were rather associated with faster stomata closure rates upon rapid increases in vapor pressure deficit in the 700-plants. During drought, 700-plants were able to maintain higher water potentials and plant hydraulic conductances for longer in parallel to higher T than their 400-counterparts. Under elevated [CO2], the faster stomatal closure rates (irrigated conditions) or the maintenance of plant hydraulic conductances (drought conditions) were associated with higher (3 to 40-fold) transcript abundance of most aquaporin genes. Altogether, our results suggest that elevated [CO2] has marked implications on how coffee plants respond to soil water deficit, ultimately permitting 700-plants to have improved fitness under drought when compared to 400-plants.

    Abstract Coffee is one of the most important global crops and provides a livelihood to millions of people living in developing countries. Coffee species have been described as being highly sensitive to climate change, as largely deduced from modeling studies based on predictions of rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns. Here, we discuss the physiological responses of the coffee tree in the context of present and ongoing climate changes, including drought, heat, and light stresses, and interactions between these factors. We also summarize recent insights on the physiological and agronomic performance of coffee at elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations and highlight the key role of CO2 in mitigating the harmful effects of heat stress. Evidence is shown suggesting that warming, per se, may be less harmful to coffee suitability than previously estimated, at least under the conditions of an adequate water supply. Finally, we discuss several mitigation strategies to improve crop performance in a changing world.

    Abstract The tropical coffee crop has been predicted to be threatened by future climate changes and global warming. However, the real biological effects of such changes remain unknown. Therefore, this work aims to link the physiological and biochemical responses of photosynthesis to elevated air [CO2] and temperature in cultivated genotypes of Coffea arabica L. (cv. Icatu and IPR108) and Coffea canephora cv. Conilon CL153. Plants were grown for ca. 10 months at 25/20 °C (day/night) and 380 or 700 μl CO2 l−1 and then subjected to temperature increase (0.5 °C day−1) to 42/34 °C. Leaf impacts related to stomatal traits, gas exchanges, C isotope composition, fluorescence parameters, thylakoid electron transport and enzyme activities were assessed at 25/20, 31/25, 37/30 and 42/34 °C. The results showed that (1) both species were remarkably heat tolerant up to 37/30 °C, but at 42/34 °C a threshold for irreversible nonstomatal deleterious effects was reached. Impairments were greater in C. arabica (especially in Icatu) and under normal [CO2]. Photosystems and thylakoid electron transport were shown to be quite heat tolerant, contrasting to the enzymes related to energy metabolism, including RuBisCO, which were the most sensitive components. (2) Significant stomatal trait modifications were promoted almost exclusively by temperature and were species dependent. Elevated [CO2], (3) strongly mitigated the impact of temperature on both species, particularly at 42/34 °C, modifying the response to supra-optimal temperatures, (4) promoted higher water-use efficiency under moderately higher temperature (31/25 °C) and (5) did not provoke photosynthetic downregulation. Instead, enhancements in [CO2] strengthened photosynthetic photochemical efficiency, energy use and biochemical functioning at all temperatures. Our novel findings demonstrate a relevant heat resilience of coffee species and that elevated [CO2] remarkably mitigated the impact of heat on coffee physiology, therefore playing a key role in this crop sustainability under future climate change scenarios.

    Abstract Acclimations to low and high light levels are located in opposite extremes. We examined how the coffee plant (Coffea arabica), which is considered to be shade-demanding although it performs well under full sun exposure, can acclimate to a range of light regimens. We hypothesised that the growth and physiological performance depends on the total amount of light received by the plant per day and on the temporal order of diurnal variations in the light supply. The biomass accumulation and allocation and the key photosynthetic traits of pot-grown coffee seedlings were examined over a range of light treatments as follows: plants grown entirely under 100%, 40% or 10% sunlight; plants grown at either 40% or 10% sunlight from sunrise to midday and then submitted to full sunlight until sunset; and plants grown under full sunlight from sunrise to midday and then submitted to either 40% or 10% sunlight throughout the afternoon. The total biomass increased linearly with the increasing total light supply; however, plants receiving high amounts of light in the morning grew more than those receiving high amounts of light in the afternoon. Extensive morphological changes (e.g., specific leaf areas and leaf area ratios) primarily responsive to total light rather than diurnal light fluctuations or light quality, at a given light supply, were noted. In contrast, changes in the photosynthetic performance per unit leaf area among the treatments were narrower and apparently unrelated to carbohydrate accumulation or photoinhibition. Overall, we found a poor leaf-level physiological plasticity of traits to light. We suggest that adjustments in leaf number and leaf area, coupled with whole-plant physiological adjustments, could largely account for the differences in the biomass amongst treatments. We also suggest that coffee could be classified as a shade-tolerant species as its traits do not match the requirements of either a classic shade-avoiding or a classic shade-demanding species.

      "The experiments were conducted in Vicosa (20◦45 S, 42◦54 W; 650m in altitude) in southeastern Brazil. Uniform coffee seedlings (C. arabica L. cv. 'Red Catuaí IAC 44') were grown from seeds and transplanted after growing three leaf pairs (January 7, 2010) into 12L pots containing a mixture of soil, sand and composted manure (4:1:1v/v/v)." (p. 2)

      "After transplantation, the seedlings were randomlysubmittedtosevenlighttreatmentsasfollows:plantsgrown entirely under 100%, 40% or 10% sunlight (S-100, S-40 and S-10, respectively); plants grown every day at either 40% or 10% sunlight throughout the morning (from sunset to midday) and then submitted to full sunlight until sunrise (S-40/100 and S-10/100, respectively); and plants grown every day under full sunlight from sunrise to midday and then submitted to either 40% or 10% sunlight throughout the afternoon (S-100/40 and S-100/10, respectively)." (p. 2)

      "All of these light treatment combinations were applied for 150 days. The shade shelters were provided by neutral density black nylon nettings." (p. 2)

      "The plants were irrigated and fertilised as required, and no apparent restriction was observed in the root development at the end of the experiment." (p. 2)

      "The shade shelters did not alter the quality of the transmitted light compared to direct sunlight, as deduced by the unchanging blue/red and red/far red ratios (approximately 0.98 and 1.17," (p. 3)

      "respectively), as determined at midday. These ratios, although differing at both dawn and dusk, were virtually unchanged by the black nettings that were used (Table 1)." (p. 4)

      "The total biomass increased linearly with the increasing total PAR supply (r2 =0.93, P<0.001; Fig. 2) with numbers ranging from 9.4g in S-10 plants to 53.8g in their S-100 counterparts (Fig. 3)." (p. 4)

      "These results indicate that the biomass accumulation responded not only to the total PAR but also to the temporal scales of the PAR supply; these findings were additionally highlighted by the larger (52%) biomass in S-100/10 than in S-10/100 individuals despite the small differences in the total PAR supply (Fig. 1), whereas the differences (18%) in biomass between the S-100/40 and S-40/100 individuals did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 3)." (p. 4)

      "However, a greater (35%) biomass was observed in S-100/40 compared to S-40 individuals (Fig. 3)." (p. 4)

      "The plant heights decreased significantly (18%) in the S-10 plants compared to plants from the other treatments, which did not differ from one another." (p. 4)

      "The highest leaf numbers were observed in S-100 individuals and decreased by 23% and 71% in the S-40 and S-10 treatments, respectively" (p. 4)

      "In plants that were subjected to temporal variations in the PAR availability, the leaf number in the S-40/100 and S-100/40 plants were similar, whereas the number in S-100/10 individuals was 20% greater than in the S-10/100 individuals (Fig. 3)." (p. 4)

      "Compared to the S-100 plants, decreases in the total leaf area were observed in S-40 (21%) and S-10 plants (64%)." (p. 4)

      "The total leaf areas were similar in S-40/100 and S-100/40 plants, but they were lower (29%) in S-10/100 plants than in their S-100/10 counterparts." (p. 4)

      "The numbers of plagiotropic branches were remarkably lower in S-10 individuals and did not differ among the plants from the other treatments." (p. 4)

      "Despite our light quality assessments having been confined to a few days, it should be emphasised that the spectrum of the global radiation is remarkably constant irrespective of the season and weather conditions at a given latitude as long as the sun is more than 10◦ above the horizon (Smith, 1982)." (p. 8)

      "In agreement with our working hypothesis, we herein demonstrated that the ability of the coffee plant to accumulate biomass depended on the total PAR, though the amount of the PAR that was received by the plants during the morning played a more significant role than that received during the afternoon in driving the biomass accumulation, a fact probably related to improved gas exchanges throughout the morning." (p. 8)

      "Furthermore, we also demonstrated that whole-plant physiological adjustments could largely account for the differences in the biomass, particularly in the plants subjected to changing PAR supplies." (p. 8)

      "When comparing the S-100, S-40 and S-10 individuals, the behaviourofthemorphologicaltraitswiththedecreasinglightsupply is clearly consistent with the shade avoidance acclimations (Yu and Ong, 2003; Franklin and Whitelam, 2005; Forster et al., 2011): increased LAR and SLA, increased allocation to orthotropic stems, delayed branching (less allocation to plagiotropic branches) and decreased allocation to roots" (p. 9)

      "Despite the plant height being lower in the S-10 plants, its height-to-stem diameter ratio (the slenderness index) was higher than in the plants from the other treatments (data not shown), once again highlighting a shading avoidance strategy (Yagi, 2009) of the coffee seedlings." (p. 9)

      "However, all of these plastic responses to the PAR supply were apparently independent on light quality, in contrast to what has been seen in true shade-avoiding species in which changes in blue light and red/far red ratios are known to play important roles in morphogenetic processes such as leaf formation and leaf morphology (Franklin, 2008)." (p. 9)

      "Ultimately, changes in growth responses associated with diminished PAR levels in the absence of spectral alterations suggest a behaviour more consistent with shade-tolerant than shade-avoiding species (Griffith and Sultan, 2005)." (p. 9)

      "Therefore, in line with the suggestion of Matos et al. (2009) based on leaf-level traits, it is tempting to consider the modern coffee cultivars behave as shade-tolerant as their traits do not match the requirements of either a classic shade-avoiding or a classic shadedemanding species." (p. 9)

    Abstract The leaf economics spectrum (LES) refers to a suite of correlated leaf-level physiological, morphological, and chemical traits that can be used to describe life-history strategy among plant species. Documenting LES trait variation across environmental gradients has been important for understanding natural plant community dynamics in response to environmental change. However few studies have examined how LES traits covary within crops, or how the LES is correlated with farm-level management practices or goals, especially for important tree-crops such as coffee. We analyzed within-species variation in eight leaf traits in 60 Coffea arabica plants, across four management treatments differing in shade-tree species composition, to test (i) if hypothesized LES patterns also describe within-species trait variation, and (ii) if LES traits vary in response to management regimes, or are correlated with reproductive output. Leaf traits varied widely across coffee plants with photosynthetic rates (Amass) and leaf area showing especially high variation. In bivariate and multivariate analyses, coffee leaf traits covaried in patterns consistent with the LES, suggesting shifts between leaf-level resource acquisition and conservation traits among plants may also underpin coffee responses to agroforestry management. The position of a coffee plant along the LES (as described by a principal component analysis score) was best explained by light availability, but did not vary systematically with shade tree composition. LES traits were weakly but significantly related to plant-level reproductive output: coffee plants associated with lower Amass and leaf N values, and higher leaf mass per area were associated with greater reproductive output. In showing that the LES describes resource capture and/or conservation strategies among coffee plants, our study represents a novel adoption of the LES to address applied questions in managed systems. Since within species differences in leaf traits partially explain differences in coffee yield, we also suggest that trait-based research in agroecology can contribute to an applied and comprehensive understanding of crop functional biology, and ultimately, agroecosystem structure and function.

    Abstract The coffee plant is native to shaded environments and its seedlings are often produced in shaded nurseries. However, some nursery managers, in an effort to improve the acclimation of seedlings to field conditions after transplantation, produce seedlings in full sun exposure. In this study, the morphological and physiological parameters of arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) seedlings produced in full sun (T1) and in shade (T2) were examined. The biomass accumulation and relative growth rate of T1 and T2 seedlings were similar. The T1 seedlings had less biomass allocation to shoots, a lower leaf mass ratio and a lower leaf area ratio; however, they had a greater net assimilation rate (rate of increase in plant mass per unit leaf area), which was associated with a greater net photosynthetic rate. There were no alterations in the concentrations of total chlorophylls or in the chlorophyll a/b ratio when comparing T1 and T2 seedlings. No indications of photoinhibition or photooxidative damage were observed in the T1 plants, which were shown to have a more robust antioxidant system than the T2 plants. Seedlings transferred from shade to full sun (T3) were not capable of utilising the incident extra light to fix CO2. These seedlings showed a remarkable nocturnal retention of zeaxanthin and a significantly increased deepoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle, even at predawn, but the activity of antioxidant enzymes was lower than in the T1 and T2 plants. Despite the acclimation capacity of T3 seedlings to the new light environment, they exhibited chronic photoinhibition and considerable photooxidative damage throughout the seven days following the transfer to full sun exposure. We further discuss the practical implications of producing coffee seedlings in full sunlight and under shade.

      "At 135 DAT, biomass accumulation and the relative growth rate (RGR) were similar between plants grown in full sun (T1) and in the shade (T2); however, NAR was greater in the former (Table 1)." (p. 201)

      "As a whole, such behaviour should be associated with a greater NAR of the T1 plants, which should be associated with greater PN of those plants over time" (p. 203)

      "Furthermore, the pattern of biomass allocation of the T1 plants should enable them to gain greater access to water and nutrients (larger RMR) in addition to having a smaller total transpiration rate (smaller leaf area), which would allow for a better acclimation after transplantation into the field."

In their study, Paiva et al. (2003) observed S/R ratio values of around 6.0 for plants under 50% shading as well as those under full sun. In contrast, in this study, the S/R ratio varied between 1.6 and 2.5. An elevated S/R ratio can indicate a spatial restriction of root growth; in this case, the balance between the roots and the shoot is probably lost, so the roots would not succeed in supplying the shoot properly, especially with water (Poorter and Nagel 2000, Ronchi et al. 2006)." (p. 204)

      "Nonetheless, no evidence of chronic photoinhibition or photooxidative damages was observed, as the T1 plants exhibited a discreet decrease in the Fv/Fm ratio with recovery at predawn, in addition to showing an MDA concentration similar to that of the T2 plants." (p. 204)

      "Thus, it is suggested that the decreased activity of antioxidant enzymes is a reflection of an excessive increase in ROS production after an abrupt change from a shaded environment to full sun, which ultimately contributed to a lower capacity of the plant to properly adjust to the greater excitation pressure in the new light environment." (p. 206)

      "These results fully agree with those reported by Ramalho and co-workers (1998, 1999, 2000), who showed that coffee plants (cv. 'Catuaí') with adequate nitrogen nutrition were able to recover from the photoinhibitory impact only after the 7th day after transferring plants from shade to high-light conditions." (p. 206)

      "Such a recovery, which involved improved photosynthetic performance and strengthening of antioxidant mechanisms (e.g., zeaxanthin, APX and GR activities), was almost completed after 14 days in high light." (p. 206)

      "The fact that seedlings present larger leaves (and a larger leaf area) and are greener (usually indicating a larger Chl concentration) when grown in the shade as compared to full sun can transmit a false perception of greater vigour of the plant." (p. 206)

      "In addition, the physiological performance of seedlings grown in full sun was superior to that of seedlings grown in the shade and transferred to full sunlight, as deduced from greater photosynthetic rates (and larger NAR) accompanied by a more robust antioxidative system, which, collectively, was reflected by an adequate capacity for photoprotection, even under high irradiance." (p. 206)

      "In summary, the cultivation of coffee seedlings in full sun was shown to be a viable option that should be considered by coffee growers due to the superior performance of these seedlings as compared to seedlings grown in the shade." (p. 206)

    Abstract Limitations to photosynthesis were explored in leaves from four canopy positions of field-grown, unshaded coffee (Coffea arabica L.), a tropical tree species classified as shade-obligatory. Overall, compared to shade (lower) leaves, sun (upper) leaves had higher net carbon assimilation rate (A) (4.5 against 2.0μmolm−2s−1 at most) associated with higher electron transport rate (due to a greater irradiance availability) but unrelated to stomatal and mesophyll conductances, which were similar regardless of leaf position. Neither physiological variable directly involved with photosynthetic carbon gain nor those involved with light capture were able to adjust themselves to match the capacity of the photosynthetic machinery to the light supply. We concluded that: (i) there was no major difference in photosynthetic capacity between sun and shade leaves; (ii) the intrinsic low A in coffee was greatly associated with remarkable low diffusive limitations rather than with biochemical or photochemical constraints; and (iii) morphological (e.g., variations in specific leaf area and leaf inclination) or anatomical plasticity should be of greater acclimative value than physiological plasticity as a mean of coffee leaves to respond to changing irradiance.

    Abstract The root microbiome of Central American coffee trees was studied from four different sites experiencing different annual temperatures and precipitation levels, sampling from plots grown conventionally and under agroforestry management (with shade trees). Total community DNA was separately extracted from roots from four trees sampled from each site/management pair and analyzed using terminal restriction fragment polymorphism analysis and also next generation sequencing (Illumina) of fungal and bacterial ribosomal amplicons. Community profiles were analyzed for site and management effects and correlations to environmental parameters and tree leaf and root economic traits. Communities of both bacteria and fungi varied with site locations, but were not impacted by management system type. They also both varied strongly with environmental parameters. Fungal communities also showed significant variation that could be attributed to plant leaf and root traits. Pooled DNA samples from each site/management regime were used to generate amplicons for next generation sequencing to determine the dominant members of the coffee root microbiome at these locations. Core bacterial genera included Pantoea, Enterobacter, and Burkholderia, while fungal core communities were dominated by members of Cladosporium, Penicillium, Exidiopsis, Trechispora, and Mycena. The potential ecological function of these microbial associates is discussed.

      "Fruits may not initiate growth immediately after flowering, but may remain in a latent state of up to 60 days after pollination or anthesis (DAA);" (p. 150)

      "Observations made at the Coffee Genebank of the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, in Brazil, have shown that the length of the seed maturation process is different depending on the species. C. arabica seeds are mature after 210-250 DAA, while C. canephora seeds take 300-350 days, C. dewevrei and C. liberica around 360 days, and C. racemosa only 90 days (Medina Filho et al., 1984; Carvalho et al., 1991)." (p. 151)

      "Although not yet fully differentiated and developed, cotyledonary embryos isolated from seeds of C. arabica between 120 and 150 DAA are able to germinate and develop into seedlings when directly incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture medium, demonstrating that embryos acquire the ability to germinate when immature (table 1; Estanislau, 2002)." (p. 152)

      "On the other hand, whole seeds are able to germinate on water only when isolated from yellowishgreen fruits at around 225 DAA (table 2; Estanislau, 2002), corroborating the observations of Carvalho and Alvarenga (1979). This demonstrates a repression of the germination of immature embryos when enclosed in the developing coffee seeds, indicating the existence of a mechanism that maintains the embryo and the seed in a developmental mode while on the parent plant." (p. 152)

      "Ellis and colleagues reported that the minimum water content to which seeds of C. arabica, C. canephora and C. liberica can be dried without damage is about 0.09 g H2O.g-1 dw, 0.10-0.12 g H2O.g-1 dw and 0.24 g H2O.g-1 dw, respectively (Ellis et al., 1990, 1991; Hong and Ellis, 1995)." (p. 155)

      "More recent studies of C. racemosa, C. sessiliflora and C. costatifructa suggest greater sensitivity" (p. 155)

      "to desiccation in these species with damage evident upon drying from an initial water content of 0.30 g H2O.g-1 dw (C. racemosa and C. sessiliflora), or with drying to water contents below 0.19 g H2O.g-1 dw (C. costatifructa) (Dussert et al., 1998)." (p. 156)

      "Critical water contents and the way they have been reported by different laboratories vary slightly but the ranking of desiccation sensitivity of Coffea species appears to be consistent." (p. 156)

      "Similarly, van der Vossen (1979) reported that storing arabica coffee seeds containing 0.15 to 0.50 g H2O.g-1 dw at 5°C results in an immediate loss of viability." (p. 156)

      "Early reports showed that arabica coffee seeds with water contents adjusted to 0.11-0.12 g H2O.g-1 dw survive temperatures as low as -10 or -16°C for 10 days (Wellman and Toole, 1960)." (p. 156)

      "Similar results were obtained by Eira et al. (1999a) for C. racemosa, C. arabica, C. canephora, C. congensis and C. dewevrei. Even at ultra low temperatures such as that of liquid nitrogen (-150 to -196°C) seed of several species of Coffea can survive if they are first desiccated to water contents of 0.20 g H2O.g-1 dw" (p. 156)

      "Because of the difficulties of storing the seed, coffee germplasm is maintained in field collections, presenting significant problems, such as land and labor costs, susceptibility to environmental hazards and pathogens (Berthaud and Charrier, 1988)." (p. 157)

      "Decreasing the storage temperature to 5°C considerably slowed the loss of seed viability, the amount of oxidative stress and the rate of lipid hydrolysis. No decline in seed viability occurred under storage conditions of 45 % RH/ 20°C. After 1 year at 45 % RH/5°C, the loss of seed viability was due to imbibitional damage and could be circumvented by pre-humidifying or pre-heating seeds before sowing." (p. 159)

    Abstract Quantitative analyses of low molecular sugars in green coffees (Coffea arabica L. var. Acaià) that were processed in parallel either by the traditional wet or the traditional dry method, revealed a close correlation between the kind of post-harvest treatment and the contents of fructose and glucose. While in washed coffee beans (wet processing) only low amounts of these both hexoses were present, those in unwashed coffees (dry processing) were significantly higher. Model-processing experiments in the laboratory confirmed these findings. Moreover, a comparison with the untreated controls revealed that the low levels of both sugars are the consequence of a decrease in the case of wet processing, whereas they remained unchanged or even increased in the case of dry processing. Further minor sugars are also affected by post-harvest treatment. The amounts of galactose, arabinose and mannose show a similar arrangement as those for glucose and fructose, although their overall concentration is about 100-fold lower. Sucrose, the major low molecular sugar in green coffee beans, is not significantly affected by coffee processing. The influence of an active seed metabolism on the observed alterations of the sugar concentrations is discussed.

    Abstract In this study, the combined effects of light and water availability on the functional relationships of the relative growth rate (RGR), leaf chemical composition, construction and maintenance costs, and benefits in terms of payback time for Coffea arabica are presented. Coffee plants were grown for 8 months in 100% or 15% full sunlight and then a four-month water shortage was implemented. Plants grown under full sunlight were also transferred to shade and vice versa. Overall, most of the traits assessed were much more responsive to the availability of light than to the water supply. Larger construction costs (12%), primarily associated with elevated phenol and alkaloid pools, were found under full sunlight. There was a positive correlation between these compounds and the RGR, the mass-based net carbon assimilation rate and the carbon isotope composition ratio, which, in turn, correlated negatively with the specific leaf area. The payback time was remarkably lower in the sun than in shade leaves and increased greatly in water-deprived plants. The differences in maintenance costs among the treatments were narrow, with no significant impact on the RGR, and there was no apparent trade-off in resource allocation between growth and defence. The current irradiance during leaf bud formation affected both the specific leaf area and leaf physiology upon transferring the plants from low to high light and vice versa. In summary, sun-grown plants fixed more carbon for growth and secondary metabolism, with the net effect of an increased RGR.

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) has been traditionally considered as shade-demanding, although it performs well without shade and even out-yields shaded coffee. Here we investigated how coffee plants adjust their metabolic machinery to varying light supply and whether these adjustments are supported by a reprogramming of the primary and secondary metabolism. We demonstrate that coffee plants are able to adjust its metabolic machinery to high light conditions through marked increases in its antioxidant capacity associated with enhanced consumption of reducing equivalents. Photorespiration and alternative pathways are suggested to be key players in reductant-consumption under high light conditions. We also demonstrate that both primary and secondary metabolism undergo extensive reprogramming under high light supply, including depression of the levels of intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle that were accompanied by an up-regulation of a range of amino acids, sugars and sugar alcohols, polyamines and flavonoids such as kaempferol and quercetin derivatives. When taken together, the entire dataset is consistent with these metabolic alterations being primarily associated with oxidative stress avoidance rather than representing adjustments in order to facilitate the plants from utilizing the additional light to improve their photosynthetic performance.

    Abstract Natural supply of nitrogen is often limiting coffee production. From the viewpoints of growth and biomass production, adequate nitrogen supply is important. Growing coffee under full sunlight not only enhances potential yields but also increases demands for nitrogen fertilizer, the extent of which is ill quantified. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of N uptake and distribution, biomass production, photosynthetic characteristics of 2.5 years old trees and first bean yields of 3.5 years old coffee trees in response to four radiation treatments (30%–100% of full sun), factorially combined with four rates of nitrogen supply (0–88g tree−1 y−1). The experiment was arranged in a randomized split-split plot design and was conducted at Jimma University horticultural farm, Ethiopia, using three coffee varieties. With larger N application and higher level of radiation, more N was utilized and more biomass and yield were produced. The fertilizer-N recovery ranged from 7 to 17% and declined with larger N supply and increased with radiation level. Coffee trees provided with larger amount of N had higher amounts of N per unit leaf area, light-saturated rate of leaf photosynthesis and first bean yield compared to trees grown in low N supply and limited radiation. The relation between biomass and plant N content was conservative across coffee varieties and can be used to estimate N content from biomass or calculate required uptake to produce a given amount of biomass. Though testing of the relation for other climatic conditions is advisable, this relation can also be used in the development of process-based quantitative coffee tree growth models,. Achieving synchronies between N supply and coffee trees demand without excess or deficiency requires further investigation of options to improve the low nitrogen recovery.

    Abstract The overall coordination between gas exchanges and plant hydraulics may be affected by soil water availability and source-to-sink relationships. Here we evaluated how branch growth and mortality, leaf gas exchange and metabolism are affected in coffee (Coffea arabica L.) trees by drought and fruiting. Field-grown plants were irrigated or not, and maintained with full or no fruit load. Under mild water deficit, irrigation per se did not significantly impact growth but markedly reduced branch mortality in fruiting trees, despite similar leaf assimilate pools and water status. Fruiting increased net photosynthetic rate in parallel with an enhanced stomatal conductance, particularly in irrigated plants. Mesophyll conductance and maximum RuBisCO carboxylation rate remained unchanged across treatments. The increased stomatal conductance in fruiting trees over nonfruiting ones was unrelated to internal CO2 concentration, foliar abscisic acid (ABA) levels or differential ABA sensitivity. However, stomatal conductance was associated with higher stomatal density, lower stomatal sensitivity to vapor pressure deficit, and higher leaf hydraulic conductance and capacitance. Increased leaf transpiration rate in fruiting trees was supported by coordinated alterations in plant hydraulics, which explained the maintenance of plant water status. Finally, by preventing branch mortality, irrigation can mitigate biennial production fluctuations and improve the sustainability of coffee plantations.

    Abstract This study aims to evaluate and provide an overview of farmers’ knowledge and understanding on the Good Agriculture Practice (GAP) of Arabica coffee cultivation and its implementation level on the smallholder estate in Enrekang Regency. The research was conducted in three districts of coffee plantation centre from December 2017 to January 2018. The research was carried out in the form of surveys including interviews, observations, and literature studies. A total of 30 respondents were selected using a purposive sampling method in addition to several key respondents from stakeholders and experts. Criteria for the selection was based on the involvement of the farmers in a GAP field schools or not. A proportional ratio of farmers involved in program and not involved were set for the survey. Data were analysed descriptively and quantitatively using comparative analysis with SPSS Version 16 to determine the difference in production of two groups of farmers. The results show that the overall implementation level of GAP by the smallholder farmers of Arabica coffee in Enrekang Regency is 54%. Highest level of GAP implementation was on post-harvest aspect (77%), followed by the harvest aspect (61%). The smallholder coffee farmers had the lowest GAP level on in cultivation aspect of 24%. Farmers that did not implement the GAP had a significantly lower production compared to the farmers who have participated in GAP field schools.

      "Local Arabica varieties are varieties that are used by farmers for generations or self-breeding from previous plantations or coffee plantations in the vicinity which are difficult to identify the original varieties. However, the results of direct identification of local Arabica varieties are closer to Catimor varieties, but there are no supporting sources that confirm the local Arabica varieties are Catimor."

    Abstract In certain of the coffee-growing areas of East Africa a serious trouble known as 'overbearing and die-back' occurs. This has been described (Nutman, 1933) and evidence opresented for the view that the heavy demands for carbohydrate by the developing crop exhaust the reserves, and exceed the normal daily carbon income of the tree. The branches then die back; the greater part of the feeding roots is lost and not regenerated ; and the tree is permanently injured. Although it may not die for several years it remains unproductive. Since shortage of carbohydrate is associated with this form of die-back it is apparent that, if the rate of cropping is not to be reduced, means of control must be sought in an increase of the normal carbon income of the tree. Thus a knowledge of the rates of carbon assimilation of trees growing under plantation conditions is of importance. This paper deals with the results of an investigation into the rates of carbon assimilation under field conditions by leaves of Coffea arabica growing in the coffee districts of the Northern

    Abstract Effect of Brassin-like substance on chemical compositions of Arabica coffee seeds was studied during early germination. The substance has played an important role in promoting seed germination and chemical composi-tion during germination. In this study, coffee seeds were soaked in four Brassin-like substance (BS) concentrations 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L for 24 hours before germination test. Total sugars, protein and fat contents were determined at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days after soaking. The study was conducted as 4 × 5 factorial in completely randomized design: CRD. The results revealed that BS application significantly effected on nutritional quality during early germination. Total sugars reached the highest amount at day 8 when soaked in 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L BS. As for protein content, coffee seeds in every treatment showed the greatest amount at day 4 of germination especially, of coffee seeds for ones soaked in 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L BS. Fat content gradually increased upon the first 4 days of germination. Coffee seeds in 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L BS showed higher fat content than the seeds soaked in 0 and 0.5 mg/L BS. Therefore, BS application could be a promising alternative regulator for enhancing coffee seed quality during early germination.

    Abstract Despite the importance of coffee as a globally traded commodity and increasing concerns about risks associated with climate change, there is virtually no information about the effects of rising atmospheric [CO2] on field-grown coffee trees. This study shows the results of the first 2 years of an innovative experiment. Two commercial coffee cultivars (Catuaí and Obatã) were grown using the first free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) facility in Latin America (ClimapestFACE). Plants of both cultivars maintained relatively high photosynthetic rates, water-use efficiency, increased growth and yield under elevated [CO2]. Harvestable crop yields increased 14.6 % for Catuaí and 12.0 % for Obatã. Leaf N content was lower in Obatã (5.2 %) grown under elevated [CO2] than under ambient [CO2]; N content was unresponsive to elevated [CO2] in Catuaí. Under elevated [CO2] reduced incidence of leaf miners (Leucoptera coffeella) occurred on both coffee cultivars during periods of high infestation. The percentage of leaves with parasitized and predated mines increased when leaf miner infestation was high, but there was no effect of elevated [CO2] on the incidence of natural enemies. The incidence of rust (Hemileia vastatrix) and Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora coffeicola) was low during the trial, with maximum values of 5.8 and 1 %, respectively, and there was no significant effect of [CO2] treatments on disease incidence. The fungal community associated with mycotoxins was not affected by the treatments.

    Abstract Modeling studies have predicted that coffee crop will be endangered by future global warming, but recent reports highlighted that high [CO2] can mitigate heat impacts on coffee. This work aimed at identifying heat protective mechanisms promoted by CO2 in Coffea arabica (cv. Icatu and IPR108) and Coffea canephora cv. Conilon CL153. Plants were grown at 25/20°C (day/night), under 380 or 700 μL CO2 L−1, and then gradually submitted to 31/25, 37/30, and 42/34°C. Relevant heat tolerance up to 37/30°C for both [CO2] and all coffee genotypes was observed, likely supported by the maintenance or increase of the pools of several protective molecules (neoxanthin, lutein, carotenes, α-tocopherol, HSP70, raffinose), activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT), and the upregulated expression of some genes (ELIP, Chaperonin 20). However, at 42/34°C a tolerance threshold was reached, mostly in the 380-plants and Icatu. Adjustments in raffinose, lutein, β-carotene, α-tocopherol and HSP70 pools, and the upregulated expression of genes related to protective (ELIPS, HSP70, Chape 20, and 60) and antioxidant (CAT, CuSOD2, APX Cyt, APX Chl) proteins were largely driven by temperature. However, enhanced [CO2] maintained higher activities of GR (Icatu) and CAT (Icatu and IPR108), kept (or even increased) the Cu,Zn-SOD, APX, and CAT activities, and promoted a greater upregulation of those enzyme genes, as well as those related to HSP70, ELIPs, Chaperonins in CL153, and Icatu. These changes likely favored the maintenance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at controlled levels and contributed to mitigate of photosystem II photoinhibition at the highest temperature. Overall, our results highlighted the important role of enhanced [CO2] on the coffee crop acclimation and sustainability under predicted future global warming scenarios.

    Abstract Modelling studies predicted that climate change will have strong impacts on the coffee crop, although no information on the effective impact of elevated CO2 on this plant exists. Here, we aim at providing a first glimpse on the effect of the combined impact of enhanced [CO2] and high temperature on the leaf mineral content and balance on this important tropical crop. Potted plants from two genotypes of Coffea arabica (cv. Icatu and IPR 108) and one from C. canephora (cv. Conilon Clone 153) were grown under 380 or 700 μL CO2 L−1 air, for 1 year, after which were exposed to an stepwise increase in temperature from 25/20 °C (day/night) up to 42/34 °C, over 8 weeks. Leaf macro − (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S) and micronutrients (B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) concentrations were analyzed at 25/20 °C (control), 31/25 °C, 37/30 °C and 42/34 °C. At the control temperature, the 700 μL L−1 grown plants showed a moderate dilution effect (between 7 % and 25 %) in CL 153 (for N, Mg, Ca, Fe) and Icatu (for N, K and Fe), but not in IPR 108 (except for Fe) when compared to the 380 μL L−1 plants. For temperatures higher than control most nutrients tended to increase, frequently presenting maximal contents at 42/34 °C (or 37/30 °C), although the relation between [CO2] treatments did not appreciably change. Such increases offset the few dilution effects observed under high growth [CO2] at 25/20 °C. No clear species responses were found considering [CO2] and temperature impacts, although IPR 108 seemed less sensitive to [CO2]. Despite the changes promoted by [CO2] and heat, the large majority of mineral ratios were kept within a range considered adequate, suggesting that this plant can maintain mineral balances in a context of climate changes and global warming.

    Abstract Knowing the genetic variability of a population is essential for guiding its preservation and maintenance, in addition to increasing the efficiency of genetic breeding programs. On this basis, the objective of this work was to estimate the genetic parameters, and to study genetic divergence in a coffee plants population constituted by 30 genotypes of Coffea canephora and 4 of C. arabica, by means of univariate and multivariate statistical procedures based on easy to obtain leaf morpho-anatomic characteristics (stomata number; index, density, area index, polar diameter, equatorial diameter, and functionality, as well as leaf area, dry weight, and specific dry weight). The materials were arranged in a randomized-blocks experimental design with four replicates. Significant differences were detected by the F-test (p < 0.01) between genotypes of Coffea sp. and for all morphological characters evaluated. This highlighted the heterogeneity of the genetic constitution of the evaluated population, which is quite relevant for the genetic divergence analysis and for breeding purposes, having the potential to identify superior genotypes. The tests of Scott-Knott allowed to detect variability between genotypes for all evaluated leaf morpho-anatomical characteristics, distributing genotypes in up to five groups. The clusters formed by Tocher’s optimization and the UPGMA hierarchical method were concordant, grouping the genotypes in ten and seven groups, respectively, showing similarities in the clusters. Three of the four clustered genotypes of C. arabica constituted an exclusive group for this species, in both methods. The characteristics with higher contribution to such distribution were stomata density (37.1%), number (17.3%), and index (12.1%), which together were responsible for 66.5% of the genetic diversity between the studied genotypes.

    Abstract Climate forecasts suggest that [CO2] in the atmosphere will continue to increase. Structural and ecophysiological responses to elevated air [CO2] (e[CO2]) in tree species are contradictory due to species-dependent responses and relatively short-term experiments. It was hypothesized that long-term exposure (4 year) to e[CO2] would change canopy structure and function of Coffea arabica trees.Coffee plants were grown in a FACE (free air CO2 enrichment) facility under two air [CO2]: actual and elevated (actual + approx. 200 μL CO2 L–1). Plants were codified following the VPlants methodology to obtain coffee mock-ups. Plant canopies were separated into three 50 cm thick layers over a vertical profile to evaluate their structure and photosynthesis, using functional–structural plant modelling.Leaf area was strongly reduced on the bottom and upper canopy layers, and increased soil carbon concentration suggested changes in carbon partitioning of coffee trees under e[CO2]. Increased air [CO2] stimulated stomatal conductance and leaf photosynthesis at the middle and upper canopy layers, increasing water-use efficiency. Under e[CO2], plants showed reduced diameter of the second-order axes and higher investment in the youngest third to fifth-order axes.The responses of Arabica coffee grown under long-term exposure to e[CO2] integrated structural and functional modifications, which balanced leaf area loss through improvements in leaf and whole-plant photosynthesis.

    Abstract Whole-canopy gas exchange provides a more accurate measurement of CO2 assimilation (Ac) and transpiration (Ec) compared to single-leaf. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whole-canopy gas exchange of 2 coffee species: Coffea arabica cv. Catuaí Amarelo-Catuaí and Coffea canephora cv. Emcapa 8111 Clone 02–Clone 02 during two different seasons varying in temperature. Six plants >1-year-old of each species were grown in pots (100L) in a greenhouse. Soil moisture was maintained at field capacity. Data were continuously collected for 10days during spring (September 2014—moderate temperatures) and summer (February 2015 with high temperature) and micrometeorological variables were monitored inside the greenhouse. Catuaí had a lower area leaf and higher branch angle resulting in greater light distribution within the canopy that contributed to higher net photosynthesis and transpiration as compared to Clone 02 in both seasons. Catuaí had reduced whole-canopy CO2 assimilation and transpiration during summer, mainly linked to reduced whole-canopy conductance. However, Clone 02 had similar whole-canopy CO2 assimilation and transpiration values in both seasons. Despite reduced gas exchange for Catuaí during summer, the relationship between Ac and Ec indicated that Catuaí had a greater instantaneous WUEc than Clone 02 during spring and there were no differences between species during summer. The dense canopy architecture of Clone 02 limited whole-canopy gas exchange due to poor light distribution within the canopy whereas Catuaí had better canopy light distribution resulting in higher photosynthetic rates than Clone 02 during spring. Additionally, the architecture had a negative effect when Catuaí experiences increased temperature that reduced whole-canopy conductance. High temperatures may limit the growth and production of coffee plants in tropical areas.

    Abstract Temperature increase assumes a prominent role in the context of expected climate change because of its significant impact on plant metabolism. High temperature can affect the carbon-assimilation pathway at both stomatal and non-stomatal levels, mainly through stomatal closure and photochemical and biochemical limitations. In general, however, plants have some ability to trigger acclimation mechanisms to cope with stressful conditions, especially if the limitations are imposed in a gradual manner during seasonal change. This study aims at evaluating changes at stomatal and photochemical levels in Coffea arabica and C. canephora under exposure to mild temperature (spring) and high temperature (summer). Potted plants were maintained in a greenhouse, watered to field capacity and subject to natural variations of light, temperature and relative humidity. In C. arabica, exposure to summer conditions decreased photosynthetic rates (A), stomatal conductance (gs) and stomatal density and increased intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) compared with spring values, whereas C. canephora plants maintained similar values in both seasons. However, C. canephora presented lower A and gs during spring than C. arabica. Because photosynthetic capacity (Amax), photosynthetic performance index and membrane permeability were similar between genotypes and seasons, and maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) and photosynthetic pigments were not affected in C. arabica in summer, we conclude that under high temperature conditions, stomatal closure imposes the major limitation on C. arabica photosynthesis in summer. Finally, both coffee genotypes were able to avoid damage to photochemistry pathway under supra-optimal temperatures.

    Abstract The objective of the study was to differentiate genotypes with higher efficiency and responsiveness to nitrogen supply, to understand how the nitrogen supply can impact the dry matter allocation and the accumulation of this nutrient in the different plant compartments of genotypes of conilon coffee, cultivated under contrasting conditions of nitrogen availability in the soil. The plants were cultivated during 150 days in pots containing 10 kg of soil, in greenhouse. The experiment was set up in a 13×2 factorial scheme, following a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The factors were: 13 genotypes and two levels of nitrogen fertilization (0 and 100% of the N recommended level). The N supply increased between 70 and 210% of the total dry matter and between 360 and 680% of the concentration of N content in leaves of the genotypes of conilon coffee. It was possible to observe that the expression of the genotypes was modulated by the availability of N in the soil, since they presented different behaviors in the studied environments (with 0 or 100% of N supply in the soil). The genotypes CV-03, CV-07 and CV-08 were classified as non-efficient and non-responsive, while the genotypes CV- 01, CV-04 and CV-09 of conilon coffee were classified as efficient and responsive.Keywords: Alpha parameter, Coffea canephora (Pierre ex A.

    Abstract The different responses of improved genotypes to alterations of the availability of nutrients indicate that it is possible to modulate the nutritional efficiency by exploring the interaction between the intrinsic response of a genotype and the level of nutrient supply. The objective of this research was to assess the response of genotypes of Coffea arabica L., from different parental lineages, to contrasting environments for N supply, using parameters of growth and nutritional efficiency indexes to explore a possible increase in the nutritional efficiency. The experiment followed a 3&times;3 factorial scheme, in a completely randomized design, with 3 improved genotypes (Acau&atilde;, Katip&oacute; and Top&aacute;zio) and 3 environments with different levels of N availability in the soil (50, 100 and 200% of the recommended supply). The growth and nutritional efficiency of C. arabica is influenced by the effects of the intrinsic differences among genotypes and can be modulated by changes in the environment, based on the response to different supplies of N in the soil. Genotypes from different parental linages are able to present highly contrasting responses to the fertilization with N, indicating a high variability to be explored. Among the studied genotypes, Top&aacute;zio presents higher accumulation of biomass and high nutritional efficiency for absorbing, translocating and using N in environments with low fertility; while Acau&atilde; presents higher efficiency in environments with higher N supply. &nbsp; Key words: Coffee, genotypes, mineral nutrition, variability.

    Abstract We examined the effect of water availability on the nutritional balance of 15 genotypes of the clonal cultivar “Conilon BRS Ouro Preto” of Coffea canephora grown in two contrasting environments in terms of water availability. Biomass production and nutritional balance parameters, based on the deviance from the standard ratio among nutrients for the species, were estimated after 170 days of cultivation in these contrasting environments. The variability of responses among genotypes indicated a favorable for identifying diversity among these genotypes and for selection aiming to explore their nutritional parameters, especially for the concentration of phosphorus and magnesium in green tissues. Cultivation in the environments with low water supply caused losses up to 29% in the biomass production of the young plants (with most severe losses observed for the aerial part); the magnitude of these losses varied among genotypes. Genotypes 125 and 155 accumulated significantly higher amounts of biomass when compared to the others, regardless of the water supply. Overall, the nutritional indexes of the tested genotypes showed greater metabolic inflexibility towards water stress than what is reported for other cultivars of Robusta coffee.

    Abstract Surface and volume measurements are important parameters that affect storage and shipping space, spray and gas applications, respiration rates, water loss or absorption data and heat and mass transfer coefficients. Also, drying models usually neglect the volume and surface alterations of agricultural products during the dehydration process, which leads to machinery and handling inefficiency. That being stated, the objective of the present work was to study the dimension alterations of Coffea Arabic L., cultivar Catuaí Vermelho. Coffee berries were dried at temperatures (T) of 35, 45, 55 and 65 ºC, along with relative humidities φ( ) of 25, 35, 45 and 55 %, totalizing 16 different conditions, with initial moisture content of 2.27 dry basis (d.b.), dried until approximately 0.11 d.b. An equation was proposed to describe the relationship among superficial area with weight values of coffee berries. Changes in the product dimensions were measured continuously during drying utilizing a digital caliper. Surface area-to-volume ratio values increased with moisture content decrease. According to statistical parameters, the empirical equation was suitable to predict surface area of coffee berries. With this result, engineers can predict the surface area of coffee through its weight, providing information that can be used to develop adequate machinery to use in harvest and postharvest procedures.

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is the most significant crop and is consumed all over the world. Twenty-five percent of Ethiopia's population is dependent on the coffee business. Coffee quality can be affected by a variety of factors, including genetic and environmental factors, as well as the level of care given from the field to the bloodletting. On those factors, various studies have been conducted. As a result, this review aims to find out the elements that influence coffee quality in Ethiopia, as well as the analysis gap in coffee quality. Cup quality is also a fancy attribute that is influenced by several elements such as genetics, ecology, cultivation, processing method systems, and storage conditions. One of the most important stages in the preparation of any agricultural product, including coffee, is storage. The quality of coffee is affected by post-harvest operations and the plant's structure. Every stakeholder, including farmers' awareness, has played a part in Ethiopia's intriguing coffee quality.

    Abstract The understorey origin of coffee trees and the strong plasticity of Coffea arabica leaves in relation to contrasting light environments have been largely shown. The adaptability of coffee leaves to changes in light was tested under controlled conditions by increasing the illumination rate on C. arabica var. Naryelis seedlings acclimated to low light conditions and observing leaf responses at three different developmental stages (juvenile, growing and mature). Only mature leaves proved capable of adapting to new light conditions. In these leaves, different major mechanisms were found to contribute to maintaining a good photosynthetic level. With increased illumination, a high photosynthetic response was conserved thanks to fast nitrogen remobilization, as indicated by SPAD values and the photorespiration rate. Efficient photoprotection was accompanied by a great ability to export sucrose, which prevented excessive inhibition of the Calvin cycle by hexose accumulation. In contrast, in younger leaves, increased illumination caused photodamage, observable even after 9 days of treatment. One major finding was that young coffee leaves rely on the accumulation of chlorogenic acids, powerful antioxidant phenolic compounds, to deal with the accumulation of reactive oxygen species rather than on antioxidant enzymes. Due to a lack of efficient photoprotection, a poor ability to export sucrose and inadequate antioxidant protection, younger leaves seemed to be unable to cope with increased illumination. In these leaves, an absence of induced antioxidant enzyme activity was accompanied, in growing leaves, by an absence of antioxidant synthesis or, in juvenile leaves, inefficient synthesis of flavonoids because located in some epidermis cells. These observations showed that coffee leaves, at the beginning of their development, are not equipped to withstand quick switches to higher light levels. Our results confirm that coffee trees, even selected for full sunlight conditions, remain shade plants possessing leaves able to adapt to higher light levels only when mature.

    Abstract Global warming is a major threat to agriculture worldwide. Between 2008 and 2013, some coffee producing countries in South and Central America suffered from severe epidemics of coffee leaf rust (CLR), resulting in high economic losses with social implications for coffee growers. The climatic events not only favored the development of the pathogen but also affected the physiological status of the coffee plant. The main objectives of the study were to evaluate how the physiological status of the coffee plant modified by different environmental conditions impact on the pathogenesis of CLR and to identify indicators of the physiological status able to predict rust incidence. Three rust susceptible genotypes (one inbred line and two hybrids) were grown in controlled conditions with a combination of thermal regime (TR), nitrogen and light intensity close to the field situation before being inoculated with the rust fungus Hemileia vastatrix. It has been demonstrated that a TR of 27-22°C resulted in 2000 times higher sporulation than with a TR of 23–18°C. It has been also shown that high light intensity combined with low nitrogen fertilization modified the CLR pathogenesis resulting in huge sporulation. CLR sporulation was significantly lower in the F1 hybrids than in the inbred line. The hybrid vigor may have reduced disease incidence. Among the many parameters studied, parameters related to photosystem II and photosynthetic electron transport chain components appeared as indicators of the physiological status of the coffee plant able to predict rust sporulation intensity. Taken together, these results show that CLR sporulation not only depends on the TR but also on the physiological status of the coffee plant, which itself depends on agronomic conditions. Our work suggests that vigorous varieties combined with a shaded system and appropriate nitrogen fertilization should be part of an agro-ecological approach to disease control.

    Abstract Mucilage fermentation conducted to degrade and remove coffee mucilage, is an important stage to also define coffee quality, but each microorganism’s contribution to the final quality is not yet known. Therefore, tools are needed to easily identify this relationship in order to be used to enhance coffee quality. The present manuscript describes the behavior of the microbial communities present in fermentations conducted under various conditions, which produced differences in the sensory quality of the coffee as assessed by the community-level catabolic profile approach. The coffee samples camefrom six different fermentation processes that produced coffee in two quality classifications according to the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) protocol: very good and excellent. Functional diversity of the microbial communities and substrate consumption were compared through analysis of variance. The multidimensional scaling analysis was used to identify the similarities or differences between treatments. The indices of functional diversity revealed significantdifferences and direct proportionality with the quality rating. Diversity index (H) was between 2.09 and 2.71 and Evenness was between 1.75 and 2.21. The consumption of groups of substrates was different between fermentations, especially in carbohydrates and carboxylic acids, and the greatest consumption of these was found in the excellent-quality coffee. The different fermentative processes evaluated by this technique showed a high metabolic activity related to the great diversity of substrates given to the microbial communities and microorganisms involved, causing reactions that had influence on the final quality of the product. Key words: Catabolic profiles; Coffee quality; Diversity indices.

    Abstract This paper is the first of three on the coffee production system consisting of (1) the coffee plant, (2) coffee berry borer (CBB) and (3) the role of CBB parasitoids. A previous simulation model of the coffee plant was developed using data from Brazil where coffee phenology is characterized by distinct seasonal flowering (Gutierrez et al., 1998). In contrast, flowering in Colombia is continuous with low seasonality. To capture the differences in coffee phenology and growth in the two climatic regions, the Gutierrez et al. (1998) model was modified using new data from Colombia. The modifications to the model include:(1)The effect of solar radiation on floral buds initiation;(2)An age structure population model to track the daily input and development of the floral buds;(3)The effect of leaf water potential on breaking dormancy in flower buds, and hence on the timing and intensity of flowering;(4)The incorporation of both the vegetative and the reproductive demands to predict the photosynthetic rate.(5)The effect of low temperature on photosynthesis and defoliation. Other aspects of the model were re-interpreted and refinements made to generalize its structure for use across coffee varieties and geographic areas. The model, without modification, realistically simulates field data from Brazil and two Colombian locations having different varieties, patterns of rainfall and hence flowering phenology. The model will be used as the base trophic level for incorporating CBB and high tropic levels effects, and for the analysis of management options in the coffee production system.

    Abstract Coffee is one of the world's most important crops; it is consumed worldwide and plays a significant role in the economy of producing countries. Coffea arabica and C. canephora are responsible for 70 and 30% of commercial production, respectively. C. arabica is an allotetraploid from a recent hybridization of the diploid species, C. canephora and C. eugenioides. C. arabica has lower genetic diversity and results in a higher quality beverage than C. canephora. Research initiatives have been launched to produce genomic and transcriptomic data about Coffea spp. as a strategy to improve breeding efficiency.

    Abstract Polyploidization constitutes a common mode of evolution in flowering plants. This event provides the raw material for the divergence of function in homeologous genes, leading to phenotypic novelty that can contribute to the success of polyploids in nature or their selection for use in agriculture. Mounting evidence underlined the existence of homeologous expression biases in polyploid genomes; however, strategies to analyze such transcriptome regulation remained scarce. Important factors regarding homeologous expression biases remain to be explored, such as whether this phenomenon influences specific genes, how paralogs are affected by genome doubling, and what is the importance of the variability of homeologous expression bias to genotype differences. This study reports the expressed sequence tag assembly of the allopolyploid Coffea arabica and one of its direct ancestors, Coffea canephora. The assembly was used for the discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms through the identification of high-quality discrepancies in overlapped expressed sequence tags and for gene expression information indirectly estimated by the transcript redundancy. Sequence diversity profiles were evaluated within C. arabica (Ca) and C. canephora (Cc) and used to deduce the transcript contribution of the Coffea eugenioides (Ce) ancestor. The assignment of the C. arabica haplotypes to the C. canephora (CaCc) or C. eugenioides (CaCe) ancestral genomes allowed us to analyze gene expression contributions of each subgenome in C. arabica. In silico data were validated by the quantitative polymerase chain reaction and allele-specific combination TaqMAMA-based method. The presence of differential expression of C. arabica homeologous genes and its implications in coffee gene expression, ontology, and physiology are discussed.

    Abstract The high nutritional exigency of new cultivars of coffee led this study to estimate correlations between nutrient contents and to estimate their direct and indirect effects, by path analysis, over the early growth of eight genotypes of 'Coffea arabica' L, cultivated in environments with different levels of phosphorus supply. The experiment was conducted under controlled environment, following an 8 5 factorial scheme, in a completely randomized design, with four replications. The factors studied were eight genotypes of 'Coffea arabica' L. and five conditions of availability of phosphorus in the soil: 0.00, 0.18, 0.36, 0.72, and 1.44 grams of P2O5 per kilogram of soil. The growth analyses were based on dry matter, leaf area, and chlorophyll content accumulated in 150 days of cultivation. The leaf content of P, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn were used as nutritional components. The correlations were estimated and unfolded between direct and indirect effects through path analysis. Significant correlations were observed between nutritional components, and these correlations are modulated by environmental factors, such as soil type and water supply. Different levels of phosphorus fertilization promotes interactions between P Mg, K Ca, Ca Mg, Ca Mn, Ca Zn; Mg Mn, Cu Fe, Cu Mn, and Mg Zn. Some nutritional components cause strong positive effects over the early growth of genotypes of 'Coffea arabica' L.; highlighting the content of K for accumulation of biomass and development of leaf area, and Fe for chlorophyll synthesis; being possible to be explored in the indirect selection aiming to improve the early growth simultaneously to improvement of nutritional parameters.

    Abstract Phosphorus (P) is considered one of the nutrients that most limits crop yields, especially in soils with an advanced degree of weathering. To evaluate P dynamics and availability in soil resulting from various P doses and sources and to assess the resulting P content of coffee leaves and the final coffee yield, an experiment was conducted in the municipality of Três Pontas, MG, Brazil, in a Red Argisol (Ultisol) area. Fertilization, except for P fertilization, was performed based on the soil analysis results. The annual P doses tested were 0, 75, 150, 300, 450 and 600 kg ha-1 P2O5. Two P sources, simple superphosphate and magnesium thermal phosphate, were evaluated and compared in the study. A physicochemical analysis of the soil and an analysis of leaf dry matter were performed. The available P content in the soil increased as a result of the applications of the two sources. The leaf P levels stabilized at approximately 1.8 and 1.9 g kg-1 for simple superphosphate and magnesium thermal phosphate, respectively, as a result of the application of approximately 300 kg ha-1 P2O5. The coffee responded to P fertilization in the production phase. Averaged over three harvests, the yield per harvest showed gains of 45.3% and 40.3% for simple superphosphate and magnesium thermal phosphate, respectively, with the application of the highest studied dose, 600 kg ha-1 P2O5.

    Abstract Coffee seeds have been considered intermediate storage behavior with varying results. It is highly desirable that seeds are stored safely to optimize coffee seedling production at the appropriate time and season with ideal climatic conditions for planting in the field. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of time of storage and initial seed moisture content on germination and seedling emergence rate of coffee seeds. In this experiment, the effects of time of storage with six levels and initial seed moisture content with four levels on coffee seed germination and early seedling growth were studied in a split-plot factorial design. The data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using statistical analysis system version 9.2 software (SAS, 2009). Treatment means were separated using LSD at 0.05 probability level. The present findings revealed that seed germination and seedling emergence rate were highest at initial time of storage. Seeds dried to 12% moisture content showed inferior performance throughout the trial period. Storage temperature, time of storage and initial seed moisture contents showed highly significant main and interaction effects and seeds dried to intermediate moisture level (17 & 22%), stored under cold temperature and sown at early times resulted in enhanced germination percentage and field emergence rate. Hence, it is advisable drying coffee seeds to about 17% to 22% moisture contents and keep under storage with relatively lower temperatures at about 15oC for not more than six months of storage. As the present finding was limited to single cultivar and done under specific environmental condition further investigation is significant.

    • Extracted Annotations (10/17/2021, 10:27:38 PM)

      "Storage potential of seed is mainly a genetical factor but is influenced by several factors like environment (Roberts, 1972; Wittington, 1978), period of storage (Reddy, 1987), seed moisture level (Roberts, 1972; Write, 1992)." (p. 17)

      "fully ripe red cherries were harvested from selected mother trees in the seed orchard of cultivar 74110 (which was selected as it is widely adapted, highly demanded and much produced) at, JARC, on 21st November 2011 growing season." (p. 18)

      "The cherries were sorted out and pulped in a hand pulp separator. After pulping the selected cherries, the wet parchment beans were again sorted out, thoroughly washed, and taken to drying room, hut made of grass roof." (p. 18)

      "Then the wet parchment coffee was laid on wire mesh for drying under shade and when its skin dried dressed with fine wood ash following the JARC conventional practice and kept till it attained the desired four levels of moisture contents (27, 22, 17 and 12% [fresh weight base])." (p. 18)

      "The storage conditions used in this study were cold store with 150C (SC1) and a room at ambient temperature (SC2)." (p. 18)

      "The seeds were placed with their flat side down at a spacing of one by one cm in a four by five arrangement on soft paper in the petridish, which were kept moist throughout by frequent watering." (p. 19)

      "To evaluate the field emergence and subsequent growth potentials of the seed lots, random samples of 60 seeds were taken from each treatment combination in three replications and sown parchment intact on prepared 10 × 22 cm polyethylene tubes filled with standard nursery media consisting of soil, manure and sand in 4:2:1 ratio." (p. 19)

      "Two seeds per bag were sown in a ten polythene tube per replication with their flat side facing downward at a depth of about one cm and were thinly covered with fine soil. The beds were covered with about five cm thick grass mulch and watered daily." (p. 19)

      "The analysis of variance of the data from germination and early seedling growth tests of C. arabica seeds carried out showed that the main and interactions effects among storage temperature, time of storage and initial seed moisture content significantly (P<0.01) affected percentage of seed germination (Table1)." (p. 19)

      "The combinations of seeds dried to 27% moisture content, stored under cold condition (15OC) and sown at first month resulted in significantly higher germination (99.00%)." (p. 19)

      "However, seeds stored under cold condition (15OC) that dried to 22% and sown at first and second month and that dried to 17% and sown at first month and stored under ambient condition that dried to 27 and 22% sown at first month did not show significant difference (Table2)." (p. 19)

      "While significantly lower germination was recorded for seed dried to 12% moisture that stored under ambient condition and sown after six months of storage (43.67%) but statistically non significant from seeds dried to 27% moisture content that stored under ambient condition and sown after six months of storage." (p. 19)

      "Percent seed germination progressively decreased with prolonged time of storage and it showed drastic change after the third month especially for seeds with lower (12%) and higher (27%) moisture levels that stored under ambient condition. The later (reduced germination in 27% after six months of storage) may be due to promotion of hydrolysis of seed substances increased in seed metabolic processes that lead to seed deterioration (Negussu, 1986)." (p. 19)

      "The combinations of seeds dried to 27% initial moisture content that stored under cold condition and sown at first month also resulted in significantly higher seedling emergence (95.00%) and followed by 27% seed moisture that sown at the second month, seeds dried to 22 & 17% moisture and sown at first month and seeds dried to 27% moisture that stored under ambient condition and sown at first month." (p. 20)

      "The result of present study showed that regardless of the variability in the prevailing climatic conditions, a high consistency was observed between laboratory germination and field emergence, which agrees with findings of (Perry, 1978; Hall and Wiesner, 1990)." (p. 21)

      "The result of this experiment revealed that for prolonged coffee seed storage both higher and lower moisture levels are not suitable and seeds dried to 22% moisture best maintained higher field emergence longer than did the other treatment combinations followed by seeds dried to 17% moisture." (p. 21)

      "The rate of seedling emergence was also synchronized with the emergence performance of seedlings." (p. 21)

      "With the advancement of storage period, mean days to emergence prolonged irrespective of moisture content, storage environment and their interactions (Table5)." (p. 22)

      "The treatment combination of seeds stored in cold condition that dried to 27% initial moisture content and sown at first month still resulted in significantly faster mean days to emergence of (45.67 days)." (p. 22)

      "seeds stored under ambient condition dried to 12% initial moisture contents and sown at sixth month of storage (71 days)" (p. 22)

      "The study also revealed that, even though, seeds with 27% gave higher performance at initial time it drastically declined beyond two months same as for germination and seeds dried to 17% moisture content and stored in cold condition best maintained higher rate of emergence for prolonged seed storage followed by seeds dried to 22% moisture content than both the higher and lower moisture levels." (p. 22)

      "Despite considerable effort at vegetative propagation of coffee plants, they still are propagated by seedlings produced from seeds." (p. 22)

      "Hence, for storing coffee seeds, it is advisable drying the seeds to about 17% to 22% moisture contents and keep under storage with relatively lower temperatures (at about 15oC) for not more than five or six months of storage is advisable." (p. 23)

    Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional efficiency of phosphorus in clones of conilon coffee, in greenhouse condition. A factorial design 13 x 4 was used, with three replications, and the factors being: 13 clones that compose the clonal cultivar "Vitória Incaper 8142" and four levels of phosphorus fertilization (0%, 50%, 100% and 150% of the recommended P2O5 for the culture) in a completely randomized design (CRD). The cultivation consisted of a period of 150 days, then in each experimental unit, the values of dry matter and phosphorus content of the vegetative parts were obtained. The indices of nutritional efficiency (absorption, translocation and utilization) were calculated. The clones of conilon coffee showed different behavior for all variables at each level of fertilization with P2O5. The mass of dry weight, phosphorus content, and efficiency of phosphorus utilization of the clones increase linearly with the increase of P2O5. The efficiency of phosphorus absorption, depending on the levels of P2O5 applied to the clones of conilon coffee, has set to a quadratic model. The translocation efficiency of phosphorus, depending on the levels of P2O5 applied, is different for clones of conilon coffee, with a linear characteristic and also quadratic.

    Abstract This study analyzed the genetic diversity in Coffea canephora genotypes by univariate and multivariate statistical analysis, based on concentrations of macro- and micronutrients in coffee leaves in the stages of pre-flowering and grain filling. The experiment was arranged in randomized blocks with three replications, in a 42x2 factorial design, in which factor one represented the evaluated genotypes and factor two the periods of leaf sampling, i.e., pre-flowering and grain filling. The data of leaf nutrient concentrations were subjected to analysis of variance by the F test (p &lt;0.01), and genetic parameters were estimated. For the study of genetic diversity, the genotypes were grouped by the hierarchical unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages (UPGMA). The relative importance of a trait to predict genetic diversity was also studied. There is genetic divergence for leaf nutrient concentration in C. canephora genotypes. With a maximum limit of 60% of dissimilarity between genotypes, four groups were also formed by UPGMA. For the 42 evaluated genotypes, leaf S concentration was the most important trait for genetic diversity; this genotypic variability should be investigated to enhance the efficiency of nutritional diagnosis. Highlights There is genetic variability for leaf nutrient concentration in Coffea canephora The leaf concentration of nutrients in the phenological stage of pre-anthesis is different from the leaf concentration of nutrients in the coffee bean filling period. Leaf concentration of sulfur was the characteristic that contributed most to the genetic diversity among the 42 genotypes, followed by the concentration of copper, boron and magnesium. Genotypic variability for leaf nutrient concentration should be considered for better nutritional management.

    Abstract Phosphate (P) bioavailability is severely constrained in volcanic ash soils due to its high fixation rate. To overcome this problem the use of P-solubilizing fungi (PSF) has been proposed gaining recently great attention. To provide a better understanding of the dynamics of PSF in soils and to establish criteria for screening effective PSF a series of studies were conducted. PSF were isolated from coffee plantations grown in a Typic Udivitrand (QU), a Pachic Fulvundand (CH), and a Typic Melanudand (Ti). Fifty-five isolates (28 from CH, 19 from Ti, and 8 from QU) produced index of P solubilization among 16 and 106 10-6 kg dm-3 using as P source phosphate rock. The results suggest that the microbial P solubilization was not only associated to the decrease in the culture medium pH, but also the production of organic acids is associated with the most effective PSF. The higher production of organic acids seems to be associated with a lower fungal colony growth rate likely due to a carbon/energy drainage. The soil P-fixation capacity, soil organic content and degree of humification seems to control the relative abundance of PSF in the soils tested. In soils cultivated with coffee Phlebia gender is reported, for the first time, as a PSF.

This work aims at evaluating the physiological responses of Coffea spp. genotypes grown in high-altitude (734 m) areas under field conditions, using 3-to-4-year-old plants of 'C. arabica' cv. Catuca Vermelho (785/15) and 'C. canephora' cv. Encapa 8111 Clone 02 (02V). Predawn leaf potential water, net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, internal-to-external CO2 concentration ratio, and chlorophyll a fluorescence (JIPTest) values were assessed in March (adequate temperature and water availability conditions), July (suboptimal temperature) and October (low water availability). The growth of orthotropic and plagiotropic branches and the number of nodes were monitored monthly for 13 months, whereas two years yield was evaluated. Low temperatures (July) affected photosynthesis of both genotypes, although 785/15 showed smaller after-effects by October and unaltered values of almost all fluorescence parameters throughout the year (reflecting a high functional stability), and a higher number of nodes with a potential positive impact on yield. The 02V plants also kept relevant photochemical functioning, maintaining the values of several JIPTest parameters, a branch growth higher than 785/15, and a similar yield to that found for 02V in some low-altitude areas. Therefore, 'C. canephora' was able to cope with moderate low temperature and water deficit constraints that prevail in areas of higher altitudes for part of the year, while maintaining yield performance. Therefore, this genotype shows considerable potential to be cultivated at higher altitudes than what is traditionally considered adequate for 'C. canephora'.

    Abstract The overall coordination between gas exchanges and plant hydraulics may be affected by the soil availability of water and source-to-sink relationships. Here we evaluated how coffee (Coffea arabica L. cv. Catimor) trees are able to acclimate their photosynthesis in response drought and fruiting. The plants, which were 6-yr- old at the beginning of trials, were grown in the field at full sunlight, and subjected to four treatment combinations: irrigated plants with fruits (I*F); irrigated plants with no fruits (I*NF); non-irrigated plants with fruits (NI*F) and non-irrigated plants with no fruits (NI*NF). A range of traits, encompassing from photosynthesis traits, water relations, growth and hormonal profile, were assessed. Over the course of the experiment, the non-irrigated plants displayed lower averaged values of predawn water potentials (-0.5 MPa) than their irrigated counterparts (-0.2 MPa). We showed that under mild water deficit conditions, irrigation per se did not impact growth rates but could reduce branch death significantly. These findings were unrelated to changes in leaf assimilate pools. We also demonstrated that fruiting provoked a feedforward effect on net photosynthesis rate that was fundamentally coupled to an enhanced stomatal conductance. Indeed both the mesophyll conductance and maximum rate of carboxylation by RuBisCO remained unchanged in response to the applied treatments. The increase in stomatal conductance was unrelated to varying abscisic acid levels or differential sensitivity to abscisic acid, although it was likely associated with a lower stomatal sensitivity to leaf-to-air vapor pressure difference. In parallel, the increases in transpiration rate were supported by coordinated alterations in plant hydraulics which should to a large extent explain the maintenance of plant water status regardless of fruiting-related variations in stomatal conductance and transpiration rate. In summary, we showed that stomatal conductance played a major role in the coordination between source capacity and sink demand regardless of irrigation, with concomitant changes in plant hydraulics. Therefore, these aspects should be considered in breeding programs to improve drought tolerance in coffee in face of the present and ongoing climate changes.

    Abstract Nine years of historical yield, meteorological, and soil data were input into a soil water balance simulation model to generate a daily soil water status value. The values for the number of days and millimeters of deficit (duration and magnitude) were grouped into trimesters and used to estimate yield. The greatest frequency of days with plant moisture stress occurred during the January–March and the October–December periods. The greatest magnitude of stress occurred during the January–March period. Annual coffee yields were best estimated by the model that incorporated variables for the previous year including, April–June deficit magnitude duration, July–September deficit magnitude duration, and the previous year's yield. Model testing with data from nine cultivars over an 8-year period showed that the model estimated yields with a mean error of 17%. The use of this model permitted yield estimation 2 months before anthesis and 8 months before the start of harvest.

    Abstract Somatic embryogenesis offers the promise of a cost-effective, large-scale propagation method and is considered as a unique alternative technique to overcome some of the limitations of conventional clonal propagation methods. Production of somatic embryos from cell, tissue and organ cultures may occur directly which involves the formation of an asexual embryo from a single cell or a group of cells on a part of the explant tissue without an intervening callus phase. In this study, the photosynthetic ability of different stage coffee (Coffea arabusta) somatic embryos and the development of photoautotrophy are reported. Results revealed that cotyledonary and converted somatic embryos have the ability to photosynthesise and can be grown under photoautotrophic conditions (with no supply of sugar from the culture medium). The development of photosynthetic ability can be accelerated by placing the somatic embryos in a photosynthetic photon flux of 100 µmol m−2s−1 for at least 14 days. Cotyledonary stage somatic embryos were cultured under photoautotrophic conditions in three different growing systems to develop an optimized protocol for a large-scale embryo-to-plantlet conversion and propagation system. Our results demonstrated that the use of a newly developed temporary root zone immersion bioreactor is effective for the embryo-to-plantlet conversion and enhanced growth under photoautotrophic conditions.

    Abstract ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the use of hydro polymer retainer in the quantitative growth of coffee plants at different levels of irrigation and soil types. The experiment was conducted in pots with seedlings bag in the greenhouse of the Setor de Cafeicultura, Universidade Federal de Lavras. The experimental design was in randomized blocks in factorial (2x4x2): absence or presence of hydro polymer retainer, four levels of irrigation (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%), two soil types (sandy soil and medium texture). At 150 days evaluated the stem diameter, plant height, leaf area, number of leaves, dry weight of shoots, plant dry mass, root dry weight, root dry weight ratio of shoot, leaf area ratio, absolute growth rate, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate and leaf area index. It was concluded that the polymer hydro retainer hydrated favored the growth of coffee plants and irrigation promoted greater growth of coffee in medium textured soil compared to soils with sandy texture.

    Abstract The postharvest treatment and processing of frsh coffee cherries can impact the quality of the unroasted green coffee beans. In the present case study, freshly harvested Arabica coffee cherries were processed through two different wet and dry methods to monitor differences in the microbial community structure and in substrate and metabolite profiles. The changes were followed throughout the postharvest processing chain, from harvest to drying, by implementing up-to-date techniques, encompassing multiple-step metagenomic DNA extraction, high- throughput sequencing, and multiphasic metabolite target analysis. During wet pro- cessing, a cohort of lactic acid bacteria (i.e., Leuconostoc, Lactococcus, and Lactobacil- lus) was the most commonly identified microbial group, along with enterobacteria and yeasts (Pichia and Starmerella). Several of the metabolites associated with lactic acid bacterial metabolism (e.g., lactic acid, acetic acid, and mannitol) produced in the mucilage were also found in the endosperm. During dry processing, acetic acid bacteria (i.e., Acetobacter and Gluconobacter) were most abundant, along with Pichia and non-Pichia (Candida, Starmerella, and Saccharomycopsis) yeasts. Accumulation of associated metabolites (e.g., gluconic acid and sugar alcohols) took place in the dry- ing outer layers of the coffee cherries. Consequently, both wet and dry processing methods significantly influenced the microbial community structures and hence the composition of the final green coffee beans. This systematic approach to dissecting the coffee ecosystem contributes to a deeper understanding of coffee processing and might constitute a state-of-the-art framework for the further analysis and subse- quent control of this complex biotechnological process.

    Abstract Research on coffee agroforestry systems in Central America has identified various environmental factors, management strategies and plant characteristics that affect growth, yield and the impact of the systems on the environment. Much of this literature is not quantitative, and it remains difficult to optimise growing area selection, shade tree use and management. To assist in this optimisation we developed a simple dynamic model of coffee agroforestry systems. The model includes the physiology of vegetative and reproductive growth of coffee plants, and its response to different growing conditions. This is integrated into a plot-scale model of coffee and shade tree growth which includes competition for light, water and nutrients and allows for management treatments such as spacing, thinning, pruning and fertilising. Because of the limited availability of quantitative information, model parameterisation remains fraught with uncertainty, but model behaviour seems consistent with observations. We show examples of how the model can be used to examine trade-offs between increasing coffee and tree productivity, and between maximising productivity and limiting the impact of the system on the environment.

    Abstract The species Coffea arabica L. is one of the most important agricultural commodities in Brazil. Despite considerable effort at vegetative propagation of coffee plants, they still are propagated by seedlings produced directly from seeds. An undesired trait of coffee seeds is that they have slow and asynchronous germination, which makes it difficult to obtain seedlings of desirable quality. In addition, this slow and asynchronous germination makes rapid viability and/or vigor evaluations difficult because of the excessive time required to obtain results. The objective of this study was to describe coffee seedling growth developmental stages by documenting morphological changes during germination and post-germination growth. Eight seedling growth stages were described. Description of stages permits a more accurate characterization of coffee seedling development than days after imbibition since environmental factors have a major bearing on the speed and uniformity of seedling growth. In addition, current Rules for Seed Testing in Brazil require 30 days before germination can be assessed. These data demonstrate all essential seedling parts are present on coffee seedlings at stage 6, which occurs at 15 days. Such data suggest that the standard germination test for coffee seeds can be substantially shortened to provide more rapid seed quality assessment.

      "Coffea arabica L., cv. 'Rubi' seeds were collected at the cherry fruit stage from the middle portion of the middle branches of young, healthy coffee trees. The fruits had their exocarps removed, and the seeds with remaining fruit parts, mesocarp (mucilagenous tissue) and endocarp (parchment) were kept in water at 30°C for 24 h. After this period, the mucilaginous mesocarp was easily removed by washing in flowing water. The seeds were left on paper to dry before initiating the germination test." (p. 422)

      "Seeds were distributed between paper towels, moistened with water equivalent to 2½ times the dry paper substrate weight and placed in a germination chamber at 30°C ± 1°C for up to 45 days." (p. 422)

      "This small size reduces embryo storage reserves making the embryo dependent on the endosperm reserves for successful seedling development (Dentan, 1985; Silva, 2002)." (p. 424)

      "In living seeds without an endocarp, phase I is typically completed after 6 days and phase III begins after approximately 9 days following the onset of imbibition." (p. 425)

      "In this study, coffee seeds were completely hydrated by the third day. These values are different from the 6 days required for complete coffee seed hydration reported by Camargo (1998). However, our results are consistent with those reported by Eira et al. (2006)." (p. 426)

      "In addition, the precise timing of each morphological event during imbibition, germination and seedling growth stages can be greatly influenced by genotype, cultivar and seed quality as well as experimental methodology." (p. 426)

      "A visible protuberance can be noticed on the endosperm cap at five days which is a result of the embryo growing inside the endosperm (figure 3)." (p. 426)

      "The radicle penetrates through the outer endosperm layer completing sensu stricto germination at approximately 7 days (figure 3)." (p. 426)

      "After germination, and at approximately 9 days of imbibition, the hypocotyl grows and possesses a distinct pink color from the white radicle." (p. 427)

      "This stage is characterized by the appearance of root primordia at the junction between the hypocotyl and primary root that increase in size at approximately day 12 (figure 3)." (p. 427)

      "The first two or three lateral roots arise at the junction between the hypocotyl and primary root and more root primordia and root hairs form around the surface of primary root at about 15 days (figure 3)." (p. 427)

      "Starting at approximately day 20 until day 30, lateral roots are initiated from the primary root, increase in size and number and root hairs are detected in every root in the zone of maturation, but they are not present on the root apices (figure 3)." (p. 427)

      "Beginning at approximately 30 days, the seedling continues growth and forms a more substantial root system with a hypocotyl increasing in height, but the only significant morphological change occurring during this period is the consumption of the endosperm by the cotyledonary leaves. At approximately 45 days, the seedlings have their cotyledons open and the remaining endosperm tissue is a thin layer covering the cotyledonary leaves, indicating that the endosperm has been substantially consumed (figure 3)." (p. 428)

      "These results demonstrate that all essential seedling parts are present in coffee seedlings at stage Seedling 3 - junction-lateral roots, which occurs at day 15. Such data suggest that the standard germination test for coffee seeds can be substantially shortened to provide more rapid seed quality assessment." (p. 429)

      "This study has emphasized that development of growth stages permits a more accurate characterization of coffee seedling development than days after planting since environmental factors have a major bearing on the speed and uniformity of seedling growth over this 45 day period." (p. 429)

    Abstract Nutrient supplies to plants from ants are well known from specialised myrmecophytic symbioses and from plants growing in soil close to ant nests. However, above-ground nutrient pathways may play a largely unrecognised role also in less specialised ant–plant interactions—the numerous facultative relationships, where ants forage on plants. In a laboratory experiment, weaver ants (Oecophylla smaragdina) were confined to the canopies of coffee (Coffea arabica) seedlings, excluding any ant-to-plant transfer of nutrients via the soil strata. When ants were fed 15N-labelled glycine and subsequently deposited faecal droplets on the seedlings, coffee leaves showed increased levels of 15N and total nitrogen compared to control plants without ants. This was evident for both exposed leaves and leaves covered in plastic bags (i.e. not directly exposed to ants). Thus, nitrogen from ant excretions was absorbed through the coffee leaves, and subsequently, translocated within the plants and possibly leading to the observed higher shoot/root (wet weight) ratios observed on ant-plants compared to controls. Synthesis. These results reveal an undescribed foliar uptake of ant-provided nutrients. If this is a general mechanism, a vast amount of ant–plant interactions involves fertilisation. Foliar fertilisation by ants may be an important steady benefit to plants, which has driven the evolution of ant–plant mutualisms in parallel with the well-recognised but probably more fluctuating benefit from herbivore protection. Given the world-wide abundance of plant canopies foraged by ants, this nutrient pathway may be of high ecological significance.

    Abstract In commercial coffee species (Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora), fruit development is a lengthy process, characterized by tissue changes and evolutions. For example, soon after fecundation and up to mid development, the fruit is mainly constituted of the pericarp and perisperm tissue. Thereafter, the perisperm gradually disappears and is progressively replaced by the endosperm (true seed). Initially present in a "liquid" state, the endosperm hardens as it ripens during the maturation phase, as a result of accumulation of storage proteins, sucrose and complex polysaccharides representing the main reserves of the seed. The last step of maturation is characterized by the dehydration of the endosperm and the color change of the pericarp. Important quantitative and qualitative changes accompany fruit growth, highlighting the importance of its study to better understand the final characteristics of coffee beans. Following a description of the coffee fruit tissues, this review presents some data concerning biochemical, enzymatic and gene expression variations observed during the coffee fruit development. The latter will also be analyzed in the light of recent data (electronic expression profiles) arising from the Brazilian Coffee Genome Project.

    Abstract Coffee (Coffeaarabica L.)bean production and quality are determined by a diversity of interacting factors (e.g. shade, nitrogen, crop traits). Bean yield increases with increase in radiation, but adequate fertilizer suppliesare needed to sustain the productivity. This thesis analysed coffee tree growth, bean production and bean quality in relation to different degrees of exposure to radiation and nitrogen supply. Growth of leaves and branches and properties of leaves such as specific leaf area, nitrogen content per unit leaf area and light-saturated rate of photosynthesis were determined. Radiation interception and nitrogen uptake were also determined as were radiation use efficiency and apparent nitrogen recovery. Tree biomass and coffee bean yield responded positively to both radiation and nitrogen supply. Abundant bean yield to the detriment of vegetative growth, however, resultedin biennial bearing in coffee trees. Effects of fruit load on coffee treegrowth and productivity were studied for two consecutive years and the resultshowed that competition between fruit growth and vegetative growth predisposed the trees for biennial bearing. Reduced vegetative growth when fruit load is high reduces the number of flower bearing nodes and hence yields in the next season. Coffee quality is a sum of favourable characteristics that satisfies requirements of different actors in the coffee chain and is the factor determining the price on the coffee market. This study has also examined coffee quality attributes in relation to radiation and nitrogen, fruit load manipulation, and genotype by environment (different altitudes) interactions. The result indicated that factors and conditions that support non-limiting supply of resources for bean to grow and a sufficient long period of maturation promote coffee bean quality. Overall, the study gained further understanding of coffee tree growth, yield and bean quality responses to aforementioned factors and explored traits that underlie the patterns. Further works are required to use the traits and describe the behaviour of coffee trees in different agro-ecosystems.

    Abstract Effects of two ventilation methods (forced and natural) and two photosynthetic photon fluxes (PPF, 150 and 250 µmol m−2 s−1) on the photoautotrophic growth of in vitro cultured coffee (Coffea arabusta) plantlets were investigated. Number of air exchanges was 2.7, 5.9 and 3.9 h−1 for forced low rate, forced high rate and natural ventilation, respectively. Single node cuttings of in vitro cultured coffee plantlets were cultured on Florialite, a mixture of vermiculite and cellulose fibers with high air porosity, emerged in liquid half strength basal MS medium, without sucrose, vitamins and plant growth regulators. The study included 40 days in the in vitro stage and 10 days in the ex vitro stage. Mean fresh and dry weights, leaf area, shoot and root lengths and net photosynthetic rate per plantlet were significantly greater in forced high rate treatments compared with those in natural and forced low rate treatments. PPF had a distinct effect on shoot length suppression and root elongation of coffee plantlets in forced high rate treatments. The control of carbon dioxide concentration inside the culture box according to the plant demand when growing was easy with the forced ventilation method in photoautotrophic micropropagation.

    Abstract Cold-stressed leaves possess an elevated risk of photodamage due to an inefficient photosynthetic apparatus during winter conditions. Recovery of cold-stressed coffee seedlings treated with different concentrations of nitrogen applied as foliar urea sprays [control (0), 5, 10, 20, and 40 mM], was investigated under optimum growth chamber conditions (25/20°C) for three months. Concentrations of nitrogen and photosynthetic pigments in the leaves increased with increasing concentration of the foliar sprays up to 20 mM. This was accompanied with a recovery of the photosynthetic apparatus and increased net carbon assimilation rate. In addition, 10 and 20 mM-treated plants also had the highest maximal efficiency of PSII compared to their lower or higher nitrogen concentration treated counterparts. Conversely, these plants contained lower concentrations of 5-caffeoylquinic acid, mangiferin, trigonelline, and caffeine than control plants. We concluded therefore that foliar sprays of the appropriate nitrogen concentration were adequate for recuperating the photosynthetic apparatus and improved the photosynthetic performance of the cold-stressed coffee seedlings.

    Abstract This study unveils the single and combined drought and heat impacts on the photosynthetic performance of Coffea arabica cv. Icatu and C. canephora cv. Conilon Clone 153 (CL153). Well-watered (WW) potted plants were gradually submitted to severe water deficit (SWD) along 20 days under adequate temperature (25/20°C, day/night), and thereafter exposed to a gradual temperature rise up to 42/30°C, followed by a 14-day water and temperature recovery. Single drought affected all gas exchanges (including Amax) and most fluorescence parameters in both genotypes. However, Icatu maintained Fv/Fm and RuBisCO activity, and reinforced electron transport rates, carrier contents, and proton gradient regulation (PGR5) and chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex proteins abundance. This suggested negligible non-stomatal limitations of photosynthesis that were accompanied by a triggering of protective cyclic electron transport (CEF) involving both photosystems (PSs). These findings contrasted with declines in RuBisCO and PSs activities, and cytochromes (b559, f, b563) contents in CL153. Remarkable heat tolerance in potential photosynthetic functioning was detected in WW plants of both genotypes (up to 37/28°C or 39/30°C), likely associated with CEF in Icatu. Yet, at 42/30°C the tolerance limit was exceeded. Reduced Amax and increased Ci values reflected non-stomatal limitations of photosynthesis, agreeing with impairments in energy capture (F0 rise), PSII photochemical efficiency, and RuBisCO and Ru5PK activities. In contrast to PSs activities and electron carrier contents, enzyme activities were highly heat sensitive. Until 37/28°C, stresses interaction was largely absent, and drought played the major role in constraining photosynthesis functioning. Harsher conditions (SWD, 42/30°C) exacerbated impairments to PSs, enzymes, and electron carriers, but uncontrolled energy dissipation was mitigated by photoprotective mechanisms. Most parameters recovered fully between 4 and 14 days after stress relief in both genotypes, although some aftereffects persisted in SWD plants. Icatu was more drought tolerant, with WW and SWD plants usually showing a faster and/or greater recovery than CL153. Heat affected both genotypes mostly at 42/30°C, especially in SWD and Icatu plants. Overall, photochemical components were highly tolerant to heat and to stress interaction in contrast to enzymes that deserve special attention by breeding programs to increase coffee sustainability in climate change scenarios.

    Abstract Of the approximately 100 species of the genus Coffea, only Coffea arabica L. (Arabica coffee) and C. canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner (Robusta coffee)1 are economically important worldwide, accounting for approximately 99% of the global bean production. Brazil is the world’s largest coffee producer, followed by Vietnam and Colombia. Coffee is the major export product of countries such as Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and Ethiopia. About 70% of the world crop is grown on holdings smaller than 10 ha, and hence coffee farming is often a family business that provides sustenance for over 25 million people worldwide. On a broader scale, the international coffee trade involves about 500 million people in its management, from cultivation to the final product for consumption.

    Abstract Robusta coffee is a coffee type found in South OKU Regency in Indonesia, and its storage process is highly susceptible to the growth of various fungal species, including fungi that produce Ochratoxin A (OTA). Therefore, this study aims to examine the fungal contamination contained in storage using polystyrene and gunny sacks for 20 and 30 days. Data were obtained from surveys, interviews, and samples from 30 farmers which stored coffee beans using polystyrene and gunny sacks in May-July 2020. The results showed that the moisture content was higher in storage using gunny sacks than in polystyrene sacks, at 16.94 ± 0.878 % and 15.99 ± 1.33%, respectively. Furthermore, 16 fungal species were present in gunny sack storage, while 14 fungal species were observed in polystyrene sacks. The percentage of OTA-producing fungi A.niger and A.ochraceus in the two stores yielded 100% and 63.3%, respectively

      "Coffee beans from each sample were disinfected with 1% sodium hypochlorite for one minute and rinsed with sterile distilled water for 1 minute, with 2 replications. They were then dried in a Petri dish covered with 2 sheets of sterile filter paper. Then, a total of 10 beans were placed in a Petri dish (9 cm in diameter) containing a PDA medium with 0.01% chloramphenicol." (p. 14)

      "The measurement after 20 days showed an increase after being stored in the gunny sack which was higher, namely 17.50 ± 0.82%, higher than the water content in the PS sack 16.63 ± 1.172% (Table 1)." (p. 14)

      "Table 1 above shows that there was a difference in mean water content between the use of gunny and PS sacks (p-value 0.000) for 20 days of storage." (p. 15)

      "[14] and [15] stated that the increase in water content with storage using gunny sack was due to its permeability to water, steam, and surrounding gases. This permeability causes respiration in coffee beans thereby releasing heat, water, and CO2 gas. Furthermore, there was a condensation process on the surface of the coffee beans because it was cooler than the surrounding environment and caused the water vapor to stick to the surface." (p. 15)

      "The percentage results of the fungal infestation (Table 2) showed that all coffee beans stored with both gunny and PS sacks were attacked by Aspergillus niger after 20 days." (p. 15)

      "A. ochraceus (60% vs 63.3%), Aspergillus wentii (23.3% vs 36.7%), Aspergillus fumigatus (83.3% vs 93.3%), Fusarium semitectum (16.7% vs. 23.3%), Rhizopus oryzae (6.7% vs 13.3%), Mucor javanicus (26.7% vs 50.0%), Lasiodiplodia theobromae (73.3 vs 76.7), and Penicillium notatum (36, 7% vs 53.3%) were more common in gunny sack storage than PS sack storage." (p. 15)

      "The contamination percentage of OTA-producing fungi A. niger and A. ochraceus in the storage of gunny and PS sacks for 30 days were 100% and 63.3%, respectively." (p. 17)

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea spp.) is an important tropical agricultural crop that has significant economic and social importance in the world. The ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources through seeds is not feasible due to the sensitivity of coffee seed to desiccation and low temperatures. The cryopreservation of zygotic embryos may allow for an efficient and long-term storage of coffee germplasm. This study describes the cryopreservation methods for conserving zygotic embryos of Coffea arabica L. for the long-term conservation of currently available germplasm. Zygotic embryos were successfully cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen at −196 °C under controlled environmental conditions with either droplet-vitrification or encapsulation–vitrification protocols without dehydration. Zygotic embryos had the highest regrowth (100%) following droplet-vitrification cryopreservation using the Plant Vitrification Solution 3 (PVS3) for 40 min at 23 °C. In the case of encapsulation–vitrification using PVS3 for 40 min at 23 °C, the embryo regeneration response was 78%. Plantlets were recovered following shoot multiplication using a temporary immersion system (TIS) and in vitro rooting. The prolific rooting of shoots was observed after 4 weeks of culture in the liquid medium with plugs made of the inert substrate Oasis® In vitro Express (IVE) compared to the semi-solid medium. The successful cryopreservation of coffee zygotic embryos using droplet vitrification and encapsulation–vitrification followed by micropropagation in temporary immersion culture system has not been reported earlier and together these technologies are anticipated to further facilitate the initiatives for the conservation and distribution of coffee germplasm.

    Abstract The effects of varying intensities of light on plants depend on when they occur, even if the total amount of light received is kept constant. We designed an experiment using two clones of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) intercropped with shelter trees in such a way that allowed us to compare coffee bushes shaded in the morning (SM) with those shaded in the afternoon (SA), and then confronting both with bushes receiving full sunlight over the course of the day (FS). The SM bushes displayed better gas-exchange performance than their SA and FS counterparts, in which the capacity for CO2 fixation was mainly constrained by stomatal (SA bushes) and biochemical (FS bushes) factors. Physiological traits associated with light capture were more responsive to temporal fluctuations of light rather than to the amount of light received, although this behavior could be a clone-specific response. The activity of key antioxidant enzymes differed minimally when comparing the SM and SA clones, but was much larger in FS clones. No signs of photoinhibition or cell damage were found regardless of the light treatments. Acclimations to varying light supplies had no apparent additional cost for constructing and maintaining the leaves regardless of the light supply. Both the SM and SA individuals displayed higher return in terms of revenue streams (e.g. higher mass-based light-saturated photosynthetic rates, photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiencies and long-term water use efficiencies) than their FS counterparts. In conclusion, shading may improve the physiological performance of coffee bushes growing in harsh, tropical environments.

    Abstract Growth of coffee (Coffea arabusta) plantlets cultured in vitroas affected by sugar, types of supporting material and number of air exchanges of the vessel was investigated. Single node cuttings of in vitro coffee plantlets were cultured on half strength MS medium with or without 20 g l−1 sucrose. Two types of supporting material, agar and Florialite, and two levels of air exchange expressed by number of air exchanges per vessel, 0.2 and 2.3 h−1, were studied. At the end of a 40-day culture period, fresh weight, shoot length, root length and leaf area of plantlets when cultured on Florialite soaked in sugar-free medium and under the higher number of air exchanges were greater than those in sugar containing medium. Callus was observed at the shoot base of plantlets grown on agar medium containing sucrose. Photosynthetic ability of coffee plantlets in vitro was also significantly increased when grown on sugar-free medium with the high number of air exchanges and Florialite as a supporting material.

    Abstract Trends in climate changes indicate that the air [CO2] will continue to increase. The first plant response to elevated [CO2] (e[CO2]) is the increased photosynthetic rate. Photosynthetic rate dependence on light (A/PAR curves) is characterized by several parameters, often used to determine plant species responses to environment and phenological plasticity. The effects of water supply and phenological stage were expected, with no acclimation after long-term Coffea arabica L. cultivation under e[CO2]. The aim of the study was to determine variations in parameters of A/PAR curves in coffee leaves over a tree vertical profile after long-term cultivation under free-air-CO2-enrichment (FACE) system. The p arameters of A/PAR curves in C. arabica were estimated after five-years cultivation in FACE under two CO2 conditions, actual (a[CO2], ~390?L CO2 L-1) and e[CO2] (~590?L CO2 L-1), in two water regimes (rainfed and irrigation). The A/PAR curves were estimated in two phenological stages (grain formation - February 2016 and fruit maturation - May 2016). The A/PAR responses were determined by varying photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) from 1117 to 0 ?mol photons m?2 s?1 in four 50 cm-thick layers of vertical plant profile. The maximum photosynthesis (Amax), dark respiration (Rd), apparent quantum efficiency (?), and light compensation point (?) generally increased under e[CO2] compared to a[CO2], showing higher values during grain formation than during fruit maturation (Figure 1). The Rd and ? followed the progressive increase by layers only during the grain formation (Figures 1C and 1E). Continuation in e[CO2] stimulation indicated that leaf photosynthesis acclimation did not occur after five-years coffee cultivation under FACE. The lack of progressive increase in Amax, ? and ? over vertical profile indicates leaf plasticity to light availability, especially considering the high Amax of the two lowest layers. The compensation effects of e[CO2] to low water availability were observed in all A/PAR responses.

    Abstract Weed management systems in almost all Brazilian coffee plantations allow herbicide spray to drift on crop plants. In order to evaluate if there is any effect of the most commonly used herbicide in coffee production, glyphosate, on coffee plants, a range of glyphosate doses were applied directly on coffee plants at two distinct plant growth stages. Although growth of both young and old plants was reduced at higher glyphosate doses, low doses caused no effects on growth characteristics of young plants and stimulated growth of older plants. Therefore, hormesis with glyphosate is dependent on coffee plant growth stage at the time of herbicide application.

    Abstract In agroforestry systems, the effect of shade trees on coffee net photosynthesis (An) has been the object of debates among coffee scientists. In this study, we undertook over 600 coffee An “spot” measurements under four different artificial shade levels (100, 72, 45 and 19% of full solar irradiance) and analyzed limitations to An by low light availability (photon flux density, PFD) and stomatal conductance (gs). These gas exchange measurements were carried out during two consecutive coffee growing seasons in a commercial plantation in the Orosi valley of Costa Rica. Levels of An were related to PFD and gs in order to calculate envelope functions which were used to establish PFD or gs limitations to An. Under the growing conditions of the present trial, mean leaf An remained stable for growth irradiance (GI) as low as 45% of full sun and decreased by ~20% at 19% GI. Limitation to An due to gs was strong in full sun and decreasing with increasing shade levels. On the other hand, limitation due to PFD remained at a similar level for all shade treatments. These different evolutions of limitations of An by PFD and gs in response to shade explain the absence of a decrease in coffee leaf An with a shade level up to 55%. Consequently, these results confirm that Arabica coffee is a shade-adapted plant with leaves that can maintain a high photosynthetic performance under low light availability.

    Abstract This paper investigated changes in growth and carbohydrate content of shoots and root systems in response to source-sink manipulation in field-grown coffee trees. The source-sink manipulations were carried out using manual de-fruiting. Two plots of trees were established: in one group, the fruit was left on the tree, while in the second group all fruits were removed manually. Similar results were obtained for coffee trees with and without fruit in terms of height, stem and skirt diameter and branch lengths. A biochemical evaluation of the roots showed that no differences were found between the levels of carbohydrates. In the leaves, levels of soluble sugars and reducing sugars were higher in plants with fruit. The starch concentration in leaves and roots did not vary between the plots. Root length density did not vary between plants with and without fruit in the 0 - 0.4 m soil layer. However, plants without fruit had a higher root length density than plants with a full fruit load. These results contrast with results published by others on source-sink relationships of coffee plants. The joint data analysis shows that young trees, with a moderate fruit load, and with good nutritional and health status, produce carbohydrates in sufficient quantities to maintain vegetative and reproductive growth, without harming root system growth.

    Abstract Conventional American cultivars of coffee are no longer adapted to global warming. Finding highly productive and stable cultivars in different environments without neglecting quality characteristics has become a priority for breeders. In this study, new Arabica F1 hybrids clones were compared to conventional American varieties in seven contrasting environments, for yield, rust incidence and volume of the canopy. The quality was assessed through size, weight of 100 beans, biochemical analysis (24 aroma precursors and 31 volatiles compounds) and sensory analysis. Conventional varieties were the least productive, producing 50% less than the best hybrid. The AMMI model analysis pointed out five hybrids as the most stable and productive. Two F1 hybrids clones, H1-Centroamericano and H16-Mundo Maya, were superior to the most planted American cultivar in Latin and Central America showing a high yield performance and stability performance. H1-Centroamerica and Starmaya contain more d-limonene than Caturra, while Starmaya contain more 3-methylbutanoic acid than the control. Those two latter volatiles compounds are linked with good cup quality in previous studies. In terms of sensory analysis, Starmaya and H1-Centroamericano scored better than control.

    Abstract Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is one of the most promising processes for large-scale dissemination of elite varieties. However, for many plant species, optimizing SE protocols still relies on a trial-and-error approach. Using coffee as a model plant, we report here the first global analysis of metabolome and hormone dynamics aiming to unravel mechanisms regulating cell fate and totipotency. Sampling from leaf explant dedifferentiation until embryo development covered 15 key stages. An in-depth statistical analysis performed on 104 metabolites revealed that massive re-configuration of metabolic pathways induced SE. During initial dedifferentiation, a sharp decrease in phenolic compounds and caffeine levels was also observed while auxins, cytokinins and ethylene levels were at their highest. Totipotency reached its highest expression during the callus stages when a shut-off in hormonal and metabolic pathways related to sugar and energetic substance hydrolysis was evidenced. Abscisic acid, leucine, maltotriose, myo-inositol, proline, tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites and zeatin appeared as key metabolic markers of the embryogenic capacity. Combining metabolomics with multiphoton microscopy led to the identification of chlorogenic acids as markers of embryo redifferentiation. The present analysis shows that metabolite fingerprints are signatures of cell fate and represent a starting point for optimizing SE protocols in a rational way.

    Abstract The use of coffee leaves as a novel beverage has recently received consumer interest, but there is little known about how processing methods affect the quality of final product. We applied tea (white, green, oolong and black tea) processing methods to process coffee leaves and then investigated their effects on phytochemical composition and related antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Using Japanese-style green tea-processing of young leaves, and black tea-processing of mature (BTP-M) coffee leaves, produced contrasting effects on phenolic content, and associated antioxidant activity and nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity in IFN-γ and LPS induced Raw 264.7 cells. BTP-M coffee leaves also had significantly (P < .05) higher responses in NO, iNOS, COX-2, as well as a number of cytokines, in non-induced Raw 264.7. Our findings show that the age of coffee leaves and the type of processing method affect phytochemical profiles sufficiently to produce characteristic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

    Abstract In a context where climate change is threatening coffee productivity, the management of coffee leaf rust is a challenging issue. Major resistant genes, which have been used for many years, are systematically being overcome by pathogens. Developing healthy plants, able to defend themselves and be productive even when attacked by the pathogen, should be part of a more sustainable alternative approach. We compared one hybrid (GPFA124), selected for its good health in various environments including a reduced rust incidence, and the cv. &lsquo;Caturra&rsquo;, considered as a standard in terms of productivity and quality but highly susceptible to rust, for phenotypic variables and for the expression of genes involved in the circadian clock and in primary photosynthetic metabolism. The GPFA124 hybrid showed increased photosynthetic electron transport efficiency, better carbon partitioning, and higher chlorophyll content. A strong relationship exists between chlorophyll a fluorescence and the expression of genes related to the photosynthetic electron transport chain. We also showed an alteration of the amplitude of circadian clock genes in the clone. Our work also indicated that increased photosynthetic electron transport efficiency is related to the clone&rsquo;s better performance. Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurement is a good indicator of the coffee tree&rsquo;s physiological status for the breeder. We suggest a connection between the circadian clock and carbon metabolism in coffee tree.

    Abstract Our previous study reported that different tea processing methods along with the age of coffee leaves affected antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivities; however, identification of phytochemical components or associated mixtures that contribute to the anti-/pro-inflammatory activities was not determined. Herein, we report results of additional experiments designed to characterize the phytochemical composition of fractionated coffee leaf extract, derived from Japanese-style-green-tea-process-young (JGTP-Y) and black-tea-process-mature (BTP-M) leaves and related these data to anti-/pro-inflammatory activities. The aqueous fraction of BTP-M coffee leaves induced nitric oxide (NO), iNOS, COX-2, IL-6 and IL-10 production in Raw 264.7 cells. A 40% methanol fraction possessed greatest anti-inflammatory activities in IFN-γ and LPS treated Raw 264.7 cells (P < 0.05). The anti-inflammatory activities of coffee leaf fractions could not only be attributed to chlorogenic acids, mangiferin, rutin, and caffeine content, but possibly subtle interactions of mixtures of bioactive molecules.

    Abstract Coffee leaves have a long history for use as ethnomedicine and tea beverage by locals from countries where coffee plants grow. Recently, attentions have been paid to their health benefits to human beings because of abundant bioactive components in coffee leaves. However, the researches related to the bioactivities, applications, and the impacts of processing methods on the phytochemical composition and activities of coffee leaves are scarce. The reviews specific to coffee leaves in these aspects are rare too. Due to the growing interests to coffee leaves, in this review, the chemical compositions in coffee leaves and the influence of environmental conditions and processing methods on them were summarized. Furthermore, various applications of coffee leaves, including ethnomedicine, coffee leaf tea, therapeutic agent, packaging material, tobacco substitute, organic fungicide, personal hygienic products, and animal feed et al. were presented. The future prospects of coffee leaves are also discussed. In conclusion, coffee leaf is a very promising resource in the areas of food and industry, especially, in the beverage industry. The researches in understanding impacts of the processing methods on the phytochemicals, enzymes, bioactivities, and flavor of coffee leaves are highly needed.

    Abstract The narrow genetic base of commercial arabica resulting from intensive selection for quality during domestication and self-pollination has been well documented, raising the need for new diverse germplasm sources. Beans of 232 diverse arabica coffee accessions originating from 27 countries were harvested from the germplasm collection at CATIE, Costa Rica. Substantial variation was observed for bean morphology including 100 bean weight, bean length, width, thickness and bulk density. Non-volatiles including caffeine and trigonelline were analysed and showed larger variation in range than has previously been reported. Results of targeted analysis of 18 volatiles from 35 accessions also showed significant variation, with coefficients of variation from 140% for 4-vinylguaiacol to 62% for geraniol. There were strong correlations between some volatile compounds, suggesting that representative volatiles used in selection would save analytical costs. However, no strong correlation was found between bean morphology and the levels of non-volatile or volatile compounds, implying that it is difficult to select for low or high composition of these compounds based on bean physical characteristics. Utilizing the large variation observed for bean morphology and biochemical traits, it should be possible to select for desirable combinations of traits in arabica coffee breeding.

    Abstract Coffee plants are seasonally exposed to low chilling temperatures in many coffee-producing regions. In this study, we investigated the ameliorative effects of kinetin&mdash;a cytokinin elicitor compound on the nonenzymatic antioxidants and the photosynthetic physiology of young coffee plants subjected to cold stress conditions. Although net CO2 assimilation rates were not significantly affected amongst the treatments, the subjection of coffee plants to cold stress conditions caused low gas exchanges and photosynthetic efficiency, which was accompanied by membrane disintegration and the breakdown of chlorophyll pigments. Kinetin treatment, on the other hand, maintained a higher intercellular-to-ambient CO2 concentration ratio with concomitant improvement in stomatal conductance and mesophyll efficiency. Moreover, the leaves of kinetin-treated plants maintained slightly higher photochemical quenching (qP) and open photosystem II centers (qL), which was accompanied by higher electron transfer rates (ETRs) compared to their non-treated counterparts under cold stress conditions. The exogenous foliar application of kinetin also stimulated the metabolism of caffeine, trigonelline, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, mangiferin, anthocyanins and total phenolic content. The contents of these nonenzymatic antioxidants were highest under cold stress conditions in kinetin-treated plants than during optimal conditions. Our results further indicated that the exogenous application of kinetin increased the total radical scavenging capacity of coffee plants. Therefore, the exogenous application of kinetin has the potential to reinforce antioxidant capacity, as well as modulate the decline in photosynthetic productivity resulting in improved tolerance under cold stress conditions.

    • Extracted Annotations (10/15/2021, 6:56:24 PM)

      "The cold-induced decline in stomatal conductance and the transpiration rate was, however, more apparent in non-kinetin-treated plants (79.6% and 77.3%) than in the kinetin-treated plants (23.4% and2.27%), respectively." (p. 283)

      "Moreover, under cold stress conditions, kinetin treatment caused an improvement in the net CO2 assimilation rate by 63.8%." (p. 283)

      "This was accompanied by higher stomatal conductance (121.7%), transpiration rate (111.8%) and intracellular CO2 concentration (99.4%), as well as a higher internal-to-ambient CO2 concentration ratio (87.8%) in the kinetin compared to non-treated kinetin counterparts under cold stress conditions." (p. 284)

      "Similarly, the mesophyll eciency for carbon fixation was 18.7% higher in kinetin-treated plants under cold stress conditions than in the non-kinetin-treated plants." (p. 284)

      "This means that the exogenous foliar application of kinetin tended to reduce the negative eects induced by cold stress conditions in coee plants, by maintaining relatively higher gas exchange rates in the treated plants compared to the non-treated plants." (p. 284)

      "This was evinced by a larger reduction in the photosystem II operating eciency (FPSII ) in the non-kinetin-treated plants (40.0%), compared to (30.8%) in kinetin-treated plants on exposure to cold stress conditions. This was also accompanied by similar variation in the electron transfer rate, which diminished by 38.0% and 30.3% in the two groups, respectively." (p. 284)

      "Despite the proportion of light energy allocated to photochemistry (qP), and that dissipated as heat (photochemical and nonphotochemical quenching, respectively), not showing significant variation amongst the treatment, the latter (NPQ) showed a remarkable reduction with cold stress conditions more in the non-kinetin-treated plants 46.5%, compared to 36.6% in the kinetin plants, respectively." (p. 284)

      "Similarly, fluorescence quenching (qN) was lowest under cold stress conditions, which was also associated with the cold-stress-induced closure of photosystem reaction centers (qL), especially in the non-kinetin-treated plants (67.0%), compared to the kinetin-treated plants, which maintained 0.35% of the PSII reaction centers open during cold stress conditions." (p. 284)

      "The current results suggest that this exogenous kinetin treatment caused no significant improvement in the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in the leaves of coee plants under cold stress conditions after 5 days." (p. 284)

      "Although no improvement in the PSII quantum eciency was observed in kinetin-treated plants under cold stress conditions, the exogenous foliar application of kinetin slightly improved the eective quantum eciency during the light-adapted state, as indicated by higher amplitudes of both Fv'/Fm' and Fv'/Fo' in kinetin treatment plants; 0.56 and 1.30, compared to 0.52 and 1.08, respectively, in control treatment plants under optimum conditions." (p. 285)

      "Contrary to the expected, the current results indicate that the exogenous application of kinetin tended to increase the content of ROS, which was accompanied by a higher electrolyte leakage index. Nevertheless, this could be a short-term eect, and therefore long-term exposure might yield contrasting results." (p. 285)

      "The reduction in the CO2 fixation capacity, together with low PSII operating eciency, result in an over production of reactive oxygen from any given incident light [44]." (p. 291)

      "Our results further indicated that exposure to cold stress conditions had a negative impact on the membrane stability in the leaves of the coee plants (Figure 1). This could be attributed to an increased production of ROS in the chloroplasts, as well as other organelles with an electron chain system, such as the mitochondria and peroxisomes [49]." (p. 291)

      "Kinetin application tended to increase membrane damage, as well as the disintegration of chlorophyll molecules (Figures 1 and 2, respectively). This could be related to the kinetin mechanism of action after exogenous application, through which it increases nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide activity, leading to the generation of H2 O2 , which acts as a signaling molecule for antioxidant defense [54]." (p. 292)

      "During cold stress conditions when the activities of the enzymatic antioxidants are repressed by low temperatures, coee plants were found to rely on the accumulation of mainly phenolic compounds as alternative defense mechanisms against oxidative stress [15]." (p. 292)

      "Coee (Coea arabica L.) seeds were imported from Bali, Indonesia, and provided by the Sawai Coee Company, Limited (Tottori, Japan)." (p. 293)

      "The seeds had their seed coat removed, were soaked in running water for 3 days, and thereafter germinated on a moist paper towel in an incubator in the dark at 30 C for 14 days [67]. The sprouted seeds after 21 days were then sown in a soil culture consisting of peat moss, perlite and humus, at a ratio of 5:3:2, and contained in individual pots of 10 cm diameter. The seedlings were grown in a greenhouse, whose temperatures were maintained above 20 C for one year. During growth, fertigation was done with a half strength nutrient solution, whose composition was adopted from Hoagland and Arnon [68], with modifications. The nutrient solution consisted of, in mmol L1 , 2.9 N-NO3 , 0.5 N-NH4 + , 0.05 P-H2 PO4 - , 1.2 Ca2+ , 0.3 Mg2+ and 0.4 S-SO4 2 , and in moL L1 , 17.5 Fe (III) EDTA, 0.4 Cu, 0.8 Zn, 3 Mn, 9 B and 0.05 Mo, which was applied depending on the soil culture condition." (p. 293)

      "Coee seedlings were cultivated until they reached 5-pairs leaf stage. After that, for experimentation, uniform-sized seedlings were selected and acclimated in a growth chamber for 3 months under optimum, ambient environmental conditions; day and night temperature of 25/20C, respectively, relative humidity of 70% and photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 250moL m2 s1 provided by white fluorescent tubes with a 12 h photoperiod." (p. 293)

      "The four treatments were as follows: (1) control, for which the plants were maintained at optimum temperatures (day/night, 25/20C, respectively), and sprayed with distilled water; (2) Kinetin, sprayed with 0.35 mM kinetin and maintained at optimum temperature; (3) Cold, sprayed with distilled water and subjected to cold stress; (4) Cold + Kin, sprayed with 0.35 mM kinetin and subjected to cold stress." (p. 293)

      "In all of the treatments, 0.1% isopropyl alcohol (Kao Global Chemicals, Tokyo, Japan) surfactant was used." (p. 293)

    Abstract Polyploidy impacts the diversity of plant species, giving rise to novel phenotypes and leading to ecological diversification. In order to observe adaptive and evolutionary capacities of polyploids, we compared the growth, primary metabolism and transcriptomic expression level in the leaves of the newly formed allotetraploid Coffea arabica species compared with its two diploid parental species ( Coffea eugenioides and Coffea canephora ), exposed to four thermal regimes (TRs; 18–14, 23–19, 28–24 and 33–29°C). The growth rate of the allopolyploid C. arabica was similar to that of C. canephora under the hottest TR and that of C. eugenioides under the coldest TR. For metabolite contents measured at the hottest TR, the allopolyploid showed similar behavior to C. canephora , the parent which tolerates higher growth temperatures in the natural environment. However, at the coldest TR, the allopolyploid displayed higher sucrose, raffinose and ABA contents than those of its two parents and similar linolenic acid leaf composition and Chl content to those of C. eugenioides . At the gene expression level, few differences between the allopolyploid and its parents were observed for studied genes linked to photosynthesis, respiration and the circadian clock, whereas genes linked to redox activity showed a greater capacity of the allopolyploid for homeostasis. Finally, we found that the overall transcriptional response to TRs of the allopolyploid was more homeostatic compared with its parents. This better transcriptional homeostasis of the allopolyploid C. arabica afforded a greater phenotypic homeostasis when faced with environments that are unsuited to the diploid parental species.

    Abstract With the aim of finding alternatives that allow coffee producers to use reusable containers for more vigorous seedlings with a hard and well-formed root system, the root growth of coffee, cv. Castillo, seedlings was evaluated when sown in different types of containers with different dimensions, determining the variables of tap root length, root volume, root biomass and percentage of plants with deformation in the tap root, in the municipality of Tibacuy (Cundinamarca). Six treatments were distributed in a completely randomized block design with four repetitions, distributed as follows: 3x6 seed tray (18 wells) with a 17.3 cm depth; 3x6 seed tray (18 wells) with a 21.8 cm depth; 2x4 seed tray (8 wells) with a 17 cm depth; 2x4 seed tray (8 wells) with a 21.4 cm depth; 11x20 cm black polyethylene bag, and 17x23 cm black polyethylene bag. The results showed statistical differences for the evaluated variables because the restriction in the rooting space affected the root growth, with the plants sown in the containers with the greatest depth having the best characteristics, such as largest root length, root volume and root biomass. Those sown in the plastic seed tray with 18 wells and a depth of 21.8 cm had notable results, which recommends its use in the nursery phase due to the fact that it is reusable and that the environmental impact would be decreased.

    Abstract Water deprivation is an important limiting factor in the productivity of crops like coffee. In addition to transcription factors (TFs) and small non-coding RNAs, transcriptional memory seems to act in gene expression modulation during plant drought response. Here, a RNA-Seq approach was used to investigate the drought responses of Coffea canephora clones 109 and 120, which are respectively sensitive and tolerant to drought. Illumina sequencing allowed us to identify differentially expressed genes (DEG) in the tolerant (826) and sensitive (135) clones and their enriched categories. Our results indicate that the sensitive clone may trigger an oxidative stress response, possibly leading to programmed cell death, when exposed to multiple drought episodes. The acclimation of tolerant plants, on the other hand, seems to involve antioxidant secondary metabolism and the ABA response. Most importantly, 49 memory genes were identified in the tolerant clone. They were mainly linked to the ABA pathway, protein folding and biotic stress. Small RNA profiling also identified regulatory microRNAs in coffee leaves, including hundreds of putative novel ones. Our findings strongly suggest that transcriptional memory modulates the expression of drought-responsive genes and contributes to drought tolerance in C. canephora.

    Abstract Conilon coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) is an important agricultural crop in Brazil due to its high economic value. This plant species is sensitive to the effects of high levels of solar radiation and temperature, which could limit its wide cultivation in the Brazilian Northeast region. However, management practices such as shading could increase the feasibility of its cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different shading methods and the use of calcium particle films on the conilon coffee ecophysiological parameters in the coastal flatland the State of Sergipe, Brazil. The field experiment was carried out as randomized block design with four treatments: i) Natural shading (intercropping coffee and banana plants), ii) Artificial shading with 10% w/v CaCO3 particle films; iii) Artificial shading with 20% w/v CaO particle films; and iv) and control (without shading), and four replicates. Measurements were performed 7, 21 and 35 days after film application at 9:00 h and 12:00 h. Individual parameters, gas exchange efficiency, chlorophyll a fluorescence and maintenance of film coverage on leaves were evaluated. Artificial shading with particle films promoted greater physiological stability of the coffee plants during diurnal meteorological oscillations as compared to the control, resulting in higher rates of liquid photosynthesis (A), better control on stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration (E). Improvement was also observed in the plant water use efficiency (WUE and IWUE) and in the reduction of leaf temperature. Calcium particle films were more efficient in providing protection to the photosystems and improving photochemical efficiency and energy conversion for photophosphorylation than natural shading. However, the results were more pronounced at 21 days after film application and more persistent for treatment with 20% CaO film. Therefore, calcium particle films are useful tools to alleviate coffee plants stress under adverse climate conditions.

      "For plants treated with protectivefilms, the higher instantaneous (WUE) and intrinsic (IWUE) efficiencies of water use, at 9:00 h, was expected due to the greater stomatal opening, gs and E values at that time, which, confirms that thefilms had a regulatory action on water loss through transpiration in coffee plants, maintaining a more balanced system, especially for 20% CaO treatment."

    Abstract Coffee is a commodity that plays an important role in economic activity and is Indonesia’s leading export which contributes to foreign exchange for the country. The coffee market opportunity is quite potential due to increased export demand and domestic consumption. But when viewed from the development of the number of coffee productivity per year has decreased every year. The decline in coffee productivity was caused by many factors, one of which was the coffee shade plant. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the types of coffee shade plants so that they have an impact on the level of coffee productivity. This study used 25 farmers as respondents in Jember Regency and Banyuwangi Regency. Observations on one of the coffee plantations in the Jember area with four different types of shade. The research variables to be measured include biotic factors, abiotic factors and management and productivity of coffee. Data collection used interviews and direct observations on coffee plantations. The results of this study indicate that different types of shade plants have an effect on coffee productivity. The results of measurement of biotic and abiotic factors present in each shade mostly have different results. With different factor levels, it will affect coffee growth which will affect the number of coffee cherries produced so that each type of shade has a different amount of productivity. For one year Gliricidia sepium has an average productivity yield of 2500 kg / hectare, Carica papaya has an average productivity yield of 1000 kg / hectare, Tectona grandis has an average productivity yield of 700 kg / hectare, and Falacataria mollucana has an average productivity of 450 kg / acres. The conclusion of this study is the use of different shade plants affects coffee productivity.

For coffee plants, this selection is essentially based on the production level of coffee beans and on the organoleptic quality of the coffee drink. Many suggestions have been proposed to improve these two criteria, either by modifying cultivation techniques, for example, by input supply, cultivation in full sun or under shade, and plant treatment against biological aggressors or by practicing inter-or intraspecific crosses. However, these improvements only address in part the problems of climate change and development of a sustainable farming.

    Abstract The tropical coffee crop has been predicted to be threatened by future climate changes and global warming. However, the real biological effects of such changes remained unknown at both leaf and whole-canopy level. Therefore, we designed a set of experiments in Coffea sp. under both controlled and non-controlled (seasonal fluctuations) conditions. The experiments were related to single and combined effects of the increase in the atmospheric CO2 concentration and temperature on photosynthesis at leaf–scale, as well as related to impacts of rising temperatures on gas exchanges at whole-canopy scale. The first experiment aimed at to evaluate changes at stomatal and photochemical levels in Coffea arabica (cv. Catuaí Amarelo 65) and C. canephora (cv. Emcapa 8111 Clone 02) under mild temperature (spring) and high temperature (summer) exposure. Potted plants were maintained in a greenhouse, watered to field capacity and subject to the natural variations of light, temperature and relative humidity (Chapter 1). In the second experiment, cropped genotypes of C. arabica L. (cv. Icatú and IPR108) and C. canephora cv. Conilon Clone 153 (CL153) were grown for ca. 10 months at 25/20 °C (day/night) and 380 or 700 μL CO2 L-1 . After that they were subjected to a gradual temperature increase (0.5 °C day -1 ) up to 42/34 °C. Leaf impacts related to stomatal traits, gas exchanges, C-isotope composition, chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters, thylakoid electron transport rates and enzyme activities were assessed at 25/20, 31/25, 37/30 and 42/34 °C (Chapter 2). The third experiment evaluated whole-canopy gas exchanges on genotypes from the two main coffee producing species (C.arabica cv. Catuaí Amarelo 65 and C. canephora cv. Emcapa 8111 Clone 02) during two different seasons varying in temperature. Six plants with ca. 1-year-old of each species were grown in a greenhouse and kept well-watered. Data were continuously collected for 10 days during spring (September 2014 - moderate temperature) and summer (February 2015 -high temperature) and micrometeorological variables were monitored inside the greenhouse (Chapter 3). Overall, our results showed under controlled conditions, both coffee genotypes were tolerant up to 37/30 oC, whereas declines in photosynthetic rates were observed at 42/34 oC mainly associated with higher heat sensibility of the photosynthetic enzymes, namely ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) and ribulose 5-phosphate kinase (RuB5PK). However, enhanced [CO2] strongly alleviated the impacts of high temperatures, particularly at 42/34oC, modifying the response of coffee plants to supra-optimal temperatures. Additionally, coffee genotypes grown under elevated [CO2] did not show an acclimation of photosynthesis so that photosynthetic rates and photochemical and biochemical activities were all improved at all temperatures. On the other hand, under a fluctuating environment conditions, supra-optimal temperatures lead to increases in air DPV affecting both leaf and whole-canopy photosynthetic rates in C. arabica plants. Decreases in photosynthetic rates in this specie during summer were linked to declines in both stomatal and canopy conductance, however without an apparent damage to the photochemical pathway. Finally, although C.canephora showed higher heat tolerance than C. arabica, maintaining similar both whole-canopy and leaf CO2 assimilation values in both seasons, its canopy architecture limited whole-canopy gas exchange due to poor light distribution within the canopy.

    Abstract Desiccation tolerance in seeds depends on the species, development stage and drying conditions, especially the water removal rate. Coffea seeds are considered of intermediate performance, because they tolerate relative dehydration compared to orthodox seeds and are sensitive to low temperatures. The objective of this study was to verify the effect of different drying rates on the viability and storability of Coffea canephora seeds. A complete randomized experimental design was used, in a factorial 3 x 5 x 2 design, with three drying rates (fast, intermediate and slow), five final mean water contents after drying (51, 42, 33, 22 and 15 %) and two storage temperatures (10 and 20°C). The germination and seed vigor assessments, using radicle protrusion, cotyledon leaf opening, seedling emergence and emergence speed index, were performed shortly after drying and after two and four months storage. It was observed that with reduction in the water content there was reduction in the germination values and seed vigor, for all the drying rates. The greatest reductions in physiological quality occurred when the seeds were dried quickly and the best results were obtained at the intermediate drying rate. There was an effect of drying rate and storage temperature on the physiological quality of the seeds, and lower germination and vigor values were observed in seeds with lower water content stored at 20°C. C. canephora seeds were tolerant to desiccation down to 15 % water content and can be stored for four months at 10°C. A temperature of 20ºC can be used to store C. canephora seeds, as long as the water content is not reduced to values below 22 % water content.

    Abstract Sequence comparison of orthologous regions enables estimation of the divergence between genomes, analysis of their evolution and detection of particular features of the genomes, such as sequence rearrangements and transposable elements. Despite the economic importance of Coffea species, little genomic information is currently available. Coffea is a relatively young genus that includes more than one hundred diploid species and a single tetraploid species. Three Coffea orthologous regions of 470–900 kb were analyzed and compared: both subgenomes of allotetraploid Coffea arabica (contributed by the diploid species Coffea eugenioides and Coffea canephora) and the genome of diploid C. canephora. Sequence divergence was calculated on global alignments or on coding and non-coding sequences separately. A search for transposable elements detected 43 retrotransposons and 198 transposons in the sequences analyzed. Comparative insertion analysis made it possible to locate 165 TE insertions in the phylogenetic tree of the three genomes/subgenomes. In the tetraploid C. arabica, a homoeologous non-reciprocal transposition (HNRT) was detected and characterized: a 50 kb region of the C. eugenioides derived subgenome replaced the C. canephora derived counterpart. Comparative sequence analysis on three Coffea genomes/subgenomes revealed almost perfect gene synteny, low sequence divergence and a high number of shared transposable elements. Compared to the results of similar analysis in other genera (Aegilops/Triticum and Oryza), Coffea genomes/subgenomes appeared to be dramatically less diverged, which is consistent with the relatively recent radiation of the Coffea genus. Based on nucleotide substitution frequency, the HNRT was dated at 10,000–50,000 years BP, which is also the most recent estimation of the origin of C. arabica.

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) value is highly dependent on quality. However, due to high humidity in the Central Andean Ranges of Colombia, where much of the country's coffee production resides, Farmers must sell their coffee at harvest in order to mitigate quality loss due to the high moisture. Cooperatives are generally forced to store green coffee until enough volume is collected for export, making it crucial to utilize storage solutions that maintain quality over time. This study examines the efficacy of Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) hermetic bags for storage of green coffee in a simulated small farm setting. PICS bags with the standard three layers (PICS3), PICS bags with two layers (PICS2), and Traditional jute sacks were studied. Quality indicators examined were moisture content, water activity, and cupping score. Analysis of coffee stored at monthly intervals over seven months suggests that both versions of PICS show promise in maintaining moisture content, water activity, and sensory scores. Furthermore, the data suggest that water activity is a better indicator of quality than the currently used moisture content and there is no statistically significant difference in performance between the two PICS treatments.

    Notes:

    • Extracted Annotations (10/15/2021, 6:44:00 PM)

      "Green coffee is traditionally stored in woven jute bags that do little to protect the beans from physical, chemical, or microbiological damage." (p. 1)

      "This forces Colombian farmers to sell the green coffee soon after harvest immediately after the drying step.2 However, cooperatives must collect enough volume of green coffee to qualify for export and therefore must store for up to 2 months." (p. 2)

      "Moisture migration between the green coffee and the atmosphere is a major cause of quality deterioration, causing sucrose molecules to polymerize into glucose, which has been associated with the "past crop" taste (Kornman, 2016)." (p. 2)

      "That is, water activity is equal to the relative humidity of the air when in equilibrium with the food and is a better overall quality indicator than moisture content (Fontana, Jr, 2001)." (p. 2)

      "PICS bags with one outer layer of woven plastic used as protection and for a label and one inner bag layer made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that acts as the hermetic seal. PICS3 represents the standard PICS bags with one outer layer bag of woven plastic and two inner layer bags made of HDPE. The third treatment was the traditional jute bag in which coffee is stored and transported throughout much of the world." (p. 2)

      "Each bag wasfilled with 50 kg of green coffee." (p. 2)

      "The experiment was conducted at the Universidad de Caldas in Manizales, Colombia from March to October 2017." (p. 2)

      "Samples taken from traditional bags were over the 14 percent moisture content threshold in thefirst month and never went below 14 percent in the following months." (p. 3)

      "Five PICS bags (two PICS2 bags and three PICS3 bags) contained coffee over 14 percent moisture content at month 0. This is due to the high humidity on the bagging day (moisture content was within 10e14 percent range when the green coffee was purchased hours before at the cooperative), but rose during the bagging process, demonstrating the challenges faced by farmers." (p. 3)

      "The quality of green coffee stored in PICS2 and PICS3 bags was maintained over the entire storage period. PICS bag's layered hermetic system was able to inhibit moisture transfer between the environment and the green coffee." (p. 8)

      "Moisture content and water activity were both maintained in the PICS bags, while only water activity was found to have a significant effect on the change in sensory score." (p. 8)

      "However, month 7 had a significantly negative effect on sensory score. This indicated that storage in both PICS2 bags and PICS3 bags were only effective at maintaining the sensory score until month 6." (p. 8)

      "It is also important to note that because Colombia has two coffee harvest seasons, it is highly unlikely that coffee farmers or cooperatives would store green coffee longer than six or seven months." (p. 8)

      "There was also no statistical difference in the quality of green coffee stored in PICS2 bags and in PICS3 bags." (p. 8)

      "The use of plastic bags must be balanced with the reduction in product losses and increase in product quality in order to be marketable." (p. 9)

      "The results for the logarithm of absolute sensory score found no significant effect between the logarithm of absolute water activity and the logarithm of absolute sensory score, indicating that the changes in water activity are significant rather than the level of water activity." (p. 9)

      "Another area of focus for additional research on green coffee storage is understanding quality changes further down the supply chain. Exporting and shipping green coffee decreases quality further." (p. 9)

    Abstract We have used AFLPs to construct a genetic linkage map on a pseudo-F2 population of arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) derived from a cross between the cultivars Mokka hybrid and Catimor. Sixty trees from this population were selected on the basis of plant height distribution to construct a linkage map. A total of 456 dominant markers and eight co-dominant markers were generated from 288 AFLP primer combinations. Of the total number of markers generated, 68% were from cv. Catimor, 30% from cv. Mokka hybrid, and 2% were co-dominant. This distribution suggests that the heterozygosity within the cv. Catimor sub-genomes was twice that within the cv. Mokka hybrid sub-genomes. Linkage groups were constructed using MAPMAKER version 3.0, resulting in 16 major linkage groups containing 4–21 markers, and 15 small linkage groups consisting of 2–3 linked markers each. The total length of the map was 1,802.8 cM, with an average distance of 10.2 cM between adjacent markers. This genetic map will serve as the framework for mapping QTL controlling source-sink traits in the same population.

    Abstract Since the early 1990s, the coffee seed has been designated by several international laboratories as the model system for studying the physiology of seeds of the "intermediate" category. In contrast to orthodox seeds, longevity of which increases when they are dehydrated and stored at low temperature, intermediate seeds are only partially tolerant to desiccation and low temperatures. In the narrow ranges of water contents and temperatures which can thus be used, the longevity of intermediate seeds remains very short, which constitutes a major limitation for the conservation of the biodiversity of these species. The development of new analytical chemistry techniques made it possible to demonstrate that the poor longevity of coffee seeds was associated with several types of cellular damage : neutral lipid hydrolysis leading to the accumulation of free fatty acids which destabilize membranes, selective loss of a class of phospholipids, loss and oxidation of the two major hydrophilic antioxidants, ascorbic acid and glutathione. Thanks to the knowledge gained on the processes involved in coffee seed ageing, we propose for the first time in this paper highly accurate technical recommendations for the preparation and the short-term storage of seed lots. Meanwhile, through biophysical approaches including differential scanning calorimetry, the understanding of the mechanisms involved in coffee seed tolerance to ultra-low temperature exposure has significantly progressed. Based on this knowledge, a very effective cryopreservation technique has been developed for coffee seeds, facilitating the long-term conservation of Coffea genetic resources.

    Abstract Several stomatal characteristics viz. stomatal frequency, epidermal cell frequency, stomatal index, leaf area served per stoma, stomatal plastid number and stomatal guard cell length and leaf architecture including major and minor venation pattern was studied in ten Indian arabica (Coffea arabica L.) cultivars. Significant variation was observed for all stomatal characteristics as well as the leaf venation pattern such as leaf size, areole size, number of vein endings entering the areole and vein islets termination number in diff erent cultivars and is attributed to their origin involving different parents and selection pressure. Th e coeffi cient of variability calculated for all the stomatal features indicated that both stomatal guard cell length and stomatal plastid number were least variable whereas leaf area served per stoma was the most variable character among cultivars. Among all the stomatal features, high heritability (h<sup>2</sup>) was observed for epidermal cell frequency. In all the cultivars, leaves were simple opposite with moderate mid-vein and entire margins. The major venation pattern was camptodromous type with festooned brochidodromous secondaries. Intersecondary veins were noticed in all cultivars. The marginal ultimate venation was either incomplete or incompletely looped. The functional significance of stomatal features and leaf vein architecture is discussed.

    Abstract Brazil is the world’s leading Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) producer. Ninety percent of cultivars grown derive from the Instituto Agronômico (IAC) breeding program, based on exploitation of large germplasm, long-run efforts for artificial hybridizations, and evaluations in representative growing regions. Since the species is predominantly self-pollinated, breeding strategies aim to produce homozygous lines developed mainly by pedigree or backcross methods. Yield is outstanding in modern cultivars. To be increased, genotype × environment interactions must be exploited or exotic polygenes introgressed. Bean size is minimum in cultivar ′Mokka′ (momo) and maximum in the cultivar ′Maragogipe′ (MgMg). ′Bourbons′ (tt) have smaller beans than common cultivars but superior beverage quality. The Ct allele is the basis of several short-stature releases. Further reduction in plant size might be achieved by combining Sb and Vl but selection is hampered by a double-dominant epistatic interaction at the nursery stage. Nine SH genes for leaf-rust resistance in Coffea are counteracted by nine pathogenicity v genes in Hemileia vastatrix. SH1,2,4,5 from Ethiopian accessions, SH3 from C. liberica, and the remaining from C. canephora were bred into C. arabica. Changes in prevalent rust races have overcome several resistances. Lm1 and Lm2 genes for leaf-miner resistance from C. racemosa were transferred to C. canephora × C. arabica backcross derived lines but cultivar release awaits uniform advanced lines. Breeding for nematode resistance identified in C. canephora derivatives and Ethiopian accessions needs basic studies and integration with molecular markers. The ′Mokka′ accession has superior cup quality but the momo gene block reduces bean size and yields. C. eugenioides, a diploid ancestor of C. arabica, is a source of fine flavor. Initial backcross lines are extremely late with low yields but show a distinct cup profile. Presently, 65 cultivars are recommended by IAC for plantings in diverse edaphoclimatic regions of Brazil.

    Abstract Several species of Coffea and varieties of C. arabica differing in chromosome number had their caffeine content determined in the leaves. For Coffea arabica var. "Angustifolia", var. "Caturra" and var. "Icatu", it was observed caffeine decrease from the haploid (2n = 22) to tetraploid leaves (2n = 44). Caffeine in the tetraploid "Angustifolia" was decreased by 50% when compared to the haploid. Caffeine reduction was also observed in leaves of C. canephora var. "Kouilou" as chromosome number was increased (2n = 22 ® 2n = 44). In this case, caffeine in the leaves of the diploid genotype was close to 4 times higher than in the tetraploid. On the other hand it was observed an increase of the alkaloid when the chromosome number was doubled in the C. canephora var. "Robusta".

    Abstract Arabica coffees (60 % of current world coffee production) are generally sold at considerably better prices than robustas on account of superior beverage quality. However, costs of production are much higher, mainly due to more stringent demands for soil and climatic conditions, crop management, primary processing and control of several pests and diseases including the potentially very destructive coffee leaf rust (CLR) and berry disease (CBD). Breeding for disease resistance in combination with vigour, productivity and quality started in the early 1920s in India, but especially in the second half of the 20th century comprehensive breeding programmes have been implemented in several other coffee producing countries. Many of the resulting CLR- and CBD + CLR-resistant cultivars (true-breeding lines and F1 hybrids) meet the required standards of profitable and sustainable crop production. Challenges of more recent date include limited access to additional genetic resources of Coffea arabica, breakdown of host resistance to CLR, aggravating insect pest problems and the increasingly negative impact of climate change on arabica coffee production worldwide. This review discusses prospects of breeding and disseminating next generation (hybrid) cultivars of arabica coffee for sustainable coffee production under changing conditions of diseases, pests and climate. International networking on coffee breeding will facilitate sharing of resources (financial, genetic) and scientific information, application of genomics-assisted selection technologies, and pre-breeding for specific characters. Breeding and multiplication of new cultivars well adapted to the local environment will continue to be carried out at national or regional levels. A tree crop like arabica coffee does not lend itself to centralized variety development and dissemination on a global scale.

    Abstract Coffee, often referred to as ‘Brown Gold’, is a popular beverage crop produced in more than 80 countries including India, having an annual turnover of ca. US$ 70 billion globally. This economically important plantation crop of tropics and subtropics comprises only two commercial species, Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner (popularly known as arabica and robusta coffee, respectively) although there exists large number of Coffea species worldwide. C. arabica L. is the only allotetraploid species (2n = 4x = 44) in the genus and self-fertile while all other species including C. canephora are diploids (2n = 22) and self-incompatible. Arabica and robusta coffee types differ significantly in terms of phenotype, agronomic behaviour, bean and liquor quality, and breeding behaviour as well as genetic variability in their extant germplasm. Arabicas produce superior quality coffee but are susceptible to major diseases and pests while robustas are more tolerant to the diseases and pests but the bean and the liquor qualities are inferior to arabicas. Therefore, the major focus of coffee improvement in India is on the development of high-yielding hybrids having durable host resistance in arabica and evolving drought-tolerant robusta genotypes to cope with the changing climate, more efficiently. Till date, the Central Coffee Research Institute (CCRI), India, has developed 13 improved arabica and three robusta selections for commercial cultivation, by employing conventional breeding approaches and utilizing coffee germplasm that was introduced in the nineteenth century through multiple international expeditions. Occurrence of spontaneous tetraploid inter-specific hybrids between tetraploid arabica and other diploid species has also facilitated arabica coffee improvement through introgressive breeding. More recently, the DNA marker tools and technologies that provide new opportunities to overcome some of the limitations of the conventional breeding strategies are being integrated for more precise characterization of primary as well as secondary gene pools for exploitation in breeding through marker-assisted selection. This chapter highlights the key aspects of Indian coffee sector vis-a-vis world scenario and unique features of Indian coffee cultivation, genetic resources, analysis and exploitation of genetic diversity for crop improvement through conventional breeding.

    Abstract Abstract This study proposes a selection strategy to be applied to a large number of coffee accessions, which can be useful when exploring many genotypes in breeding programs for beverage quality. Over three consecutive years, 270 Arabica coffee accessions from the Germplasm Bank of Minas Gerais, Brazil, were sensorially characterized. At the end of this period, the 20 genotypes with the greatest potential for specialty coffee production were selected, which were subjected to a second sensory characterization. Additionally, we determined the genetic correlations between the attributes that make up the final beverage score. We did not identify an attribute that was more important than the others in the organoleptic performance of the studied accessions. Through the proposed method, we identified genetic variation in our original population and selected five accessions with beverage quality considered excellent according to the SCA classification. These accessions were planted in field conditions of highly specialized farms to study their interaction with the cultivation environment and to promote the increase in production of such coffees. Additionally, the five selected accessions are being used in crosses with elite cultivars create new segregating populations. We conclude that estimation of the heritable variation of each accession, the use over the years of common check cultivars with known performance, and extremely care of experimental precision in the entire processes warrant fair comparisons.

    Abstract GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR BEAN INTRINSIC OUTTURN IN Coffea GERMPLASM The intrinsic coffee bean outturn, percent weight ratio of two normal flat beans and the respective whole fruit, was studied in six Coffea germplasm groups in order to investigate the genetic variability for this characteristic. It was evaluated in C. arabica a group of five short stature cultivars, another group composed of 22 cultivars and selections yet a third group of 79 items comprising cultivars, botanical varieties and types, mutations and accessions from Ethiopia. In C. canephora it were studied three acessions of var. kouilou and ten of var. robusta. It were investigated also eight other species of the genus Coffea. Considerable genetic variability was detected within C. arabica and C. canephora and among the other species of the genus Coffea. The range of values among the last group was much larger than in any other group investigated. The magnitude of variations and the economic implication of bean intrinsic outturn indicate that this characteristic could be used as an additional selection criterion in improvement programs aiming at the development of high yielding cultivars of C. arabica and C. canephora.

    Abstract One of the greatest problems in Coffea arabica breeding is identifying precisely any inbred line, based only on botanical and agronomical descriptors, because of the reduced genetic variability of the species, close pedigree origin, which results in small phenotypic variation. Recently, molecular markers have been used for plant germplasm characterization and identification in several commercial species. This work evaluates the reliability of three marker systems: RAPD, AFLP and SSR, to characterize the genetic variability of commercially-used Coffea inbred lines developed by the Instituto Agronômico (IAC), and their potential for cultivar identification. All methods identified polymorphisms among the cultivars. The genetic diversity recognized by the methods is very similar, although is very narrow. RAPD and SSR marker systems grouped more efficiently the evaluated cultivars according to parental origin. None of the methods allowed inbred line identification. Therefore for varietal protection, it would be necessary using a combination of botanical, agronomical and molecular markers descriptors for precise cultivar identification.

    Abstract Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers have been successfully employed to analyse the genetic diversity among cultivated and subspontaneous accessions of Coffea arabica. The narrow genetic base of commercial cultivars was confirmed. On the other hand, a relatively large genetic diversity was observed within the germplasm collection demonstrating the importance of collecting missions. Results suggested an East-West differentiation in Ethiopia, the primary centre of diversification of C. arabica. The large heterosis effect reported in intergroup hybrids could be related to such genetic differentiation. RAPD method appeared to be effective in resolving genetic variations and in grouping germplasm in C. arabica.

    Abstract The use of molecular markers to detect polymorphism at DNA level is one of the most significant developments in molecular biology techniques. With the development of new next-generation sequencing technologies, the discovery of SNP became easier and faster, and the costs of data point were reduced. The development and use of SNP markers for coffee have provided new perspectives for the evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure via different statistical approaches. In this study, 72 Coffea canephora genotypes were analyzed to identify the SNP markers and apply them to genetic studies and selection of parents/hybrids in genetic breeding. As many as 117,450 SNP were identified using the RAPiD Genomics platform. After quality analyses, 33,485 SNP were validated for analyses of genetic diversity and population structure. Genotypes were separated based on their varietal groups, and Hybrids were differentiated using the clustering and Bayesian approach. Coffee accessions mistakenly identified in the germplasm and breeding program were detected. The Conilon varietal group presented the lowest genetic dissimilarity values, suggesting the introduction of new accessions in the germplasm bank. The highest genetic distances values were observed among genotypes of the heterotic groups (Conilon and Robusta). The markers were efficient in evaluating the genetic diversity and population structure of C. canephora. Promising crosses were selected within and between the varietal groups. Hybrids with greater genetic distances were selected, which were important for C. canephora breeding programs.

    Abstract Coffee is one of the most important plantation crops, grown in about 80 countries across the world. The genus Coffea comprises approximately 100 species of which only two species, that is, Coffea arabica (commonly known as arabica coffee) and Coffea canephora (known as robusta coffee), are commercially cultivated. Genetic improvement of coffee through traditional breeding is slow due to the perennial nature of the plant. Genetic transformation has tremendous potential in developing improved coffee varieties with desired agronomic traits, which are otherwise difficult to achieve through traditional breeding. During the last twenty years, significant progress has been made in coffee biotechnology, particularly in the area of transgenic technology. This paper provides a detailed account of the advances made in the genetic transformation of coffee and their potential applications.

    Abstract In general, the current industrial somatic embryogenesis (SE) propagation processes for coffee are costly because they are not productive enough. We show that SE-derived plantlets from C. arabica hybrids were temporarily − between 10 and 25 weeks of development in nursery − able to root with a high success rate (up to 90%) whatever the genotype tested, before gradually losing that capacity. We took advantage of this transient rooting capacity, probably due to the rejuvenation process occurring during SE, to establish a new propagation system based on the continuous culture of rejuvenated SE plants and on the serial rooting of cuttings under nursery conditions, known as horticultural rooted mini-cutting (HRMC). The excessively low SE efficiency with an embryo-to-plantlet conversion rate of only 37% can be greatly offset by the much higher HRMC multiplication rate (14 in six months) and better overall quality. Fifteen week-old rooted mini-cuttings proved to be more uniform (2–4.5 vs.1–5.5cm for plant height distribution) and vigorous (1.41 vs. 0.81mm for stem diameter) than same-age somatic seedlings. This effect persisted for five years after field planting, mainly through a slightly greater collar diameter (43.3 vs 40.6mm), whereas at root level no differences were found. The HRMC method is expected to dramatically reduce arabica hybrid production costs (by up to 50% at US$ 0.27/plant ready for field planting) and thus to promote the mass utilization of genetically superior hybrid clones of coffee.

    Abstract In the last 28 years, important advances have been made in in vitro coffee culture techniques, putting the crop in a position to benefit from biotechnology. Some systems of plant regeneration have already been optimised in coffee. This constitutes an important achievement with implications for the micropropagation of superior genotypes obtained by conventional breeding programmes and for the application of genetic transformation procedures. Techniques such as somatic embryogenesis, apical meristem and axillary bud culture, induction and development of adventitious buds, culture of zygotic embryos, anther and pollen culture, cell suspension and protoplast culture, and in vitro selection are presently at an advanced stage of development and are being used to improve coffee via biotechnological methods. Some important advances have also been made at the molecular level. The verification that coffee plants are capable of being infected by Agrobacterium tumefaciens and A. rhizogenes strains represents an important achievement. Direct DNA uptake, gene bombardment using the biolistic method and mediation by Agrobacterium are the most effective methods used in coffee transformation. The transient expression of gus (encoding b-glucuronidase) and stable transformation have been detected in both Coffea arabica and C. canephora.

    Abstract Application of a kaolin-based particle film, Surround WP, was analyzed using glass plates and slides. The kaolin was sprayed on coffee grown in full sun to evaluate physiological responses to this shading technique. Kaolin reduced photosynthetically active radiation and ultraviolet transmission and decreased surface temperatures on glass slides. In the second year of application, photosynthesis of plants sprayed with kaolin was 71% greater than full-sun plants and yields were doubled. Leaf temperature was significantly lower in the kaolin treatment, but stable C isotope ratios, water use efficiency, nodal growth, and specific leaf area were not. The most likely mechanisms for increased yield are increased light transmittance to inner-canopy nodes or greater storage of photosynthate during the first year. Although results from this study suggest there is much promise for improving the performance and yield of coffee with kaolin application, studies with other species have shown inconsistent results. This inconsistency may be linked to variation in application techniques, kaolin coverage and subsequent effects on light transmission, leaf temperature, and physiological function. Thus, reports on physiological performance alone are insufficient to evaluate the use of kaolin application. Detailed information on application techniques combined with measurements of end-product criteria such as yield or quality are recommended to facilitate cross-study comparisons.

    Abstract The objective of this research was to obtain more suitable information concerning coffee seed processing in the air-screen machines and gravity table, studying their effects on the physiological seed quality. One coffee seed lot of the Yellow Catuaí IAC 62 cultivar was processed in a precleaner machine, in an air-screen cleaner and in a gravity table, working in several sequences and combinations, according to technical recommendations for seed processing. The seeds were evaluated as to their physiological quality by the germination test, accelerated aging test, seedling emergence, height and weight of dry matter of seedlings and young plants. The seed moisture was determined at the beginning of the evaluations. The statistical design was randomized blocks with four replications. Mean comparisons were done by the Tukey test at 5 % of probability. It was concluded that: a) physiological seed quality was improved by specific equipments in the several phases of processing, with the best seed quality, obtained with complete operational sequence, where the lot was submitted to the action of the air-screen cleaner and gravity table; b) the gravity table, associated with air-screen cleaner, was effective in removing debris from the seed lot, improving the physiological seed quality; c) larger or denser seeds had superior physiological performance than small sizeor lowdensity seeds, and the large pea berry seeds presented physiological quality similar to the large flat seeds; d) discart of smallest or lightest seeds to improved the physiological seed quality, resulting in homogeneous, and high quality seed lots, and more vigorous young plants.

    Notes:

    • So, if the seeds are immature, deteriorated or with damaged endocarp, may dry out more faster than mature seeds or with intact endocarp.

      Therefore, in addition to adopting procedures that minimize mechanical damage during the seed extraction process, it is necessary to carry out strict monitoring and control of water content during the drying process, in order to reduce the risks of loss of quality arising from drying excessive; according to B ACCHI (1955), the decrease in content of water to levels below 10% leads to loss irreversible physiological potential of coffee seeds.

      In a study on the processing of seeds from Arabica coffee in a fan machine and sieves and density table, G IOMO et al. (2001) verified that the classification of seeds solely because of the size may not be enough to ensure good efficiency in improving the batch quality, since the sieves are typically selected based on dimensions external of the seeds, ie, length, width and thickness of seeds involved by the endocarp.

      The research was carried out at the Institute Agronomic (IAC), in Campinas (SP), using a batch of coffee seeds Catuaí Amarelo IAC 62, from the seed production field of the Regional Center for Technological Development of Agribusiness in the Northeast of São Paulo, located in Mococa (SP).

      Seed extraction was done by Wet processing of fruits completely ripe, in the cherry state, according to the procedures cited by S IERRA et al. (1990) and SILVA (2000).

      Mucilage removal was performed by natural fermentation for 24 hours, as per cited by D IAS and B ARROS (1993). After degumming, the seeds were pre-dried in the sun for 4 hours and then placed on trays with a bottom screen, where they continued to dry, in the shade, until reach a water content of approximately 30% (base moist).

      Subsequently, the seeds were beneficiaries in the Processing Unit of IAC seeds, in various combinations of pre-cleaning machine, fan machine and sieves (cleaning and sorting) and density table, according to the criteria proposed by G REGG and F AGUNDES (1975) and V AUGHAN et al. (1976).

      Twenty treatments were obtained in the various processing steps, as described below: T 1 : seeds from the original lot (O); T 2 : seeds hand picked (EM); T 3 : Machine seed pre-cleaning (PL); T 4 , T 5 , T 6 and T 7 : collected seeds in the upper (S), intermediate-upper (IS) discharges, middle-lower (II) and lower (I) of the table density, respectively; T 8 , T 9 , T 10 , T 11 and T 12 : seeds collected in sieves 15 x ¾ (P15), 22 (P22), 20 (P20), 13 x ¾ (P13) and 18 (P18) of the fans and sieves, respectively; T 13 , T 14 , T 15 and T 16 : seeds from sieve 22 collected in discharges upper (P22S), intermediate-upper (P22IS), middle-lower (P22II) and lower (P22I) of the table density, respectively; T 17 , T 18 , T 19 and T 20 : seeds from the sieve 20 collected in the discharges upper (P20S), upper-intermediate (P20IS), middle-lower (P20II) and lower (P20I) of the table density respectively.

      Germination test: performed at constant temperature of 30°C, in the presence of light, with two samples of 50 seeds without endocarp per repetition, with four repetitions per treatment. "germitest" paper towel was used as substrate moistened with an amount of water equivalent to 2.5 times its mass, as per the recommendations described in the Rules for Seed Analysis ( BRAZIL , 1992).

      Accelerated aging test: performed according to the method described by M ARCOS F ILHO (1999). Samples of approximately 250 seeds without endocarp, of each repetition, were evenly distributed on a steel screen stainless steel in gerbox containing 40 at the bottom milliliters of distilled water. the gerboxes were placed in a BOD-type chamber and maintained by 72 hours at 42 ºC and relative humidity of air close to 100%.

      These results demonstrate that there was efficiency of the density table in dislocating the driest seeds for the lower discharge, as a consequence of its lower specific mass in relation to the wetter seeds, but under some effect of the water content that may have interfered in seed stratification, corroborating results of G IOMO et al. (2001; 2004; 2005).

      Seeds small or more light, collected in the bottom sieve of the fans and sieves (P18) and in the lower discharge of the density table (I, P22I and P20I), provided the lowest germination values, equaling to seeds not benefited from the original lot (O).

      Fractions with larger or larger seeds heavy tended to provide germination superior to smaller or lighter seeds, but they did not always differ statistically.

      These results reveal that, in parallel to the concentration of seeds with lower values ​​of water content and specific mass, in the lower discharge from the density table, there is the possibility of separating less vigorous coffee seeds in this discharge, indicating a positive effect of the density table on the separation of fractions with physiological quality distinct

      The performance of mocha seeds (P15 and P13) was similar to the flat seeds, showing that there is no reason to discarded from the coffee seed lots.

      It is verified, therefore, that the equipment used in the processing caused different effects on the physiological quality of the seeds, being the performance of the density table superior to the fan and sieve machine for separation of seeds with different levels of quality

      The emergence speed index of seedlings indicated that the physiological quality of seeds classified in the sieve 20 and displaced for the lower discharge of the density table (P20I) was significantly lower than the seeds obtained in the upper and upper-intermediate discharges. It is observed that, despite the seeds classified by size and specific mass have, by this test, vigor values ​​similar to seeds sorted only by size, the table density allowed to shift to discharge inferior to less vigorous seeds than, of the same as observed in the other tests, they corresponded to seeds with lower specific mass.

      Seedlings from small or lighter seeds had lower shoot growth, less matter accumulation dry and were less vigorous than the seedlings. from large or heavier seeds

      Mechanized processing improved effectively the physiological quality of the seeds, providing a significant increase in the mass of seedling dry matter in relation to seeds without processing (O) and to the chosen seeds manually (EM)

      Although this determination did not allow detect significant differences that would enable the quality discrimination between treatments with seeds in the intermediate vigor range, it was verified that the small and light seeds gave rise to less vigorous plants, indicating that the initial seedling development was proportional to the endosperm reserve tissue content.

      Seedling height assessment (Table 2) did not allow detecting significant differences between the treatments.

      The density table, associated with the machine of fans and sieves, it was the equipment that provided the best separation of materials that interfere negatively in the physiological quality of coffee seeds.

      Seeds of larger or larger size density are of higher physiological quality than the seeds of smaller size or lesser density; at big mocha seeds are of physiological quality similar to that of flat seeds;

      Disposal of batch fractions consisting of small or less dense seeds improved significantly the physiological quality of seeds of coffee, making it possible to obtain homogeneous batches and favoring the obtainment of more vigorous seedlings.

    Abstract The multi-stem aspect of crop systems using Coffea canephora makes it necessary to correctly establish the number of orthotropic stems per plant during the crop formation. The present study was developed to study the variability of responses among improved genotypes of C. canephora to the technique of bending orthotropic stems as a mean of promoting the sprout growth, allowing producing an adequate number of vigorous sprouts that will be conducted to create the multi-stem canopies. The experiment studied 27 improved genotypes of C. canephora, following a randomized block design, with four replications and six plants per experimental plot. The results show that growth pattern and responsiveness varies among genotypes, and that parameters of biomass allocation and leafiness seems to be good describers to study of genetic variability. The observed variability was enough to cluster the genotypes regarding their response to this technique and to identify groups of genotypes with higher similarity and homogeneous behavior. It is important to identify genotypes from groups of slower growth (e.g., 102, 103 and 301) or lesser emission of new sprouts (e.g., 207 and 301), since these may require additional treatments to develop the adequate number of orthotropic stems in the multi-stem architecture.

    Abstract It is now well documented that moonlight affects the life cycle of invertebrates, birds, reptiles, and mammals. The lunisolar tide is also well-known to alter plant growth and development. However, although plants are known to be very photosensitive, few studies have been undertaken to explore the effect of moonlight on plant physiology.

    Abstract Seed desiccation sensitivity was studied in nine species of the genus Coffeaby measuring seed viability after equilibration over various saturated salt solutions. A quantal response model based on the logistic distribution was developed in order to describe the typical S-shaped patterns observed. The closeness of fit of the desiccation sensitivity model was shown, and the assumption that seed desiccation sensitivity follows a continuous distribution within species was verified. For each species, the water content at which 50% of initial viability was reached, WC50, and a specific parameter describing the intra-specific variability, β, were calculated using a non-linear regression. A simplified water sorption model was developed which allowed easy calculation of water activity and water potential corresponding to WC50 (aw50 and Ψ50) for relative humidities ranging between 10 and 100%. Distribution of WC50and Ψ50 (or aw50) in the genus Coffea was homogeneous within the following intervals: from 0.05 to 0.38 g H2O.g−1dw for WC50 and from −168 to −11 MPa for Ψ50. Different classifications of the coffee species studied as regards to their desiccation sensitivity were obtained depending on whether WC50 or Ψ50was used for classification. The continuum for desiccation sensitivity observed within the nine species studied confirmed that coffee is an appropriate material for studying desiccation sensitivity.

    Abstract Genotypes of Arabica coffee could perform different ability in seed germination. Biochemical contents of seeds could influence germination ability of seeds. Many studies reported that environment of seed producing site such as altitude, precipitation and temperature could affect amount of biochemical contents of seeds. However, germination ability of seeds of arabica coffee growing in different altitude and different climate zones of Sumatera Utara was not yet investigated. This research tested the effect of genotypes and these factors. Seven genotypes from seven different climate zones in seven districts of Sumatera Utara were tested for germination ability using randomized complete block design. The result showed that genotypes were significantly (a = 0.05) and highly significantly different (a = 0.01) in number of days to reach 80 % germination, percentage of germination, height of cotyledon, and height of the first leaf. Number of days to reach 80 % germination showed a significant negative correlation (r = -0.930**) with percentage of germination but a significant positive correlation (r = 0.759*) with altitude of farms. It could be concluded that Arabica coffee genotypes affected seed germination ability. Seed germination ability was more affected by elevation of seed producing location rather than by precipitation and temperature.

    Abstract Nursery experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of removal of parchment and soaking of coffee seeds in pure water for different durations on emergence and early growth of coffee seedlings. A split plot design of three replications was employed with seed types (seeds with parchment and clean coffee) and soaking hour (soaking seeds for 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 h and control) in pure water were assigned as main and sub-plot, respectively. Emergence of seedlings was significantly (p<0.01) affected by coffee seed type (clean coffee vs. coffee with in parchment) where better emergence response was obtained from clean coffee. Forty five, 75 and 90 days after sowing 18.46, 56.70 and 84.70% emergence was obtained from clean coffee, respectively while only 1.86, 15.40 and 49.41% emergence was obtained in the same period, respectively, from coffee seeds sown in parchment. Better emergence occurred from seeds soaked in water against non-soaked ones 45 and 60 days after sowing. Moreover, leaf area and total dry matter weight differed in response to different soaking hours. The seedling vigor index also showed a statistical difference (p<0.01) between coffee seed types where clean coffee resulted in higher value (313.13) over the parchment coffee (232.48). The same parameter resulted from coffee seeds soaked for 72 h was better (p<0.05) when compared to non-soaked seeds and seeds soaked for less than 72 h. The study revealed removing parchment and soaking coffee seeds in water enhances emergency and subsequent growth of coffee seedlings.

    Notes:

    • Among 100 seeds (74-40), which were ready for sowing and looked healthy with parchment, about 11 seeds were found to be defective upon the removal of parchment (Unpublished laboratory experiment).

      A split plot design of three replications was employed with seed types (seeds with parchment and clean coffee) and soaking hour (soaking seeds for 12, 24, 26, 48, 60 and 72 h and non-soaked) in pure water were assigned as main and sub-plot, respectively.

      A recommended media (forest soil) collected from the research center, was air dried, manually crushed and passes through 2 mm sieve to remove clods, plant roots and other foreign materials. The sieved soil was filled to black polyethylene bag of 12 cm wide and 25 cm length.

      Red ripe cherries from coffee cultivar 74-40, which was resistant to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD), were hand picked and prepared for sowing. Seeds were soaked for the specified durations (12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours).

      Four seeds were sown per polyethylene bag. Thinning to one seedling in a bag was done 90 days after sowing when all normal viable seedlings were expected to emerge.

      Forty-five days after sowing, there was a highly significant difference (p<0.01) between the two treatments where clean coffee resulted in 18.46 and 1.86% from parchment coffee (Table 1).

      Similarly, after 60 days of sowing 56.7 and 15.4% emergence was seen from clean and parchment coffee seeds, respectively evidencing a significant difference (p<0.05) between the treatments).

      Moreover, 75 days after sowing there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in percent emergence between the treatments where 84.7 and 49.41% was recorded from clean and parchment seeds, respectively.

      Forty-five days after sowing, coffee seeds soaked for 12 hours were better in emergence (13.28%) than non-soaked seeds (2.87%). Similarly, coffee seeds soaked for 72 hours found to be better in emergence (49.8%) in comparison to non-soaked ones (22.66%). The interaction effect of coffee seed type and soaking hour was significant (p<0.05) in emergence percentage taken 45 and 60 days after sowing, however the interaction was not significant 75 days after sowing (Appendix 1).

      There was significant difference (p<0.05) in some growth parameters: leaf area, root volume, root dry weight, stem dry weight and total dry matter between clean and parchment coffee seeds (Table 2). In all parameters, clean coffee resulted in better performance over the parchment seed. Girth was superior in clean coffee (0.29 cm) over parchment seeds (0.25 cm). Leaf area was found to be better from the clean coffee (10.86 cm2) in comparison to parchment seed (9.63 cm2). Similar result was obtained in root volume where 1.19 and 1.06 ml was recorded from clean and parchment coffee seeds, respectively, Root dry weight was higher in clean coffee (0.172 g) over the parchment seed (0.144 g). Stem dry weight was similarly higher in clean coffee (0.122 g) in relation to that of parchment coffee (0.092 g). Total dry matter was also found to be better in clean seeds (0.641 g) in comparison to that of parchment coffee (0.578 g). Statistical difference was not observed between the clean and parchment seeds in seedling height and leaf dry weight.

      As far as soaking hours was concerned, significant different differences (p<0.05) were seen in leaf area, leaf dry weight, stem dry weight and total dry matter. In every parameter in which difference was observed, non-soaked seeds were inferior in performance in relation to the soaked seeds for different hours. Accordingly, in leaf area, seeds soaked for 72 h were better (12.43 cm2) than non-soaked seeds (8.67 cm2) and other seeds soaked for less time. Similarly, leaf and stem dry weight were interior in non-soaked seeds 0.322 and 0.101 g, respectively, Soaked seeds for 36 and 72 h were better in leaf and stem dry weight which scored 0.405 and 0.15 g, respectively. A maximum of 0.795 g total dry matter weight was obtained in seeds soaked for 72 h in comparison to the least scoring non-soaked seeds which was resulted in only 5.37g of total dry matter six months after sowing.

      Higher SVI was obtained from clean seed (313.13) in relation to the parchment seed (232.48) evidencing a highly significant difference (p<0.01) (Table 3). There was also a significant difference (p<0.05) between the soaking hours where seeds soaked for 72 h gave highest SVI (324.21) in comparison to seeds soaked for less time and non-soaked one, which was 233.94. The interaction effect of coffee seed type and soaking hours was significant (p<0.05).

      Removal of parchment in coffee seeds before sowing hastened emergence.

      With regard to soaking rates, generally coffee seeds soaked in water emerged earlier than non-soaked seeds.

      Statistically significant difference was detected in percent emergence until 75 days after sowing among difference soaking hours. At 45 days after sowing, seeds soaked for 72 hours were better in emergence by 15.88% than the non-soaked seeds.

      Maximum vigor was obtained from seeds soaked for 48 hours.

      Accordingly, seedlings from clean coffee that showed better performance in emergence throughout the emergence period were also found to be vigorous than seedlings from parchment seeds at 90 days after sowing. In other words, coffee seedlings that emerged earlier were vigorous than late comers.

      As the seedlings got older and older, the difference in vigor observed during early growth stage was seen decreasing, however the interaction effect of coffee types and soaking hour was significant. Clean coffee seeds soaked for 72 h were better in all parameters except in root volume.

    Abstract When coffee seeds are in an environment which does not contain microorganisms the endocarp inhibits germination. This inhibition is neither due to impermeability to water and gases nor to the presence of growth inhibitors but is probably caused by mechanical resistance.

    Abstract The biochemical and physiological basis of intermediate seed storage behaviour was examined by investigating the effects of equilibrium drying under relative humidities (RHs) of 9–81% and of storage at 20 or 5°C on coffee seed viability and antioxidant, lipid and sugar status. Slow drying induced a significant decrease in the concentrations of the pools of two major antioxidants, glutathione and ascorbate, and an increase in the free fatty acid (FFA) content of seeds, independent of the RH employed. Seeds stored at 81% RH and 20°C lost their viability very rapidly and showed an extensive loss and oxidation of antioxidants, an accumulation of FFA and a selective loss of phospholipids, in particular phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Interestingly, the changes in PE content were not due to fatty acid de-esterification and the increase in FFA levels resulted from neutral lipid hydrolysis. Decreasing the storage temperature to 5°C considerably slowed both the loss of seed viability and the level of oxidative stress as well as the rates of lipid hydrolysis. No decline in seed viability was observed under storage conditions of 45% RH/20°C. After 1 year under 45% RH/5°C, the loss of seed viability was found to be due to imbibitional damage and could be circumvented by pre-humidifying or pre-heating seeds before sowing.

      "For the measurement of seed desiccation sensitivity, seeds were desiccated over K acetate (23% RH), K2CO3 (45% RH), KOH (9% RH), MgCl2 (32% RH), NH4NO3 (62% RH) and (NH4)2SO4 (81% RH) saturated solutions." (p. 194)

      "Storage behaviour at 5 and 20C was investigated using seeds desiccated over K2CO3 and (NH4)2SO4 saturated solutions. Batches of 100 seeds were sealed hermetically in aluminium foil-polyethylene bags and were stored for 0, 3 and 12 months in the dark." (p. 194)

      "Seed pre-humidification, osmoconditioning and pre-heating treatments were performed as described in Dussert et al. (2003)." (p. 194)

      "For germination, batches of nine seeds were placed above 18 g of vermiculite fully imbibed with 45 ml of sterile water in closed plastic boxes (Magenta, Chicago, IL)." (p. 194)

      "Warm pre-humidification of seeds after desiccation significantly improved their tolerance to desiccation when compared with seeds placed directly under germination conditions and the viability of seeds equilibrated under 23% RH increased from 38 to 88% with this treatment." (p. 196)

      "Whatever the RH employed for drying, 99-100% of embryos extracted from seeds after drying developed into normal seedlings (Fig. 2), confirming that desiccation-induced loss of seed viability was due to damage to the endosperm only." (p. 196)

      "The loss of viability induced by desiccation was not associated with a change in either the antioxidant status or the sugar composition of the seeds (Table 2)." (p. 196)

      "Seeds dried under 81% RH lost their viability very rapidly when stored at 20C, with only 30% developing" (p. 196)

      "nto normal seedlings after 3-month storage, and a complete loss of viability after 1 year (Fig. 3)." (p. 196)

      "None of the three controlled rehydration procedures tested (preheating, pre-humidification and osmoconditioning) improved the percentage of seedling recovery after storage under these conditions (Table 3)." (p. 196)

      "By contrast, no change in viability was observed throughout 1 year of storage at 20C in seeds dried under 45% RH, again independent of the rehydration procedure employed after storage (Fig. 5, Table 3)." (p. 196)

      "Storing seeds at 5C considerably slowed the loss of viability of seeds dried under 81% RH, and after 1 year of storage, almost half of the initial viability was maintained, regardless of the rehydration procedure employed (Fig. 5, Table 3)." (p. 196)

      "By contrast, the percentage of seedlings recovered from seeds stored at 5C after drying under 45% RH was significantly influenced by the rehydration procedure, and pre-humidifying seeds for 24 h or pre-heating seeds in a 40C water bath increased seed viability from 39 to 80% (Table 3)." (p. 196)

      "The initial WC of seeds of the seed lot 2003 was 0.49 g H2O g1 DW." (p. 198)

      "According to our work, the apparent decrease in longevity of seeds stored at low RH and temperature is due to imbibitional damage. Indeed, we have observed that after drying under 45% RH and storage at 5C for 1 year, the percentage of seedling recovery was 40% only if seeds were rapidly rehydrated, but viability did not decrease when seeds were pre-heated or pre-humidified before germination." (p. 199)

      "We have not only shown the importance of the rehydration procedure after storage at 5C but also that decreasing the storage temperature slows down all the deteriorative processes observed at 20C, i.e. lipid hydrolysis, oxidative stress and PL loss." (p. 199)

      "The water potential boundaries of this interval were estimated to be5 and15 MPa, i.e. in equilibrium with 90 and 97% RH at 25C, respectively (Walters et al. 2001)." (p. 202)

      "This assumption is in accordance with our results in coffee that the reduction of the antioxidant pool during drying was independent of the final hydration level and that the primary oxidative stress occurred when seeds crossed the interval of hydration levels where ROS are produced." (p. 202)

      "Therefore, the most likely explanation for oxidative stress continuing at 81% RH is the occurrence of free radical-based chain reactions, initiated at higher hydration levels. In coffee seeds, drying seeds under 45% RH lowered or even stopped these chain reactions." (p. 202)

      "None of the physiological parameters studied changed significantly at RH< 23%, the point at which coffee seeds lose their viability. However, seed prehumidification before sowing dramatically increased the level of desiccation tolerance of seeds between 23 and 40% RH, suggesting a pivotal role for the physical state of the membrane (Hoekstra and van der Wal 1988) within this interval of hydration levels." (p. 203)

      "It is then possible that desiccation injury in coffee seeds was associated with irreversible structural changes, such as demixing and the formation of non-lamellar domains in membranes, which could not be detected by the experimental approach employed in the present study because they do not necessarily lead to changes in the biochemical composition of the cell components." (p. 203)

    • From Dussert et al 2003:

      Osmoconditioning was carried out at 25 C in the dark by placing batches of 12–13 seeds in sealed Petri dishes on a thin layer of cotton wool imbibed with 20 ml aqueous 1.25 MPa PEG 6000 solution for 3 weeks as previously described (Dussert et al. 2000).

      Pre-heating consisted of soaking seeds in a 40 C water bath for 4 h.

      Pre-humidification was carried out by placing seeds in water-saturated air at 25 or 37 C (warm pre-humidification) for 24 or 48 h.

    Abstract Two hypotheses, namely the occurrence of post-thaw oxidative stress or imbibitional damage, were tested to explain the high sensitivity of coffee seeds to liquid nitrogen (LN) exposure. Oxidative stress was studied by measuring primary and secondary products of lipid peroxidation in seeds during the desiccation and rehydration periods. The 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) content of seeds remained constant throughout the desiccation step. No significant difference was observed between desiccated seeds and seeds desiccated and exposed to LN for the evolution of their 4-HNE and hydroperoxide contents during rehydration. In both cases, an increase in 4-HNE and hydroperoxide contents of seeds was observed during the first hours of culture under germination conditions, followed by a progressive decrease down to values comparable to those observed in desiccated seeds. The hydroperoxide composition of frozen seeds was not significantly different from that of control seeds. The (S)/(R) enantiomeric ratios of 9- and 13-hydroxy-octadecadienoic acid extracted from rehydrating seeds were chiral, suggesting that they originated from lipoxygenase activity. These results suggest that the high sensitivity of coffee seeds to LN exposure is not directly associated with the occurrence of an oxidative stress during post-thaw rehydration. The effect on seed viability of different rehydration procedures previously identified to reduce membrane imbibitional injury was studied after desiccation and LN exposure. Desiccation tolerance increased with, by increasing order, seed osmoconditioning, pre-heating and pre-humidifying prior to their culture under germination conditions. Among the four combinations of pre-humidification durations (24 or 48 h) and temperatures (25 or 37°C) tested, pre-humidification for 24 h at 37°C gave the highest level of desiccation tolerance. This rehydration procedure also dramatically increased seed viability after LN exposure. Seed desiccation sensitivity modelling in combination with the calculation of the decrease in seed water activity during cooling facilitated the explanation of the beneficial effect of controlled rehydration after desiccation and LN exposure. These results support the hypothesis that imbibitional membrane damage is involved in the sensitivity of coffee seeds to LN exposure.

    Abstract The effect of exposure to ultra-low temperature (liquid nitrogen, LN) on viability of seeds desiccated to various water contents was investigated in 9 coffee species. Three groups of species could be distinguished based on seed survival after LN exposure. In group 1 species, no seedling production could be obtained after LN exposure due to endosperm injury. In group 2 species, recovery was very low or nil after rapid cooling, and only moderate after slow cooling. In group 3 species, very high percentages of seedling development were observed after both rapid and slow cooling. A high interspecific variability for the high moisture freezing limit was observed within the species of groups 2 and 3, since it ranged from 0.14 to 0.26 g H2O g−1 dry weight. A very highly significant correlation was found for those species between the unfreezable water content, as determined from DSC analysis, and the high moisture freezing limit of their seeds. No significant correlation was found between seed lipid content, which varied from 9.8 to 34.6% dry weight, and survival after LN exposure. However, a negative relationship was found between seed unfreezable water content and lipid content. Interspecific differences in fatty acid composition of seed lipids resulted in a high variability in the percentage of unsaturated fatty acids, which ranged from 28.7 to 54.4% among the 9 species studied. For all species studied, a highly significant correlation was found between the percentage of unsaturated fatty acids and the percentage of seedling recovery after rapid or slow cooling.

Don. were provided from the field collections of CNRA-IRD, Divo and IRD, Man, Cote-d'Ivoire." (p. 496)

      "Before desiccation treatments, seed lots were stored in the dark at ambient temperature for 1 - 2 weeks." (p. 496)

      "After the testa (endocarp) was removed, seeds were desiccated by equilibration for 3 weeks at 25°C over various saturated salt solutions, as previously described by Dussert et al. (1999)." (p. 496)

      "Seed culture was carried out according to the method described by Dussert et al. (1998)." (p. 496)

      "Three groups of species could be distinguished as regards seedling recovery after LN exposure (Table 1). In species of the first group, C. breipes, C. canephora, C. liberica and C. stenophylla, no seed germination, and consequently, no seedling production, could be obtained after LN exposure, independently of the seed water content and of the cooling procedure." (p. 497)

      "With the five coffee species for which seedling recovery was achieved after seed LN exposure, the HMFL value coincided with that of the unfreezable water content, indicating that seeds of those species were not able to withstand intracellular ice formation during the freezing/thawing process." (p. 502)

      "However, from these few studies, it can be established that some seed materials can withstand the presence of some freezable water during exposure to sub-freezing temperatures, while others can not." (p. 502)

      "At least two possibilities, which may not be mutually exclusive, can be proposed to explain the low survival after LN exposure observed in C. arabica, C. canephora and C. eugenioides at water contents where no more freezable water is present in seed tissues and where no desiccation damage was detected: (1) some of the cooling, thawing, and postthawing conditions were sub-optimal; (2) desiccation sensitivity as quantified at room temperature in terms of water content was not the real lower limit of the hydration window for LN exposure." (p. 503)

      "Therefore, the prediction of the existence of an hydration window for LN exposure in non-orthodox oily seeds should not be done by the comparison of the unfreezable water content with the critical water content for desiccation sensitivity as measured at room temperature, but by comparing the critical water activity for desiccation damage, measured at room temperature, to the calculated water activity at LN temperature of seeds desiccated to the unfreezable water content." (p. 503)

      "The unfreezable water content in coffee species was found to be negatively correlated to seed lipid content." (p. 503)

    Abstract Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) seeds are sensitive to desiccation and oxidative stress during drying processes. We investigated the effect of drying and moisture levels on germination-related gene expressions associated with enzymatic systems that prevent oxidative stress in coffee seeds. Coffee seeds collected at physiological maturity were subjected to slow and quick drying to 40, 30, 20, and 12% moisture levels (wet basis), and as the control, seeds without drying were used. The seeds' physiological quality was calculated as percentage of normal seedlings at 15 and 30 days, normal vigorous seedlings at 30 days, and cotyledonary leaves at 45 days. The isoenzymes esterase, catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), and endo-β-mannanase expressions were electrophoretically analyzed. CAT and POX expressions were analyzed using RT-qPCR with specific primers constructed from the target gene sequences from the Brazilian Coffee Genome Database. Slow drying showed better physiological quality for seeds at 40 and 12% moisture levels, while quick drying was the most effective for seeds with 20% moisture. Sensitivity to water loss was confirmed by quick drying and activation of enzymes. CAT and POX transcriptions reduced during drying. RT-qPCR revealed a complex gene-expression pattern during the oxidative process, with high gene expression in wet seeds.

    Abstract Coffee is the most consumed processed beverage aside from water, and green coffee beans are the most traded agriculture commodity after petroleum in the world. The agricultural production of green coffee beans and consumption of coffee have been increasing by 17% and 2% at an annual rate during the previous decades, respectively. The credit of increasing coffee production and consumption goes to its alluring organoleptic characteristics. The organoleptic or final cup quality characteristic of coffee is a multifactorial and complex trait, and both agricultural and postharvest processing factors influence this multifaceted trait significantly. Agroproduction technology of coffee influences 40% cup quality attributes of coffee beverage, whereas remaining 60% quality attributes are determined by postharvest processing technology. In this chapter, the relationship of organoleptic or final cup quality attributes with agricultural and environmental factors was reviewed. The analysis focused on how these factors affect the physical quality attributes of coffee beans in addition to the biochemical cup quality attributes. An overview of agricultural and environmental factors of coffee identified a critical impact of these factors in determining the physical and biochemical cup quality attributes. Geographical topography (especially altitude, slope of attitude, its steepness) was found to be the major element which also dictated the scope of influence of subsequent agricultural and environmental factors. Coffee verities or genetics, rainfall, frost, temperature, soil fertilization status, sun and shade ecosystems, and harvesting strategies played a decisive role in shaping not only the final physical and biochemical cup quality attributes but also in postharvest processing approaches. Each coffee variety (both C. arabica and C. robusta) is specified to a specific region with a set of its own inherent quality characteristics which played an important role in the production of certified specialty, organic, or other same kind of coffees. Moreover, there are still some bottlenecks that need to be addressed in order to fully understand the critical relationship of agricultural and environmental factors with final physical and biochemical cup quality attributes.

    Abstract Photoperiod length induces in temperate plants major changes in growth rates, morphology and metabolism with, for example, modifications in the partitioning of photosynthates to avoid starvation at the end of long nights. However, this has never been studied for a tropical perennial species adapted to grow in a natural photoperiod close to 12 h/12 h all year long.We grew Coffea arabica L., an understorey perennial evergreen tropical species in its natural 12 h/12 h and in a short 8 h/16 h photoperiod, and we investigated its responses at the physiological, metabolic and transcriptomic levels. The expression pattern of rhythmic genes, including core clock genes, was affected by changes in photoperiod. Overall, we identified 2859 rhythmic genes, of which 89% were also rhythmic in Arabidopsis thaliana L. Under short-days, plant growth was reduced, and leaves were thinner with lower chlorophyll content. In addition, secondary metabolism was also affected with chlorogenic acid and epicatechin levels decreasing, and in agreement, the genes involved in lignin synthesis were overexpressed and those involved in the flavanol pathway were underexpressed.Our results show that the 8 h/16 h photoperiod induces drastic changes in morphology, metabolites and gene expression, and the responses for gene expression are similar to those observed in the temperate annual A. thaliana species.Short photoperiod induces drastic changes in gene expression, metabolites and leaf structure, some of these responses being similar to those observed in A. thaliana.

    Abstract O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar alterações fisiológicas e bioquímicas em sementes de café submetidas à secagem rápida, em sílica gel, e à secagem lenta, em soluções salinas saturadas. As sementes foram secas até que atingissem os seguintes teores de água: 40, 30, 20, 15, 10 e 5% (base úmida). Após a secagem, uma parte das sementes foi imediatamente avaliada quanto ao desempenho fisiológico e ao perfil de enzimas do processo oxidativo, e outra parte foi avaliada após armazenagem em condição hermética, em câmara fria e seca, por quatro meses. A velocidade de secagem e o teor final de água tiveram efeito significativo sobre a qualidade fisiológica das sementes. Após a secagem rápida em sílica gel, as sementes toleraram teores finais de água mais baixos. No entanto, após a secagem lenta, as sementes com teores finais de água mais elevados apresentaram maior qualidade. O período de armazenamento não afetou a germinação, mas prejudicou o vigor das sementes. A secagem rápida apresenta maior potencial de dano ao endosperma do que aos embriões. O perfil enzimático das sementes de café é afetado pelo teor final de água e pela velocidade de secagem.

    Abstract Water extracts of coffee seeds of various ages were analyzed in positive ion mode by extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EESI-MS) without any sample pretreatment, and the typical metabolites were identified by tandem mass spectrometry. Further assessment using principal component analysis (PCA), cluster analysis (CA), and discriminant analysis (DA) demonstrated that a combination of EESI-MS and multivariate analysis could effectively distinguish coffee seeds with different vigor. In PCA, the first three principal components explained 99.3% of the total variation, and coffee seeds with the same vigor were clustered closely together in CA with an accuracy of 100%. In DA, both the accuracy rate of discrimination of the training samples and the success rate of cross validation analysis were 100%. We concluded that coffee seeds with diverse vigor could be differentiated by EESI-MS coupled with multivariate analysis, providing a novel, sensitive, and rapid measurement of seed vigor in coffee.

    Abstract The endo-?-mannanase acts on the hemicellulose fraction of the endosperm cell walls, mainly mannans and galactomannans. This process weakens cell walls and allows radicle protrusion during seed germination, but may also occur during the deterioration process. Thus, the aim of this research was to determine the activity of endo-?-mannanase enzyme in dry coffee seeds and in soaked seeds, evaluating its relationship between physiological qualities. Coffee seeds obtained by different processing methods (natural, fermented and demucilated) and drying (sun, shade and dryer) were used. Seed quality was evaluated by germination and tetrazolium tests, and the endo-?-mannanase enzyme activity was determined in dry seeds and after 10 days of soaking. From the results, it was concluded that there is significant inverse relationship between the physiological quality of coffee seeds and the expression of endo-?-mannanase, and seeds with lower percentages of germination and viability of embryos have a higher activity of the enzyme. After ten days of soaking, coffee seeds had higher expression of endo-?-mannanase as compared to the dry seeds for all treatments of fruit processing and drying.

    Abstract The relationships among water content, relative humidity and temperature were documented in both seeds and excised embryos of Coffea spp. using water sorption isotherms. Isotherms were constructed at 5, 15 and 25°C and calculated for lower temperatures. There were no apparent differences in sorption characteristics among whole seeds of several cultivars of C. arabica and among different species of Coffea. Excised embryos of genetically diverse Coffea germplasm also exhibited similar sorption characteristics, though there were substantial differences observed between embryos and whole seeds. The shape of isotherms of coffee seed tissues was intermediate to the reverse sigmoidal shape observed for orthodox seeds and the monotonic shape observed for desiccation intolerant plant tissues. The heats of sorption calculated for RH ≤ 25% for whole seeds of Coffea spp. were similar to orthodox seeds. In contrast, the heats of sorption calculated in the same RH range for excised embryos were intermediate between those of orthodox and recalcitrant embryos. Our observations are consistent with earlier observations that desiccation sensitivity or poor longevity is linked with low levels of water sorption at relative humidities less than 25%. An explanation for this remains elusive.

    Abstract Seeds of four cultivars of arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) received from three continents survived desiccation to between 7-2% and 11-3% moisture content (wet basis), i.e. to seed water potentials of –90 MPa to –150 MPa, but further desiccation reduced germination (criterion, normal seedling development) in all seed lots. Only a few individuals from four of the lots germinated after being dried to 4–5% moisture content. Differences in desiccation sensitivity were apparent among lots within each cultivar. Desiccation sensitivity in these lots was similar to that observed in seeds of orthodox species which have begun to germinate. Seeds extracted from fruits of intermediate maturity (yellow) were able to tolerate greater desiccation than those from either ripe (red) or immature (green) fruits. Imbibed storage increased desiccation sensitivity. The results are compatible with the view that arabica coffee seeds are unable to tolerate extreme desiccation because germination has been initiated before harvest.

    Abstract The genetic determinism of seed desiccation sensitivity was studied using a cross between two coffee species exhibiting a large difference for this trait, Coffea pseudozanguebariae (tolerant) and C. liberica (sensitive). Throughout the whole study, seed desiccation tolerance was quantified both in terms of water content and water activity. Whatever the parameter used, the level of seed desiccation tolerance in F1 hybrids corresponded to that of the mid-parent, thus indicating an additive inheritance of seed desiccation tolerance at the F1 level. A broad variation was observed among hybrids backcrossed to C. liberica (BCs) for seed desiccation tolerance, independent of the parameter used to quantify it. This variation was continuous and BCs showed transgression in the direction of the most desiccation sensitive parent, indicating (i) that desiccation tolerance is a polygenic trait in coffee species, and (ii) that C. pseudozanguebariae does not present the most favourable alleles for all the genes involved in seed desiccation tolerance. No significant difference was observed between the two reciprocal backcrosses, F1×C. liberica and C. liberica×F1, for the level of desiccation tolerance of their seeds, showing the absence of a maternal effect on this trait. There was no significant effect of the number of seeds harvested from each BC on the level of desiccation tolerance of its seeds. Moreover, there was no significant correlation within BCs between seed size, seed viability, and water content before desiccation and desiccation tolerance.

    Abstract During coffee drying, different temperatures applied to the beans with varied humidity content levels can interfere in the membranes integrity, germination, organic acid and carbohydrate content resulting in coffees with distinct flavors. The quality control of the beans will be much more effective the earlier the alterations provoked in the postharvest are detected. This work has an objective to study alternative methods for the dehydration o f the coffee beans using ultra-drying followed by slow drying and its impact on the sensorial quality, chemical composition and physiology. For that purpose, coffee lots were processed by the methods, dry (natural coffee) and wet (fully washed coffee); and sun-dried and machine-dried at a constant 60°C temperature and alternating 60/40°C. The sensory quality of the samples was assessed by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) analysis protocol. The sugar, total titratable acidity and the phenolic compound content was also analyzed. The physiological alterations of the coffee beans were analyzed by germination tests, emergence speed index, electrical conductivity and potassium leaching. The temperature of the drying air significantly altered the sensorial quality of the coffee beans. The processing way associated to drying methods causes many physiological alterations with the highest damage observed in the natural coffees. For the first time, we are showing that drying with heated air at 60/40ºC is promising for the fully washed coffee beans, which are more tolerant to dehydration than the natural coffee beans. Conversely, the natural coffee beans were much more sensitive to drying regardless the temperature, with very low performance in the physiological analyses. The drying at the constant 60ºC temperature is inappropriate for the natural coffee as well as for the fully washed coffee beans. In addition, the physiological tests used were shown effective for the early evaluation of coffee beans quality.

      "There are two processing methods used for the preparation of the coffee: the dry and the wet. In the dry processing, the whole or intact fruits are submitted to drying, without the removal of the exocarp (outer skin), resulting in the natural coffees. In the wet processing, the exocarp of the fruit is removed, creating three types of coffee: the peeled cherry coffee obtained after the peeling and drying of the beans, the remaining mucilage staying adhered to the parchment; the fully washed coffee, produced from the peeling of the fruits and removal of the mucilage by fermentation; and the demucilaged coffee, whose mucilage is removed mechanically." (p. 1458)

      "The experiment was conducted with handpicked ripe coffee fruits of Catuaí Vermelho IAC 99 (Arabic Coffea L. cv.). The fruits were washed and separated by density, eliminating the float portion formed by light, hollow, bored or poorly grained fruit. To guarantee the uniformity of the raw material, new manual selection was carried out in the portion of ripe fruits, eliminating all of the immature and over-ripe fruits still present, remaining only the fruits at the cherry stage." (p. 1459)

      "The cherry coffee was processed by dry and wet methods and dried under three different conditions: on an asphalt patio, in a hot air dryer at a constant 60°C temperature and in dryer with air heated to an alternating 60/40°C temperature." (p. 1459)

      "In the dry processing of the coffee samples, the ripe fruits were dried with the exocarp intact, obtaining the natural coffee. In the wet processing, the coffee was mechanically peeled and depulped by natural fermentation in water for approximately 20 h, under ambient conditions at an average temperature of 22°C." (p. 1459)

      "Patio drying: After the processing, the coffee was taken for drying on the patio, where it remained under ambient conditions and was managed according to the procedures proposed by (Borém," (p. 1459)

      "2008). The control treatment portions remained on the patio until they reach a moisture content of 11% (w.b.), for the natural coffee as well as for the fully washed coffee samples." (p. 1459)

      "Drying in mechanical dryer: To minimize the differences in the initial moisture level in the hot air drying, the portions destined for mechanical drying passed through a two day pre-drying period on the patio for the natural coffee, and one day for the fully washed coffee samples. After the pre-drying period, the portions were taken to the 0.15 m fixed bed dryer (Figure 1) coupled to a highprecision air conditioner, according to the model proposed by Fortes et al. (2006), which allows for the precise control of the air flow, temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) of the drying air." (p. 1459)

      "The air flow was maintained at 20 m³.min-1.m-2, normal values for the commercial coffee dryer models. To maintain the same drying conditions during the whole experiment, independently of the climatic variations, the temperature and relative humidity values of the air were controlled and maintained constant, observing a relative humidity of 7% for the hot air at 60°C and 21% for the hot air at 40°C." (p. 1459)

      "The portion that received the 60°C hot air treatment remained in the dryer until the coffee reached a moisture content of 11% ± 0.5% (wb). The portion that received the 60/40°C hot air treatment was dried at 60°C until the beans reach 30% (wb) moisture followed by drying with 40°C air until reaching 11% (wb)." (p. 1459)

      "To determine the air temperature transition point from 60 to 40°C, each drawer, containing the experimental portion, was weighed every 30 min. When each drawer reached the mass relative to a 30% ± 2% (wb) moisture content, the temperature was changed from 60 to 40°C, remaining at 40°C until the coffee reached 11% (wb)." (p. 1459)

      "Germination test: The germination test was conducted with four subsamples of 50 seeds without parchment, distributed on a paper towel moistened with an amount of water equal to two and a half times the substrate dry mass, and placed to germinate at a temperature of 30ºC." (p. 1460)

      "Four subsamples of 50 seeds were sowed in plastic trays containing a 2:1 mixture of sand and soil. The trays were maintained in a growth chamber, previously regulated to a temperature of 30°C, under an alternating regime of light and darkness (12 h)" (p. 1460)

      "Significantly lower values for root protrusion, germination, emergence, ESI and open cotiledonary leaves were observed in the natural coffee, indicating that the processing form exposes the beans to more intense physiological damage than the fully washed coffees during the drying." (p. 1462)

      "In spite of there being a small percentage of root protrusion in the natural coffee drying treatments at 60/40°C and 60°C, the germination, emergence, ESI and open cotiledonary leaves had drastic reduction indicating that the seeds were already dead or in an advanced deterioration process." (p. 1462)

      "Conversely, the root protrusion and ESI results for the fully washed coffee dried at 60/40°C did not differ significantly from the sun-dried fully washed coffee. Furthermore, the germination, emergence and open cotiledonary leaf values were significantly superior to the values observed in the coffees dried with hot air at 60°C." (p. 1462)

      "On the other hand, the use of high temperatures, when the beans had a humidity level above 30%, followed by the reduction of the air drying temperature to 40°C, resulted in less intense moisture removal rates, favoring the coffee quality compared to the continuous use of high temperatures." (p. 1463)

      "The physiological analyses indicated that as the drying conditions became more severe, the damage to the beans also increased, showing that the processing by the wet method and sun-drying were the treatments that favored a better preservation of the beans integrity." (p. 1464)

      "The root protrusion and germination results for the fully washed coffee dried under alternate temperature of 60/40°C indicate that the beans were in good physiological conditions in way similar to the fully washed sun-dried coffee." (p. 1464)

      "The germination and emergence tests presented solid results and they proved that the combination of treatments that provides the best physiological quality is the wet processing and the sundrying." (p. 1464)

      "The use of high drying temperatures for the coffee allows a fast removal of moisture from the beans, however it can provoke very large differences between the moisture level of the external part and the centre of the bean, generating a high pressure gradient, which can cause ruptures and cracks within the beans, besides possible thermal damage." (p. 1464)

      "The increase of the drying temperature causes damage to coffee beans cell membrane system, increasing the electrical conductivity of the bean exudates (Borém et al., 2008a; Coradi et al., 2007)." (p. 1464)

      "In this work, it can be observed that the depulped and machine-dried coffees presented lower electrical conductivity values than the natural coffees, allowing to infer that the damage in the cell membranes was less intense in the depulped coffees." (p. 1464)

      "The high moisture removal rate, provoked by the high temperature at the beginning of the drying in the 60/40°C treatment, might have been harmful to the physiological integrity of the beans." (p. 1464)

      "These results are coherent with those obtained in the chemical analyses and in the sensorial analyses, indicating that the physiological analyses constitute promising tools for evaluation of coffee quality." (p. 1464)

      "The sun-drying provided coffee beans with the best physiological performance and the best drink quality. However, the fully washed coffees presented better physiological performance than the natural coffees, regardless the drying method." (p. 1465)

    Abstract The chemical composition of green coffee and thus the final coffee quality are specifically determined by the mode of post-harvest treatment, i.e. the wet and dry processing. Recently, it was shown that metabolic processes, i.e. germination and, a slightly delayed stress-related metabolism are executed during the course of processing. The specific ambient conditions of either post-harvest treatment may influence differentially the extent and time course of these metabolic reactions; therefore, the incidence and intensity of germination processes in coffee seeds were analysed during processing.Expression of the germination-specific isocitrate lyase was monitored using competitive RT-PCRs analyses. Resumption of cell cycle activity and cell division were determined by flow cytometry, as well as by the abundance of β-tubulin quantified by Western blot analyses.The extent and the time courses of germination processes in coffee seeds differed significantly between wet and dry processed beans. The highest germination activity occurred 2 d after the onset of wet processing, whereas the corresponding maximum in the course of dry processing appeared about 1 week after the start of post harvest treatment.As recently shown, there are specific differences in the chemical composition of differentially processed coffee beans. It is concluded that these substantial differences are the consequence of the differential expression of germination processes, i.e. they are the result of differences in the corresponding metabolic activities. The coherence of germination-related metabolism and of expression-specific coffee qualities establishes the basis for a novel approach in coffee research.

      "The experimental processings were performed using coffee cherries (Coffea arabica L., 'Acaia') that had been shipped from Brazil by air to the laboratory of the Institute for Plant Biology, TU Braunschweig." (p. 62)

      "For this, mature and sound coffee fruits were transferred directly after harvesting into Styrofoam boxes equipped with some ordinary ice bags. This procedure did not affect viability or germination capacity. The fruits arrived not later than 36 h after harvest and were used for the laboratory processing experiments." (p. 62)

      "The procedures applied corresponded to the conditions in processing factories in the green coffeeproducing countries." (p. 62)

      "For wet processing, the fruits were manually de-pulped and the mucilaginous parchment beans were transferred into 5-L Erlenmeyer flasks adding an excess of fresh water. The coffee was fermented under the ambient conditions of the laboratory (218C) for 36 h during which the water was changed three times. The resulting parchment coffee was dried in a laboratory drying oven at 35 - 408C until the desired water content of 12 % (wet basis) was achieved. The beans were then manually de-hulled." (p. 62)

      "For dry processing, the mature coffee cherries were dried in a laboratory drying oven at temperatures of 35 - 408C until the desired water content of 12 % (wet basis) was achieved. The beans were then manually de-husked." (p. 62)

      "These analyses revealed that ICL is expressed in coffee seeds during the course of wet processing as well as during dry processing. However, the corresponding time frames of expression were quite different. Whereas in the course of wet processing, maximal expression occurred only 2 d after the start of post-harvest treatment (Fig. 1A), in dry-processed coffee seeds the highest transcription level was detected about 1 week after the commencement of processing (Fig. 1B)." (p. 63)

      "In wet-processed seeds, the highest b-tubulin accumulation was detected 2 d after the start of treatment (Fig. 2A), corresponding to the first day of drying of the parchment coffee. In contrast, during dry processing, the strongest signals were detected 6 d after initiation of processing, albeit at comparable maximum levels as in the wet-processed seeds." (p. 63)

      "The hypothesis that the differences in differentially processed coffees are a consequence of differences in the metabolic status of seeds (Selmar et al., 2002) was confirmed by the present work." (p. 64)

      "The transient increase of ICL expression during wet processing reflected the onset of germination as a consequence of the removal of the pulp. However, an increase in enzyme expression was also observed in dry processed seeds, i.e. without removal of the covering structures. In this case, the increase started later but reached about the same maximum level." (p. 64)

      "Either the presence of potential inhibiting factor in the fruit tissue, or the relatively lower moisture level of the seeds, seem to retard ICL transcription relative to the fully imbibed seeds during wet processing." (p. 64)

      "At first sight, it was surprising that various analyses of fresh coffee seeds also revealed minor ICL signals," (p. 64)

      "although germination should not yet have been unlocked in these fruits. In this context, it should be pointed out that those samples classified as untreated, fresh fruits could not be analysed earlier than 36 h after harvest in the plantation in Brazil - i.e. the time needed for the cooled transport to the laboratory in Germany. In contrast, coffee fruits that were harvested in the greenhouse in Braunschweig could immediately be shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen. These samples did frequently exhibit negligible or not even detectable ICL signals (data not presented)." (p. 65)

      "This again indicates that picking of the coffee fruit is enough to initiate ICL transcription." (p. 65)

      "In the same article, those authors showed that aerobic incubation of milled coffee bean tissue triggers the fragmentation or digestion of the 11S seed storage protein and the release of free amino acids. Interestingly, degradation of the 11S storage protein is one of the markers for seed priming and germination, e.g. with sugar beet (Job et al., 1997)." (p. 65)

      "It has been clearly established that coffee seeds undergo a germination-related metabolism during processing and that the extent of this metabolism strongly depends on the mode of post-harvest treatment." (p. 65)

    Abstract Considering the worldwide consumption of coffee, it is natural that throughout the history many people have dedicated the research to markers that contribute somehow on gauging its quality. This research aimed to evaluate the biochemical performance of arabica coffee during storage. Coffee in beans (natural) and in parchment (pulped) dried in concrete terrace and in dryer with heated air were packed in jute bags and stored in not controlled environmental conditions. Enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, polyphenoloxidase, esterase and lipoxygenase in coffee grains were evaluated at zero, three, six, nine and twelve months by means of electrophoresis. Independently of the drying method, the activity of isoenzymatic complexes highlighted deteriorative processes in stored grains of coffee. The treatments 60/40º C and 60º C used to reduce the water content imposed a greater stress condition, accelerated metabolism of natural coffee in the storage with decreased activity of defense mechanisms due to latent damage in these grains. Natural coffees are more sensible to high drying temperatures and its quality reduces faster than pulped coffee in the storage.

    Abstract When green coffee is stored for a prolonged time the coffee quality decreases distinctively. Apart from well-known ‘off-notes’ that arise from undesired oxidations of lipids, a typical ‘flattening’ of the cup quality is detectable. In order to elucidate the biological causes for this phenomenon, differentially processed coffees (wet, dry, semi-dry processing), were stored under standard conditions for 2 years and analysed comprehensively.Wet-processed coffee was stored either as parchment coffee, where the endocarp remained around the beans or as hulled beans. Viability of coffee seeds was estimated using the tetrazolium-test of seed viability. Changes in concentration of free amino acids and soluble carbohydrates were analysed by HPLC.Whereas all other coffees lost viability within the first 6 months of storage, coffee beans stored within the parchment remained viable for &gt;1 year. Glucose and fructose decreased slightly in the course of storage and glutamine content declined significantly. However, the changes observed in sugar and amino acid content were not correlated with the viability of the coffee beans. Consequently, neither typical metabolic reactions occurring within living cells nor characteristic post-mortem reactions could be responsible for the observed changes. As a result of post-mortem reactions in re-imbibed seeds, a characteristic bluish-green colour developed, putatively due to the oxidation of chlorogenic acids and subsequent reactions with primary amino compounds. This coloration might be an appropriate marker to substantiate if coffee seeds had been stored for an expanded time and putative quality losses were not relevant so far.It is suggested that loss of viability is relevant for the aroma flattening. As neither metabolic nor post-mortem reactions were responsible for the observed changes, it is concluded that Maillard reactions that occur during storage might be the cause of the decrease in potential aroma precursors.

      "Defined green coffee samples were produced under carefully controlled processings at the facilities of Ipanema Agricola Ltda, Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. For these sample processings, only sound and fully mature red coffee fruits of C. arabica var. acaia were used." (p. 32)

      "In order to use truly 'identical samples' for each type of processing, the mature, red and sound fruits, which were used for dry processing, were obtained by careful manual sorting, an operation which in the case of wet processing is performed by flotation based sorting steps and the depulping machine that rejects the green unripe coffee cherries. Subsequently, the dried fruits were mechanically hulled." (p. 32)

      "Coffee samples were sent by airfreight to the laboratory in Braunschweig within 4 weeks of field processing." (p. 32)

      "Wet processing. Coffee fruits were mechanically depulped using a Pinhalense drum pulper, and submitted to 22 h of under-water tank fermentation. Subsequently, the washed parchment coffee beans were dried on separate plots of a sun terrace. The desired water content of 11 - 12 % (wet basis) was achieved after 6 d. About half of the material was mechanically hulled; the other half remained as unhusked parchment coffee." (p. 32)

      "Semi-dry processing. This method consists of a shortened wet processing sequence, in which the fermentation step to remove the mucilaginous residues of the pulp is omitted. Depulped coffee beans from the same batch used for the wet processing were transferred immediately after depulping to a sun terrace and dried to the desired water content of 11 - 12 % (wet basis), before the material was mechanically hulled." (p. 32)

      "Dry processing. Coffee cherries from the same batch as above were dried as whole fruits on a sun terrace until they reached the desired water content of 11 - 12 % (wet basis)." (p. 32)

      "The hermetic storage of green coffee was performed in two large glass-boxes (200 L) under constant conditions [228C and 63 % relative humidity (rh)] for up to 2 years." (p. 32)

      "To ensure that the desired rh was maintained, samples were stored above vessels containing saturated (NH4)2NO3 solution according to Vertucci and Roos (1993)." (p. 32)

      "At selected times (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13, 18 and 24 months), one bag of each treatment was withdrawn, corresponding to 12 samples for each date." (p. 32)

      "Changes in the viability of green coffee seed samples were estimated by the common triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) test (Dias and da Silva, 1986)." (p. 32)

      "In all samples that were hulled prior to storage,.50 % of the seeds lost viability within the first 3 months of storage. After 6 months, the fraction of seeds still viable was,10 %. After 1 year of storage, all seeds were dead (Fig. 2). The mode of processing had no effect on the time course of viability loss." (p. 33)

      "Even after a longer storage period than 1" (p. 33)

      "year, more than half of the beans stored as parchment coffee were still alive (Fig. 2)." (p. 34)

      "Under natural conditions, within dried and slowly rotting fruits, coffee seeds retain their viability for longer than 6 months (Velasco and Guitierrez, 1974; Rojas, 2004) and by applying special storage conditions for each crop, coffee seeds can remain viable even for a longer time period." (p. 34)

      "Consequently, the much longer period of viability under natural conditions or for breeding purpose is explained by the significantly greater water potential in the seeds (Valio, 1976; Van der Vossen, 1980)." (p. 34)

      "This does not, however, explain the differences in viability between parchment coffees and those hulled prior to storage: all samples had the same residual water content of 11.5 %." (p. 34)

      "However, as the parchment represents a dead and relatively dry sclerenchymatic tissue, there should be no major diffusion barriers for any of the gases present around the seeds, i.e. CO2, O2 or H2O (Wootton, 1970; Valio, 1980)." (p. 34)

      "Alternatively, the reason for the different behaviour of the differentially treated seeds could be mechanical stress during the course of the hulling process." (p. 34)

      "However, the hulling of the wetprocessed parchment coffee and the husking procedure of dry-processed coffee fruits make up quite different mechanical stresses, and yet both wetand dry-processed seeds are identical with respect to loss of seed viability." (p. 34)

      "To estimate the germination rate of coffee seeds that had been stored for various time periods, coffee beans were soaked for 12 h in water and subsequently transferred onto moist filter paper." (p. 34)

      "During imbibition by dead seeds, many, mainly brownish substances leaked out, due to the disintegration and decompartmentation of the seeds. In contrast, imbibition of seeds" (p. 34)

      "hat had been dead for only a few days or weeks resulted in a quite different picture: 2 - 3 d after imbibition, the dead seeds had acquired a dark blue-green colour (Fig. 3A)." (p. 34)

      "As mentioned above, the formation of the blue-green compounds only took place in seeds that died within a short time period preceding evaluation. However, in seeds that had lost viability several months before" (p. 34)

      "imbibition, these oxidation-induced processes could not observed, although in all cases the tissues of the dead seeds would have disintegrated." (p. 35)

      "The major outcome of this work is the finding that green coffee beans that are stored within the parchment ( pergamino) remain viable far longer than hulled beans and that this maintenance of viability apparently has a positive effect on the preservation of green coffee quality during prolonged storage." (p. 37)

      "In addition, gradual decreases in the content of various sugars, notably glucose and fructose, and some amino acids were not correlated with the gradual loss of viability. Thus, the gradual flattening of the aroma during prolonged storage may be correlated with loss of viability and not with changes in the composition of sugars and amino acids." (p. 37)

      "To preserve the quality of green coffee, storage of wet-processed arabica coffees within parchment is recommended. Even shipping of green coffee as parchment coffee should be considered, although this would mean that the dry mills for hulling and sorting must be available in the destination countries." (p. 38)

    Abstract • The genomic era facilitates the understanding of how transcriptional networks are interconnected to program seed development and filling. However, to date, little information is available regarding dicot seeds with a transient perisperm and a persistent, copious endosperm. Coffea arabica is the subject of increasing genomic research and is a model for nonorthodox albuminous dicot seeds of tropical origin. • The aim of this study was to reconstruct the metabolic pathways involved in the biosynthesis of the main coffee seed storage compounds, namely cell wall polysaccharides, triacylglycerols, sucrose, and chlorogenic acids. For this purpose, we integrated transcriptomic and metabolite analyses, combining real-time RT-PCR performed on 137 selected genes (of which 79 were uncharacterized in Coffea) and metabolite profiling. • Our map-drawing approach derived from model plants enabled us to propose a rationale for the peculiar traits of the coffee endosperm, such as its unusual fatty acid composition, remarkable accumulation of chlorogenic acid and cell wall polysaccharides. • Comparison with the developmental features of exalbuminous seeds described in the literature revealed that the two seed types share important regulatory mechanisms for reserve biosynthesis, independent of the origin and ploidy level of the storage tissue.

    Abstract Large differences in seed desiccation sensitivity have been observed previously among ten coffee species (Coffea arabica, C. brevipes, C. canephora, C. eugenioides, C. humilis, C. liberica, C. pocsii, C. pseudo-zanguebariae, C. sessiliflora and C.stenophylla). Of these species, C. liberica and C. humilis were the most sensitive to desiccation and C. pseudozanguebariae the most tolerant. A study was carried out using the same seed lots to investigate if these differences in desiccation tolerance could be correlated with differences in soluble sugar content. Soluble sugars were extracted from dry seeds and analysed using high performance liquid chromatography. The seed monosaccharide (glucose and fructose) content was very low (1.5 to 2 mg g-1dry weight [dw]) in all species studied. The sucrose content ranged from 33 mg g-1dw in C. liberica seeds to 89 mg g-1dw in seeds of C. pocsii. Raffinose was detected in the seeds of only five species (C.arabica, C.brevipes, C.humilis, C.sessiliflora, C.stenophylla), among which only three species (C.arabica, C.sessiliflora and C.brevipes) also contained stachyose. Both raffinose and stachyose were present in very low quantities (0.3–1.4 mg g-1dw and 0.1–0.7 mg g-1dw, respectively). Verbascose was never detected. No significant relationship was found between seed desiccation sensitivity and: (i) the sugar content; (ii) the presence/absence of oligosaccharides; and (iii) the oligosaccharide:sucrose ratio.

    Abstract In order to produce tradeable standard green coffee, processed beans must be dried. The drying procedure affects the abundance of relevant aroma substances, e.g. carbohydrates. Using molecular tools, the corresponding metabolic basis is analyzed. A decrease in water potential of the still living coffee seeds induces massive drought stress responses. As a marker for these stress reactions, accumulation of a general stress metabolite, GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid), and associated gene expression of drought stress-associated dehydrins were monitored. The results of this study indicate that metabolism in drying coffee beans is quite complex since several events trigger accumulation of GABA. The first peak of GABA accumulation during drying is correlated with expression of isocitrate lyase and thus with ongoing germination processes in coffee seeds. Two subsequent peaks of GABA accumulation correspond to maxima of dehydrin gene expression and are thought to be induced directly by drought stress in the embryo and endosperm tissue, respectively. Apart from the significance for understanding basic seed physiology, metabolic changes in coffee seeds during processing provide valuable information for understanding the role and effect of the steps of green coffee processing on the quality of the resulting coffee.

    Abstract ABSTRACT: Enzymes play a fundamental role in degradation of molecules during seed germination, development, and deterioration. Endo-β-mannanase is one of the main enzymes responsible for hydrolysis of mannans in the endosperm during germination of coffee seeds through its action in hydrolytic degradation of cell walls and in weakening the structures of the endosperm that surround the embryo, allowing radicle emergence. The aim of this study was to determine the activity of the endo-β-mannanase enzyme in the structures of coffee seeds for the purpose of assessing the relationship between this activity and the physiological quality of the seeds under different processing and drying methods. Coffea arabica L. fruit in the cherry maturity stage was subjected to three different types of processing: natural (seeds maintained in the fruit itself), fully washed (fruit pulped mechanically and the seeds demucilaged by fermentation in water), and semi-washed or demucilaged (both fruit pulp and mucilage removed mechanically); and two methods of drying: slow drying (suspended screen) in the shade, and rapid drying in mechanical dryer at 35°C to a moisture content of 11±1%. After processing and drying, the physiological quality of the seeds was evaluated through the germination test, and endo-β-mannanase enzyme activity was quantified. Coffee seeds submitted to natural processing have lower physiological performance, as well as greater deterioration and greater activity of the endo-ß-mannanase enzyme. Removal of mucilage during fully washed and semi-washed processing of coffee seeds reduces the activity of the endo-ß-mannanase enzyme and lowers deterioration, especially after faster drying. The enzyme endo-ß-mannanase is efficient in studying of the effects of processing and drying on coffee seeds, and can be evaluated in whole seeds, endosperms or embryos.

    Abstract ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between a group of physiological variables (electrical conductivity, potassium leaching, and germination percentage) and a group of drying kinetics variables (drying time and drying rate) in addition to verifying the relation between drying kinetics variables and coffee quality as a function of processing type, temperature, and drying airflow. Coffee drying was conducted in a fixed-layer dryer at two temperatures and two airflows. After drying, an evaluation of the physiological and sensorial quality was conducted. Based on the results obtained, the following conclusions were drawn: coffee that is processed via a dry method is more sensitive to mechanical drying with heated air than coffee processed via a wet method, resulting in poor physiological performance; airflow does not interfere with the physiological quality of pulped and natural coffees; a temperature increase from 40 to 45°C resulted in a decrease in the physiological quality only for pulped coffee; and an increase in the drying rate as a result of an increase in the drying temperature to 40°C had a negative effect on the sensorial quality of pulped coffee.

      "Manually harvested ripe coffee fruits (Coffea arabica L. cv. Bourbon Amarelo) were used for this experiment." (p. 226)

      "After harvesting, the fruits were separated in water by density differences, and those with a lower specific mass (dry, underdeveloped, damaged by coffee berry borers, and malformed coffee fruits) were removed. A subsequent manual selection was conducted to remove any remaining immature or overripe fruits." (p. 226)

      "Mature, selected fruits were then divided into two groups: one group was taken directly to the dryers, representing "natural" coffee (dry processing), whereas the other group was pulped and placed in water tanks at room temperature for fermentation for 20 hours. Following fermentation, the coffee was washed in running water until the remaining mucilage was fully removed. The resulting parchment coffee was then taken to the dryer, representing pulped coffee (wet processing)." (p. 226)

      "The drying air speed was monitored using a blade anemometer that was constantly regulated and maintained between 0.4 and 1.6 m s-1, corresponding to flow rates of 24 and 96 m3 min.-1 m-2, respectively." (p. 227)

      "Two air drying temperatures were used (40 and 45°C). These temperatures were monitored through the use of mercury thermometers placed in the coffee mass." (p. 227)

      "The coffee was dried continuously until it reached 0.145 ± 0.005 (d.b.) in the fruit and 0.125 ± 0.005 (d.b.) in the parchment coffee, which corresponded to a 0.125 ± 0.005 kg kg-1 (d.b.) moisture content for the milled coffee." (p. 227)

      "The germination test was conducted with four subsamples of 50 seeds distributed in germination paper that was dampened with a quantity of water equal to two and a half times the mass of the dry substrate and germinated at 30ºC." (p. 228)

      "electricaln these results, it may be concluded that natural coffees are more physiologically sensitive to the effects of drying. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is that coffees that are processed via a dry method (natural) are exposed to drying air for longer periods, which exposes the endosperm and the embryo to more severe thermal damage, contributing to a greater loss of integrity of cell membranes (Saath et al., 2012; Taveira, Rosa, Borém, Giomo, & Saath, 2012)." (p. 230)

      "Therefore, regardless of the airflow, the temperature increase (from 40 to 45°C) reduces the drying time of pulped coffee but has a negative effect on the physiological quality." (p. 231)

    Abstract The technology developed by breeding programs is applied to coffee seeds; however, after processing and drying, they lose viability within a short period of time, thus making storage unsuitable. The objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of coffee seeds submitted to different drying methods and moisture contents during storage. The coffee seeds were submitted to conventional drying (slow shade drying) and fast drying in a static drier until they reached a moisture content of 40, 20, 12 and 5%. After this process, the seeds were stored in a cold chamber for 12 months, and seed quality was evaluated before and during storage by the germination test, electrophoretic patterns of heat resistant proteins, and the activity of isoenzyme systems. Conventional drying (slow shade drying) at 20% of moisture content maintains coffee seed quality until 12 months of storage.

    Abstract Freshly harvested mature seeds of three cultivars of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica var. Jamaica, cv. catimor 7963 and cv. blue mountain 1) were used to examine the effect of temperature (10-35°C) on germination, the desiccation tolerance of seeds following rapid dehydration and the effects of storage temperature (4, 10 and 15°C) on germination. Seeds attained a higher germination at 20, 25 and 30°C (P < 0.05) than at other temperatures. Seeds of blue mountain 1 are the most tolerant to desiccation, with seeds of Jamaica being superior to those of catimor 7963. A high seed water content (about 0.1026 g H2O g-1 DW) combined with a storage temperature of 15°C was found to be the most suitable set of conditions for the conservation of Arabica coffee seeds.

      "Mature fruits of coffee were collected from trees grown in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) (21°4' N, 101°25' E, 570 m a.s.l.) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yunnan, south-west China, in early August in 2011." (p. 61)

      "Four replicates of twenty five seeds were sown in 12 cm-diameter Petri dishes with 0.7% agar-water medium and placed in darkness at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C." (p. 61)

      "T he seed coat was removed, by hand, because the outer skin is a mechanical barrier to seed germination (Válio, 1976; Rosa et al., 2005, 2011)." (p. 61)

      "The seeds were extracted from the fruit by removing the pericarp." (p. 62)

      "Rapid dehydration was achieved by placing five samples of 105 seeds without pericarp in a closed glass container with activated silica gel at 25°C. The ratio of silica gel to seed was 18:1 (v/v). The silica gel was regenerated every 24 hours." (p. 62)

      "A fter drying for 24, 48, 72, 120 or 144 hours, five seeds from one of the five samples were withdrawn to determine seed water content and the remaining seeds of that sample were sown as four replicates of 25 seeds for germination in the dark at 30°C." (p. 62)

      "S eeds were desiccated for 72 hours in a closed glass container over activated silica gel at 25°C and then p acked in aluminum foil bags (100 seeds in each bag) and stored at 4, 10 and 15°C. Seed water content and germination were evaluated after 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months using the methods as described above, except that the number of seeds germinated was recorded every seven days up to 45 days." (p. 62)

      "Germination of seeds placed at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C varied, but was similar for all three cultivars." (p. 63)

      "At low temperatures (10 and 15°C), germination was lower than at higher temperatures (figure 1). 20, 25 and 30°C were optimum temperatures for germination. The maximum germination of cv. blue mountain 1, catimor 7963 and var. Jamaica was 93, 87 and 98%, respectively." (p. 63)

      "In all three cultivars, high germination percentages (above 80%) were shown throughout the 18-months storage at 10 and 15°C (figure 4). At 4°C, germination declined noticeably for all three cultivars: for blue mountain 1, germination declined from 90% after three months storage to 73.3% after 18 months (figure 4A); for catimor 7963, germination declined gradually between 3 and 12 months of storage and thereafter, rapidly declined to 56% by 18 months (figure 4D); for Jamaica, germination remained high from 3 to 12 months but then declined rapidly to 60% (figure 4G)." (p. 64)

      "Results from this study demonstrate that there is a steep decrease in germination with storage at 4°C. However seeds of the three cu ltivars exh ibited high ge rmination after a long period (18 months) of dry storage at 10 or at 15°C. Other authors have reported that optimum storage conditions would be at 15°C and 10- 12% water content (Ellis et al., 1990, 1991) According to the data of the current study, ger mination of seeds of the three cultivars of Arabica coffee was highest following storage at 15°C, wit h 10°C being superior to 4°C. The seeds are therefore intermediate." (p. 65)

      "To preserve the germplasm, seeds should be stored with 0.10 g H2O g-1 DW water content and at 15°C. These conditions should maintain germination for more than one year." (p. 66)

    Abstract O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os perfis proteicos e o desempenho fisiológico de sementes de café submetidas a diferentes métodos de processamento e secagem. Foram avaliados os processamentos por via seca e úmida, e as secagens natural, em terreiro, e artificial a 60ºC, ou a 60ºC até 30% de umidade e 40ºC até teor final de 11% (base úmida). Após serem processadas e secadas, as sementes foram avaliadas quanto ao desempenho fisiológico e submetidas a análises bioquímicas, por meio da eletroforese de proteínas resistentes ao calor LEA ("late embryogenesis abundant") e das enzimas superóxido dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, esterase, polifenoloxidase, isocitrato desidrogenase, álcool desidrogenase e malato desidrogenase. O perfil proteico de sementes de café é afetado pelo método de processamento e de secagem. Os cafés processados por via úmida apresentam maior tolerância à secagem - revelada pela maior atividade de enzimas antioxidativas e pelo melhor desempenho fisiológico - do que os processados por via seca. A atividade de proteínas resistentes ao calor e de enzimas antioxidantes é variável promissora para diferenciar a qualidade dos cafés submetidos a diferentes manejos pós-colheita.

    Abstract Postharvest stages can cause biochemical and physiological alterations with direct effects on the quality of coffee beans (Coffea spp.) During storage. The objective of this work was to determine the relevance of the expression of isoenzymes of the antioxidant process, in the conservation of the quality of the grains subjected to different types of processing and storage conditions. The fruits of Coffea arabica L. were harvested in the cherry ripening stage and dried, after being processed dry and wet. After drying, part of the grains was threshed and another part was preserved in coconut or parchment. Then, the grains were stored in controlled conditions of refrigerated air (10 ° C and 50% relative humidity) or at 25 ° C without control of relative humidity,for a period of 12 months. The enzymatic expression of the enzymes catalase, esterase, peroxidase and alcohol dehydrogenase was evaluated in the coffee beans throughout the storage by means of an electrophoretic analysis. These results were compared with the sensory and physiological profile of the samples. It was found that the expression of the enzymes of the antioxidant process is associated with alterations in the quality of the coffee beans. Natural coffee obtained by drying, is more sensitive to biochemical alterations of the wet processing. The beneficial effect of storage air cooling in preserving coffee quality is evidenced by the higher expression of the enzymes studied after six months. The expression of the enzymes of the antioxidant process,it is associated with the protective effect of the pericarp and endocarp.

    Abstract Easy method that used simple instrument was needed to calculate irrigation water requirement rapidly. The research was conducted to get coefficient for determining crop water requirement. Data was generated with single factor experiment arranged in Randomized Block Design with three replications at Bogor Agricultural University Research Station during March to October 2013. The treatment was five levels of shading that were 0. 25. 50. 75 and 100 % of shading. Coefficient of evapotranspiration was calculated by dividing evapotranpiration value with pan evaporation value. Result of the research showed that shading affected evapotranspiration or crop water requirement. So that. the coefficient of evapotranspiration under different level of shading was also different.

    Abstract The delayed luminescence of six groups of coffee seeds were measured and analyzed by the decay behavior and statistics parameters. All groups exhibited high germination rate with normal aging behavior with exception of an unripe group. Possible correlations of viability with the photon counting data are discussed, since all measurements exhibited higher total counting (Σ(x)>1.104) indicating non-classical light storage and emission. The best correlation was observed within the total counting over the entire period of 500 points (25s), analyzed together with the decay behavior quantified by the hyperbolic decay fitting and statistical parameters.

    Abstract ABSTRACT Cryopreservation is a technique that may potentially conserve the germplasm of species of the Coffea genus for an indeterminate time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological, biochemical and ultrastructural characteristics of cryopreserved seeds of Coffea arabica L., cultivar Catucaí amarelo IAC 62, which was subjected to different protocols regarding dehydration, precooling, cooling, rewarming and cathode water use. According to each protocol, the seeds were subjected to fast or slow drying to moisture contents of 17 or 20% (wet basis), cooled in different ways, and then immersed in liquid nitrogen for 24 hours. Different rewarming times in a water bath were also used. Physiological, biochemical and ultrastructural analyses were performed on the seeds after the cryopreservation steps. Moisture content at a 17% wb is the key factor for the cryopreservation of Coffea arabica L. seeds, which have better physiological quality and better preserved cell structures. Precooling of coffee seeds before immersion in liquid nitrogen does not provide advantages compared to direct immersion. The rewarming times tested (2, 4, and 6 minutes) and cathode water use did not cause changes in the physiological and biochemical quality or in the cell structures of Coffea arabica L. cryopreserved seeds. The pattern of cell structure observed in all seeds indicates that the damage from cryopreservation is less drastic in the cells of the embryos than in those of the endosperm, with the latter less tolerant to the stresses of dehydration, precooling, and rewarming.

    Abstract Maturity stage and drying method are the factors that most influence coffee seed quality. The objective of this study was to assess the physiological quality and investigate the electrophoretic patterns of catalase and endo-β-mannanase enzymes and heat resistant proteins in coffee seeds harvested at different phenological stages and dried under different conditions. Physiological quality was assessed when the seeds had developed the green, greenish-yellow, cherry, overripe and dry stages after three treatments: no drying, conventional drying and fast drying. After each treatment, the physiological quality of the seeds was assessed using the germination test and electrophoretic patterns of heat resistant proteins and the activity of catalase and endo-β-mannanase enzymes. Seeds harvested at the cherry phenological stage had the best physiological quality, and the drying process reduced quality at the cherry, overripe and dry stages. This reduction was greater under the faster drying process, but at the greenish-yellow stage, seeds had better physiological quality after slow drying. Regarding the results from electrophoretic analysis, endo-β-mannanase and catalase activities increase as the ripeness stages advance; the activity of endo-β-mannanase is directly associated with the deterioration process; the expression of heat resistant proteins increases with maturation process and is associated with seed physiological quality.

    Abstract Objetivou-se com a presente pesquisa estudar tempos e temperaturas mais adequadas para o condicionamento fisiológico e avaliar os efeitos desses tratamentos na germinação sob condições de estresse térmico, de sementes de cafeeiro armazenadas. O estudo foi conduzido nos Laboratórios de Análise de Sementes e Técnicas Moleculares do Departamento de Agricultura da Universidade Federal de Lavras, utilizando-se sementes de café da cultivar Acaiá do cerrado. As sementes foram colhidas nos campos de produção da UFLA e armazenadas em condições de ambiente de agosto/2000 a janeiro/2001, quando foram submetidas ao condicionamento em água nas temperaturas de 15, 25 e 35ºC por 4, 8 12 dias de embebição. O condicionamento foi realizado em câmara tipo BOD, na presença de luz, e a aeração foi feita com compressores e bombas de aquário. Após cada tratamento, as sementes foram imediatamente submetidas à determinação do teor de água e avaliadas pelos testes de germinação e índice de velocidade de germinação sob estresse térmico (20 e 35ºC) e eletroforese de enzimas. Para comparação, foram utilizadas sementes sem tratamento de embebição. Pelos resultados, conclui-se que as sementes condicionadas em água a 15 e 25ºC apresentaram melhor desempenho da germinação em condições de estresse térmico; o condicionamento a 35ºC não foi apropriado; o condicionamento por 4 dias foi o menos eficiente em melhorar a qualidade fisiológica das sementes, e o condicionamento fisiológico em água mostrou-se eficaz ao revigoramento, principalmente a 25ºC por 12 dias.

    Notes:

    • The seeds were selected, eliminating those malformed and broken, and then the endocarp (parchment) was removed by manual process. At the time of installation of the tests, the seeds had an initial viability of 59%, determined by the tetrazolium test and 11.04% moisture, determined by the oven method (105º C ± 3º C for 24 hours), as prescriptions of the Rules for Seed Analysis (BRASIL, 1992).

      The seeds were submerged in water inside three plastic containers with a capacity of 3 liters, so that the water level overlapped the level of the seeds. Each container was placed inside BOD-type chambers, in the presence of light and temperatures of 15, 25 and 35ºC each. Aeration was carried out during the entire conditioning period (4, 8 and 12 days) by means of air injection with an aquarium compressor and a special aquarium filter pump (Whisper-Power filter), which promoted water circulation that fell in the form of a waterfall.

      Germination speed index under ideal temperature conditions: It was conducted with four replicates of 50 seeds, arranged in two rolls of 25 seeds each for each treatment. The substrate used was a roll of paper towels moistened with water at a proportion of 2.5 times the weight of the paper. The seeds remained in a germinator at 30ºC, in the presence of light.

      Germination speed index under heat stress conditions: The methodology used was similar to that described in the previous item, however, in chambers regulated at 20ºC and 35ºC.

      Germination speed index under thermal condition of 30°C

      It should be noted that the water content of the seeds, after the conditioning treatments, were significantly higher than that of the control, which initially had a water content of 11.04%.

      It is also observed that the lowest [germination speed] indices were obtained in seeds conditioned at 35ºC, regardless of the soaking time.

      Already, in the Figure 2b , in which the germination speed indices are presented under a thermal condition of 30ºC as a function of the conditioning temperature, it can be seen that the highest indices were found in seeds soaked for a period of 4 days at 25ºC and 35ºC, when whereas, at a temperature of 15ºC, the times of 4 and 8 days had very similar rates. Regarding the soaking time corresponding to 12 days, the lowest indices were verified at all the conditioning temperatures studied.

      There is a negative effect when seeds were conditioned at 35ºC for 8 and 12 days. On the other hand, the highest index was obtained in seeds soaked for 4 days at a temperature of 25ºC, while the other treatments provided indexes statistically similar to the control.

      Thermal stress at 20°C

      It is noteworthy that the seeds conditioned at 35ºC, in addition to the dark color observed at the end of the treatments, when placed to germinate, presented a mortality of almost 100% in the last test count.

      At Figure 3b , which shows the germination speed index under heat stress of 20ºC of coffee seeds conditioned as a function of temperature, there is a decreasing trend in times of 4 and 8 days of imbibition up to a temperature of 35ºC. Already, within 12 days of imbibition, an increasing trend was observed up to a temperature of 25ºC, followed by a decreasing trend up to 35ºC, so that, at all times studied, the lowest index values ​​were verified in the conditioned seeds at 35 °C.

      Thermal stress at 35ºC

      it can be seen that, in general, the time of 4 days and the temperature of 35ºC provided the lowest indexes, while the temperature of 25ºC and the time of 12 days, the highest.

      In general, low index values ​​are observed, and within 8 days of imbibition at 15ºC and 35ºC, there was 100% seed mortality. However, seed treatments for 12 days of imbibition at 15ºC and 25ºC stand out, which were statistically superior to the control

       

      Seed conditioning in water at 15 and 25ºC promotes greater germination and vigor of coffee seeds under stress conditions.

      The periods of 8 and 12 days of imbibition provide the greatest increments in the vigor of the coffee seeds.

      Conditioning at a temperature of 35ºC does not improve the physiological quality of coffee seeds.

    Abstract Little information is available about lipid metabolism in Coffea arabica L. seeds, which have an oil content between 11 and 16% w/w. This is surprising given the involvement of lipids in the physical, chemical, and physiological properties of the coffee beverage. To shed light on this subject, freshly harvested C. arabica seeds were sampled at different stages of germination. Oleosomes (the organelles responsible for lipid storage) were extracted and their structure was observed by differential interference-contrast microscopy. Triacylglycerol content of oleosomes was analyzed by thin-layer chromatography, and the protein fraction was evaluated by gel electrophoresis. A review of available genomic data on oleosin and lipase genes was performed, and expression of genes related to lipid metabolism was measured by Real-Time PCR. The results drew a coherent picture of coffee seed germination, revealing that oleosins have the highest concentration after 14 days of germination, followed by a marked decrease. This was backed up by molecular observations, showing how oleosin genes were downregulated after 6–9 days of germination, while genes related to lipid degradation were upregulated from day 9 onwards. Morphological evidence supported these findings, as after 14 days embryo growth became significant and cotyledons started to invade the endosperm and metabolize seed reserves. The present research will be an important first step in better understanding the biology of oleosomes in Coffea arabica L. and in elucidating the role of lipid metabolism in green coffee quality.

    Abstract The present work establishes for the first time that tolerance of coffee seeds to liquid nitrogen (LN) exposure depends on the initial quality of the seedlot and on the rewarming regime employed. Seedlot quality was estimated by the parameters of a quantal response model of desiccation sensitivity developed previously. The percentage of seedlings recovered from cryopreserved seeds was very well correlated with the relative humidity (RH) at which 90% of the initial viability was retained, RH90, as estimated by the model. Whatever the cooling regime employed, rewarming the seeds slowly by exposing them to ambient air was highly detrimental. Slow rewarming-induced viability loss was not due to imbibitional damage since seeds pre-heated at 37°C after slow rewarming to 0°C exhibited a survival percentage lower than seeds thawed rapidly to 0°C before sowing. The optimal hydration status for coffee seed cryopreservation was also re-examined. Drying seeds in 81%RH provided survival percentages considerably higher than those obtained using the drying RH always employed until now, i.e. 78%. A new procedure for slowly precooling the seeds prior to immersion in LN was also established. It consisted of placing the vials containing the seeds in a dry ice-bath for 25 min. Using this procedure in combination with seed drying in 81% RH and rapid rewarming in a 37°C water-bath for 30 min ensured the highest survival percentages ever obtained with coffee seeds, i.e. 89%, a value which was not significantly different from the initial viability percentage.

      "material h mature seeds of C. arabica variety Caturra were provided from CICAFE, San Jose, Costa Rica. Four seedlots corresponding to four consecutive years of production at CICAFE (2002-2005) were employed. Fruits were always harvested on trees grown under the same conditions, and seeds extracted, processed and shipped to IRD-Montpellier, France using the same procedure. Desiccation and subsequent trials were always performed within 3 weeks after receipt of the seedlots. In all experiments, the endocarp was manually removed from the seeds before any treatment." (p. 172)

      "Seeds were desiccated by equilibration over various saturated salt solutions for 20 days at 25°C in the dark." (p. 172)

      "For the measurement of seed desiccation sensitivity, seeds were desiccated over ZnCl2 (5%RH), KOH (9%RH), K acetate (23%RH), MgCl2 (32% RH), K2CO3 (45%RH), NH4NO3 (62%RH) and (NH4)2SO4 (81% RH) saturated solutions." (p. 172)

      "Batches of 50 4 4 2 4capped 15 ml polypropylene tubes. Rapid cooling was achieved by immersing the tubes in LN. Precooling was carried out by placing the tubes between two 800 g layers of dry ice in a closed polystyrene foam box for 25 min. Seeds were either thawed by plunging the tubes in a 37°C water-bath (rapid rewarming) or by exposing them to ambient (25°C) air (slow rewarming), or by combining these two rewarming procedures." (p. 172)

      "For germination, batches of 10 seeds were placed above 18 g vermiculite fully imbibed with 45 ml sterile water in closed plastic boxes (©Magenta)." (p. 173)

      "A large variability was observed between the four seedlots of the variety Caturra studied with respect to their seed desiccation tolerance (Fig. 2). As quantified by the two parameters of the quantal response model, RH50 and b, which varied from 26 to 40% and from 0.12 to 0.29, respectively." (p. 173)

      "Placing the tubes in a dry ice-bath provided a cooling rate about 5-fold lower than immersion in LN (Table 2, Fig. 3). Whatever the rewarming procedure employed, precooling the seeds in a dry ice-bath for 25 min considerably improved seed tolerance to LN exposure (Table 2)" (p. 175)

      "Immersing the tubes in a 37°C water-bath provided a rewarming rate about 2-fold higher than exposing the tubes to ambient air (Table 2, Fig. 3)." (p. 175)

      "Whatever the cooling regime, rewarming the seeds slowly had a highly detrimental effect on seed viability. For seeds exposed to LN temperature, seed viability ranged from 1% when using both sub-optimal cooling (rapid) and warming (slow) procedures to 82% when optimal cooling (two-step) and rewarming (rapid) regimes were employed." (p. 175)

      "When seeds were maintained in the 37°C water-bath for 30 min, they reached the water-bath temperature (37°C) after about 15 min (Fig. 4)." (p. 176)

      "Interestingly, the survival percentage remained low (20%, Table 3) when seeds were immersed in a water-bath for 30 min after slow rewarming up to 0°C (by exposing the vials for 15 min to ambient air, Fig. 4)." (p. 177)

      "The main challenges arising from this result are not only to identify these factors, which are still unknown, but to know how they are influenced by the environment, since we used a single variety (Caturra), the inter-seedlot variation observed cannot be of genetic origin." (p. 178)

    Abstract Exposure of coffee to low temperatures caused growth inhibition, changes in metabolic rates, and membrane alterations. Root tissue exposed to 10 °C evolved significantly lower rates of metabolic heat compared with controls grown at 25 °C, and the values were closely associated with the observed root growth inhibition. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of intact tissues showed that the spin probe 5-doxylstearic acid was capable to intercalate within the cellular membrane lipids. Indeed, at the depth of the 5th carbon atoms of the alkyl chains, the nitroxide radical detected more rigid membranes in seedlings exposed to 10 °C compared with 25 °C treated samples. Ascorbate peroxidase and catalase activities did not show appreciable changes under chilling conditions, while guaiacol peroxidase activity increased 55 % compared to the control. On the other hand, glutathione reductase activity decreased, in parallel to a significant decline in the capacity to reduce triphenyl-tetrazolium. Our results showed a marked correlation between lipid peroxidation and root tissue damage, which seemed to be associated with increased membrane rigidity.

    Abstract Abstract: Germination of the coffee (Coffea arabica L.) seed is the result of events that occur simultaneously in the embryo and endosperm. To understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for these events, we undertook a transcriptome analysis of embryo, micropylar and lateral endosperms from 10-day-imbibed seeds. The sequencing yielded contigs coding for 16,813 proteins. From those, 14,005 (~ 83%) were highly similar to at least one protein sequence in the nr database. 162 genes were significantly expressed in the embryo, 36 in the micropylar endosperm and 72 in the lateral endosperm. The tissue specificity analysis of the significantly expressed genes showed that the embryo had the highest proportion of specific genes (113/162, ~70%), while 11 were expressed in the micropylar and lateral endosperms. In the embryo, genes were mainly associated with abiotic stress, cell growth, and intercellular communication. In the micropylar and lateral endosperms, they were associated with abiotic stress and cell wall degradation. The accuracy of RNA-seq data was confirmed by RT-qPCR. This work adds new information about the molecular mechanism involved in coffee seed germination.

    Abstract The mode of coffee processing, either the wet or dry method, determines the characteristic flavour and establishes the differences in quality of the final green coffee produced. The present study focused mainly on identifying the differential gene expression in green coffee seeds of Brazilian arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) among samples prepared under three different post-harvest treatments (natural, washed and semi washed method) and grown in two different locations. Expression levels of 16 genes of interest were measured. These genes are involved in various cellular, metabolic and biochemical activities influencing levels of certain compounds, such as lipids, carbohydrates, caffeine and chlorogenic acid, associated with quality characteristics of the beverage. Microarray experiments were designed with cDNA probe sequences. Microarray data was analyzed to identify the differences in gene expression between two altitudes and between two variables: location and post-harvest treatment. Cluster analysis was carried out with samples showing similar patterns, which are characteristic to the group. With this approach, it was possible to identify the important genes in C. arabica seeds that have differential (increased or decreased) expression levels. It was also seen that between the location and treatments, location profoundly impacts the levels of gene expression in samples.

    Abstract Since the early 2000s, there has been a resurgence in shade coffee production on the island of Puerto Rico. The newly restored specialized shade canopy consists of four native tree species, three of which are nitrogen fixers, and is intended to provide 30% shade cover once the trees are matured. Though much is known about the benefits of rustic and traditional shade plantations to coffee production, there is little information available for specialized shade plantations. Here, we investigate the ways in which fruit set, seed predation, bean weight, proportion of peaberries (i.e., malformed fruits), and beverage quality differ between sun and specialized shade plantations of Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora. Additionally, to assess whether coffee plants were pollen limited, we conducted a pollen supplementation experiment in which we compared pollen deposition and berry production on hand-pollinated branches to those of naturally, open-pollinated ones. We found that there was no evidence of pollen limitation on fruit set between sun and specialized shade plantations of C. arabica or C. canephora. We found that specialized shade benefits the proportion of C. arabica fruit set, without compromising bean weight or the proportion of peaberries produced. In comparison, C. canephora showed no improvement in the proportion of fruits set with specialized shade; however, beans from open-pollinated flowers weighed more in specialized shade than sun. Beverage quality was marginally better under shade, and for hand-pollinated flowers. Our results add to the limited body of work investigating the benefits of specialized shade coffee plantations on ecosystem services.

    Abstract High seed quality is essential for optimum stand establishment in Coffee. As a result, it is necessary to have seed physical, germination percent, physiological and health tests that permit rapid, objective and accurate evaluation of seed quality. This study evaluated the effect of storage time on physical, physiological, germination percent and health quality of seed lots of five coffee varieties obtained from research and commercial company. This test is conducted under ideal laboratory conditions and in the nursery site. After sample collected pure, pea-beery, cracked and shriveled seeds were measured before determining standard germination and vigor. The highest pea berry was recorded at JARC on the variety 75227(18.63), and the lowest was at LCP on the variety 74165 (8.81). In parchment coffee seed, the percentage of physical defects during seed processing affects germination and seedling viability. The standard germination test in the moisten-soft paper continues to be the most common measure of seed quality in coffee. In addition, this test requires more than two weeks before a determination of seed germination was possible. Ideally, seed quality tests efficiently differentiate between poor and good seed lots in a short period. There was high germination percent in the first planting time were recorded after one month storage than other two consecutive storage time. Normal germinated seedling reduced with in increases seed storage time and the incidence of seed/ soil -born pathogenic fungi. The germination test of seeds from laboratory under petri-dish with moist soft paper and at the nursery site also had low vigour and did not produce suitable seedlings for planting evaluated after three month storage. If after one month storage time of coffee seeds germinated more than older seeds (as our study indicates), then seedlings derived from younger may have a competitive advantage over seedlings derived from older one. In the present study, pre-emergence seedling mortality (Rotten) was greater in third month storage than in first month old seeds. This mortality partially accounted for the lower germination percentage in three month old seeds because only seeds that emerged above the soil surface were considered to have germinated is an indication of reduced vigor. In my study, in coffee seeds, seedlings from relatively low stored seeds were generally better able to withstand environmental stress than those from old seeds. Coffee seed sample from two sources stored safely to optimize coffee seedling production at the appropriate time and season with ideal climatic conditions for planting in the field.
