Utilization of molecular markers to detect the authenticity of cocoa clones
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.), the main source of cocoa-based products and chocolate, must be conserved live in situ or ex situ as its seeds do not remain viable for more than a couple of weeks once the pod has been harvested. The Malaysian Cocoa Germplasm Collection (MCGC) is one of the ex situ collec...
