Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alberto J R Navarro"
- Alberto J R Navarro's research primarily focuses on enhancing the genetic resistance of cacao plants against diseases caused by specific fungal pathogens, particularly witches' broom disease (WBD) and frosty pod rot disease (FPRD).
- His 2018 study employs genome-wide association analysis and genomic selection techniques to identify and predict resistant traits in cacao, thereby aiding in the development of robust and resilient cacao cultivars.
- Navarro emphasizes the importance of efficient screening methods for germplasm to ensure the successful breeding of disease-resistant cacao varieties, which is crucial for improving crop yield and sustainability in the cacao industry.
