Climate models predict decreasing precipitation and increasing air temperature, causing
concern for the future of cocoa in the major producing regions worldwide. It has been …

Abstract Aim Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is expected to be vulnerable to climate change.
The objectives of this study were to (a) assess the future impact of climate change on cacao …

The diversification of agroecosystems with shade trees has a complex role in climate
change adaptation. Multiple interactions among shade tree composition, heterogeneous soil …

Understanding water stress signaling mechanisms and screening for tolerant cocoa cultivars
are major challenges when facing prolonged dry and rainy seasons in cocoa-producing …

Drought tolerance was examined in two oil palm hybrids (BRS Manicoré and BRS C 2501)
grown in large pots and subjected to long-term drought (57 days) and rehydration …

In order to assess the response of cocoa trees to drought, changes in water status, gas
exchange, leaf carbon isotopic ratio (δ13C), photochemical activity, and leaf N and …

The increase in events associated with drought constraints plant growth and crop
performance. Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is sensitive to water deficit stress (DS), which …

Cocoa trees are highly sensitive to water stress but these negative effects may differ
genetically and may be mitigated by potassium (K) application. We studied these effects on …
