BRS Careca, BRS Fartura, BRS Duquesa, BRS Curinga, and BRS Golias: new cupuassu tree cultivars

Abstract The cultivars BRS Careca, BRS Fartura, BRS Duquesa, BRS Curinga, and BRS Golias of Theobroma grandiflorum are characterized by high levels of fruit production and diverse sources of resistance to witches’ broom disease. These cultivars are recommended for replacing the tree canopy of low yielding genotypes or forming new orchards.

摘要 本研究对大花可可树（Theobroma grandiflorum）的BRS Careca、BRS Fartura、BRS Duquesa、BRS Curinga及BRS Golias五个栽培品种进行了系统性表征，结果显示这些品种兼具较高的果实产量与多样化的抗女巫帚枝病（witches’ broom disease）抗性资源。上述品种可用于替换低产基因型果树的冠层，或用于新建果园的营建。
