Screening of cacao clones for drought tolerance by assessing predawn leaf water potential, growth, and leaf gas exchange

Screening of cacao clones for drought tolerance by assessing predawn leaf water potential, growth, and leaf gas exchange

Drought in cacao-producing regions worldwide is causing a decrease in yield and, in severe cases, leading to plant death. This primarily affects small farmers who lack sufficient financial resources or water availability to irrigate their plantations. This study aimed to test 83 cacao clonal genotyp...
