integration of metabolomics and proteomics for understanding the molecular physiology of cacao seed development. Both the metabolomic and proteomic profiles of 4 developing stages' cacao seed were obtained from the mass spectrometry based platforms.
RNA-seq to simultaneously inspect the transcriptomes of cacao and M. perniciosa during their biotrophic interaction. Five biological replicates of each condition (healthy seedlings and seedlings at 30 d after infection) were harvested for transcriptome sequencing using RNA-seq. For this experiment, ...
Cocoa seed storage proteins play an important role in flavour development as aroma precursors are formed from their degradation during fermentation. Major proteins in the beans of Theobroma cacao are the storage proteins belonging to the vicilin and albumin fraction. Although both these classes of p...
Mi(cro)RNAs are small non-coding RNAs of 18-25 nucleotides in length that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. These RNAs have been shown to be involved in a several biological processes, human diseases and metabolic disorders. Proanthocyanidins, which are the most abundant po...
With the goal to better understand somatic embryogenesis (SE) development and improve the efficiency of SE conversion in Theobroma cacao L. we examined the differences between zygotic and somatic embryo at gene expression level using a whole genome microarray. A gene expression microarray represent...
Theobroma cacao seeds were oven dried at 50 C and ground in an analytical mill. The ground seeds were extracted with propylene glycol in the ratio of 20:80 W/V.
