Phenolic compounds are involved in plant response to environmental conditions and are highly present in leaves of Coffea arabica L., originally an understory shrub. To increase knowledge of C. arabica leaf phenolic compounds and their patterns in adaptation to light intensity, mature leaves of Ethiopian wild accessions, American pure lines and their relative F1 hybrids were sampled in full sun or under 50% shade field plots in Mexico and at two contrasting elevations in Nicaragua and Colombia. Twenty-one phenolic compounds were identified by LC-DAD-MS2 and sixteen were quantified by HPLC-DAD. Four of them appeared to be involved in C. arabica response to light intensity. They were consistently more accumulated in full sun, presenting a stable ratio of leaf content in the sun vs. shade for all the studied genotypes: 1.6 for 5-CQA, F-dihex and mangiferin and 2.8 for rutin. Moreover, 5-CQA and mangiferin contents, in full sun and shade, allowed for differentiating the two genetic groups of Ethiopian wild accessions (higher contents) vs. cultivated American pure lines. They appear, therefore, to be potential biomarkers of adaptation of C. arabica to light intensity for breeding programs. We hypothesize that low 5-CQA and mangiferin leaf contents should be searched for adaptation to full-sun cropping systems and high contents used for agroforestry systems.

Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is one of the most important crops cultivated worldwide and has a great economic impact in many countries including Ethiopia. Hybrid vigor (heterosis) breeding can enhance productivity of coffee. Hybrid vigor study was conducted on 5 x 5 half-diallel mating involving 17coffee genotypes (5 parents, 10 F1 hybrids and two checks) for yield and its related traits in 2018. The study locations include Jimma, Agaro and Gera research centers of south-western Ethiopia using randomized completely block design with three replications. There are significant differences among 17 genotypes and 15 diallel genotypes (checks excluded) for all traits; the crosses showed significant and positive average heterosis (mid parent) and heterobeltiosis (better parent) for all traits. Crosses showed significant variation in the expression of standard heterosis (SH) and useful heterosis (UH) for fruit length (FL), fruit width (FW), bean length (BL), bean width (BW), bean thickness(BT), and hundred bean weight (HBW) across locations. Heterobeltiosis ranged from -9.06 to 88.79% and -17.81 to 67.98% for yield at Jimma and Gera, respectively. Mean SH and UH was positive and between 5 and 10% for BL and BT and <5% for all fruit characters and BT across locations. Mean of SH and UH was 14.62% and 11.82%, respectively for HBW. Crosses P4 x P5, P1 x P5 and P2 x P5 increased yield by 25.13% (637.75 kg), 14.05% (356.64 kg) and 5.78% (146.59 kg) over commercial pure line variety across three locations, respectively. Based on heterosis and mean performance hybrids P4 x P5, P1 x P5, P3 x P5, and P1 x P2 found as promising hybrids for yield and bean characters. Thus, these hybrids should be advanced in the next breeding program and tested through incorporating other traits.

Objetivo: Analizar el proceso de producción y comercialización de café en la comunidad del Cerro Cuate, Iliatenco, en la región de la Montaña de Guerrero, México.Diseño/Metodología/aproximación: el trabajo se realizó por; 1) investigación documental), 2) selección del área de estudio, 3) Entrevista estructurada con preguntas abiertas a 22 cafeticultores, soportada con la técnica de encuesta seccional y la herramienta de cédulas de entrevistas, y 4) análisis de la información. El tamaño de muestra se definió por el método de muestreo por conveniencia, y la selección de las unidades de análisis por la técnica bola de nieve. Resultados: El sistema de producción de café que predominó fue el sistema rústico de montaña, intercalado con plátano y frutales. La máxima productividad de las plantaciones se alcanza de 5.5 a 7.5años de edad, la renovación de plantas la hacen a los 12 años. El rendimiento de café fue de 3.7 kg por planta por año. La producción del café la realizan principalmente hombres (77.3%), entre 56 y 70años de edad. La venta se realiza en la presentación de café capulín a granel a intermediarios, a la ARIC, a CAFECO, a la Unión de Ejidos y a la Organización Mixtrui.Limitaciones del estudio/implicaciones: Se da una propuesta de mejora para favorecer el proceso de producción, beneficio y comercialización del café.Hallazgos/conclusiones: Coffea arabica es el principal café que se cultiva, con las variedades Typica, Caturra, Mundo Novo, Garnica y Bourbón. Los factores que limitan su producción y calidad son faltade planeación en manejo del cultivo y no contar con asesoría técnica.

A disposição dos ramos e sobreposição das folhas em plantas de café dificultam a penetração da calda pulverizada. Portanto, para determinar o volume de calda adequado, é importante verificar o estado de enfolhamento da lavoura antes da aplicação. Objetivou-se com este trabalho, avaliar a deposição de caldas de pulverização em lavouras de café aplicadas em diferentes volumes vegetativos. Os tratamentos foram dispostos seguindo esquema de parcelas subdivididas em cada volume vegetativo (5.000; 7.500; 10.000 e 17.500 m<sup>3</sup> ha<sup>-1</sup>). Sendo as parcelas cinco volumes de calda (150, 300, 450, 600 e 750 L ha<sup>-1</sup>) e as subparcelas três posições no dossel do cafeeiro (terço superior, médio e inferior) com quatro repetições. Nos quatro volumes vegetativos estudados, não ocorreu interação significativa (p&gt;0,05) entre o volume aplicado e os diferentes volumes vegetativos. Porém, os volumes vegetativos de 5.000,0 e 17.500,0 m<sup>3</sup> ha<sup>-1</sup> a deposição foi crescente com aumento das vazões, o que pode ser atribuído a densidade foliar. Não foi verificada diferença estatística (p&gt; 0,05), entre as médias de deposição nos diferentes terços (alturas) no dossel das plantas de café, nos volumes vegetativos 5.000,0 m<sup>3 </sup>ha<sup>-1</sup>, 10.000,0 m<sup>3 </sup>ha<sup>-1</sup> e 17.500,0 m<sup>3 </sup>ha<sup>-1</sup>. Contudo, no volume de 7.500,0 m<sup>3 </sup>ha<sup>-1</sup> houve maior deposição no terço mediano em relação ao terço inferior. A deposição é maior à medida que aumenta o volume de calda aplicado. Em plantas com menor densidade foliar, há incremento na deposição. A deposição é maior no terço mediano em relação ao terço inferior.

AbstractWhilst it is established that almost all cultivated coffee (Coffea arabica L.) varieties originated in Yemen after some coffee seeds were introduced into Yemen from neighboring Ethiopia, the actual coffee genetic diversity in Yemen and its significance to the coffee world had never been explored. We observed five genetic clusters. The first cluster, which we named the Ethiopian-Only (EO) cluster, was made up exclusively of the Ethiopian accessions. This cluster was clearly separated from the Yemen and cultivated varieties clusters, hence confirming the genetic distance between wild Ethiopian accessions and coffee cultivated varieties around the world. The second cluster, which we named the SL-17 cluster, was a small cluster of cultivated worldwide varieties and included no Yemen samples. Two other clusters were made up of worldwide varieties and Yemen samples. We named these the Yemen Typica-Bourbon cluster and the Yemen SL-34 cluster. Finally, we observed one cluster that was unique to Yemen and was not related to any known cultivated varieties and not even to any known Ethiopian accession: we name this cluster the New-Yemen cluster. We discuss the consequences of these findings and their potential to pave the way for further comprehensive genetic improvement projects for the identification of major resilience/adaptation and cup quality genes that have been shaped through the domestication process of C. arabica.
