Evaluation and use of the genetic diversity present in the International Cocoa Genebank (ICG,T), in Trinidad

Genetic diversity is currently assessed in the ICG,T using Isozyme Electrophoresis and RAPID. The information obtained from this assessment is used for establishing a "working collection" within ICG,T containing a reduced number of clones with large genetic diversity and interesting agronomic traits. Proposals are made to integrate the results of this assessment in to the cocoa breeding strategy. (Resume d'auteur)
