Genomic prediction of resistance to Phytophthora megakarya in cacao from a sparse host-pathogen screen
Black pod rot caused by Phytophthora megakarya is a major disease impacting cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) production in West Africa. Resistance is influenced by genetic variation in both host and pathogen populations. While genomic prediction approaches have been widely applied in plant breeding, most studies incorporate only host genomic information. The value of explicitly modeling pathogen…
