Publisher Description:

Coffee is one of the most widely traded commodities in the world. Coffee cultivation faces a number of challenges including over reliance on a relatively small number of varieties vulnerable to a range of abiotic and biotic stresses as well as increasing expectations of quality amongst consumers. These challenges are addressed by this volume.

Part 1 looks at advances in understanding plant physiology and ensuring genetic diversity. These provide the basis for summarising developments in breeding improved varieties of Arabica and Robusta coffee. The second part of the book reviews our understanding of the chemical composition, sensory properties and potential nutraceutical benefits of coffee.

With its distinguished editor and international range of expert authors, this volume will be a standard reference for coffee scientists, growers and processors.

Contributor Bio(s): Lashermes, Philippe: - Dr Lashermes is Director of Research at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), France. He co-led the international initiative that sequenced the coffee genome, and has published extensively on coffee genetics.Damatta, Fabio M.: - Dr. Fabio M. DaMatta in an agronomist and received his doctorate in Plant Physiology in 1995 from the Federal University of Viçosa, Brazil, where he is currently a Professor of Plant Physiology in the Plant Biology Department. Dr. DaMatta is the author or co-author of more than 100 research articles and book chapters, most of which address the ecophysiology of the coffee tree. He served as a member of the Editorial Review Board of Tree Physiology (2004-2005) and was both the Editor-in-Chief of the Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology (2006-2008) and the International Coordinator and Consulting Editor of the Advances in Plant Physiology series (Scientific Publishers). He is currently a consulting member of the Brazilian Consortium for Coffee Research and Development as well as other scientific agencies in the Brazilian government and abroad. Dr. DaMatta serves as an Associate Editor of Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology and an Academic Editor of PLoS ONE, and he is the Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Plant Physiology of the Federal University of Viçosa. His current H-index is 27 (Web of Science)/37 (Google Scholar).
