Genomic prediction of resistance to Phytophthora megakarya in cacao from a sparse host-pathogen screen

Ina Schlathoelter, Andrew J. Gitto, Adriana L. Arciniegas, Mariana Herrera Corzo, Oluwaseun Olawale Kolawole, Erica M. Goss, Donald Livingstone, Alana Firl, Donna R. Henderson, Derek R. Drost, Dayana Rodezno, Jean-Philippe Marelli, Jeremy T. Brawner

This study predicts cacao resistance to Phytophthora megakarya using genomic data, finding that host genomic relationships are more predictive than pathogen relatedness in a structured host-pathogen system.
