Abstract
BACKGROUND Coffee quality is an important selection criterion for coffee breeding. Metabolite profiling and Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) effectively dissect the genetic background of complex traits such as metabolites content (caffeine, trigonelline, and 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA)) in coffee that affect quality. Therefore, it is important to determine the metabolic profiles of Coffea spp. genotypes. This study aimed to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) within Coffea spp. genotypes through GWAS and associate these significant SNPs to the metabolic profiles of the different genotypes. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1,739 SNP markers were obtained from 80 genotypes using the DArTseq™ method. Caffeine, trigonelline, and 5-CQA content were determined in coffee leaves using Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analyses. The GWAS was carried out using the Genome Association and Prediction Integrated Tool (GAPIT) software and a compressed mixed linear model. Finally, a total of three significant SNP markers out of ten were identified. One SNP, located in the coffee chromosome (Chr) 8, was significantly associated with caffeine. The two remaining SNPs, located in Chr 4 and 5, were significantly associated with trigonelline and six SNPs markers were associated with 5-CQA in Chr 1, 5 and 10, but these six markers were not significant. CONCLUSIONS These significant SNP sequences were associated with protein ubiquitination, assimilation, and wall receptor kinases. Therefore, these SNPs might be useful hits in subsequent quality coffee breeding programs.

Rising Carbon Dioxide and Global Nutrition: Evidence and Action Needed. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11071000. [PMID: 35406979 PMCID: PMC9003137 DOI: 10.3390/plants11071000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
While the role of CO2 as a greenhouse gas in the context of global warming is widely acknowledged, additional data from multiple sources is demonstrating that rising CO2 of and by itself will have a tremendous effect on plant biology. This effect is widely recognized for its role in stimulating photosynthesis and growth for multiple plant species, including crops. However, CO2 is also likely to alter plant chemistry in ways that will denigrate plant nutrition. That role is also of tremendous importance, not only from a human health viewpoint, but also from a global food–web perspective. Here, the goal is to review the current evidence, propose potential mechanistic explanations, provide an overview of critical unknowns and to elucidate a series of next steps that can address what is, overall, a critical but unappreciated aspect of anthropogenic climate change.

Comprehensive Review of Fungi on Coffee. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11040411.

Abstract
Coffee is grown in more than 80 countries as a cash crop and consumed worldwide as a beverage and food additive. It is susceptible to fungal infection during growth, processing and storage. Fungal infections, in particular, can seriously affect the quality of coffee and threaten human health. The data for this comprehensive review were collected from the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) website and published papers. This review lists the fungal species reported on coffee based on taxonomy, life mode, host, affected plant part and region. Five major fungal diseases and mycotoxin-producing species (post-harvest diseases of coffee) are also discussed. Furthermore, we address why coffee yield and quality are affected by fungi and propose methods to control fungal infections to increase coffee yield and improve quality. Endophytic fungi and their potential as biological control agents of coffee disease are also discussed.

Catarino ICA, Monteiro GB, Ferreira MJP, Torres LMB, Domingues DS, Centeno DC, Lobo AKM, Silva EA. Elevated [CO2] Mitigates Drought Effects and Increases Leaf 5-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid and Caffeine Concentrations During the Early Growth of Coffea Arabica Plants. FRONTIERS IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS 2021.

Abstract
Increasing atmospheric [CO2] is thought to contribute to changes in precipitation patterns, increasing heatwaves and severe drought scenarios. However, how the combination of elevated [CO2] and progressive drought affect plant metabolism is poorly understood. Aiming to investigate the effects of this environmental condition on photosynthesis and specialized metabolites in leaves of Coffea arabica during the early growth, plants fertilized with ambient (a[CO2]-400 ppm) and elevated (e[CO2]-800 ppm) [CO2] were exposed to well-watered (WW) or water-deficit (WD) regimes for 40 days. Over the 40-day-water-withdrawal, soil moisture, and leaf water potential decreased compared to WW-condition. Elevated [CO2] stimulates CO2 assimilation (A) and intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) even under WD. Drought condition slightly changed stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) regardless of [CO2] compared to WW-plants. Total soluble amino acid concentration did not change significantly, while total phenolic compounds concentration decreased under e[CO2] regardless of water regimes. The combination of e[CO2]+WD increased the 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA) and caffeine amounts by 40-day when compared to a[CO2]+WD plants. Altogether, these results suggest that e[CO2] buffers mild-drought stress in young C. arabica by increasing A, iWUE and stimulating changes in the leaf contents of 5-CQA and caffeine.

Transcriptomic Leaf Profiling Reveals Differential Responses of the Two Most Traded Coffee Species to Elevated [CO 2]. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21239211.

Abstract
As atmospheric [CO2] continues to rise to unprecedented levels, understanding its impact on plants is imperative to improve crop performance and sustainability under future climate conditions. In this context, transcriptional changes promoted by elevated CO2 (eCO2) were studied in genotypes from the two major traded coffee species: the allopolyploid Coffea arabica (Icatu) and its diploid parent, C. canephora (CL153). While Icatu expressed more genes than CL153, a higher number of differentially expressed genes were found in CL153 as a response to eCO2. Although many genes were found to be commonly expressed by the two genotypes under eCO2, unique genes and pathways differed between them, with CL153 showing more enriched GO terms and metabolic pathways than Icatu. Divergent functional categories and significantly enriched pathways were found in these genotypes, which altogether supports contrasting responses to eCO2. A considerable number of genes linked to coffee physiological and biochemical responses were found to be affected by eCO2 with the significant upregulation of photosynthetic, antioxidant, and lipidic genes. This supports the absence of photosynthesis down-regulation and, therefore, the maintenance of increased photosynthetic potential promoted by eCO2 in these coffee genotypes.
