Abstract EN
Coffee is one of the most important plantation crops, grown in about 80 countries across the world.
The genus Coffea comprises approximately 100 species of which only two species, that is, Coffea arabica (commonly known as arabica coffee) and Coffea canephora (known as robusta coffee), are commercially cultivated.
Genetic improvement of coffee through traditional breeding is slow due to the perennial nature of the plant.
Genetic transformation has tremendous potential in developing improved coffee varieties with desired agronomic traits, which are otherwise difficult to achieve through traditional breeding.
During the last twenty years, significant progress has been made in coffee biotechnology, particularly in the area of transgenic technology.
This paper provides a detailed account of the advances made in the genetic transformation of coffee and their potential applications.
