AMELONADO [VAR] Group Name Theobroma cacao

Hall, C.J.J. van (1932)
Cacao (2nd Ed). Macmillan, London.

Van Hall, 1932a [HAL32A]. Fruits - broad, short sometimes with a blunt, sometimes acuminate apex, may or may not be bottlenecked, smooth with ten ridges.

Notes: Used to describe a particular fruit shape (Span.-like a melon).

Van Hall, 1932a [HAL32A]. Amelonado type defined as broad, short fruits sometimes with a blunt, sometimes acuminate apex. May or may not be bottlenecked. Smooth fruit wall with ten ridges.

Bartley, 1993a [BAR93A]. The term AMELONADO refers to the shape of the pod and thus should not be used as a variety name without some additional information on its origin or description (e.g. WEST AFRICAN AMELONADO" or "RED AMELONADO". Unfortunately there are many instances where the name "AMELONADO" is used in germplasm collections and there is no further information on the origin of the material. In many of these cases, the material is assumed to be WEST AFRICAN AMELONADO although the material has resulted from open pollinations and therefore not show the typical characteristics (See AMELONADO [MAY]).

French Guiana - CIRAD. A description of two expeditions to collect and study wild cacao trees in south-east French Guiana. The first expedition, in 1987, covered the upper course of Camopi and Tampok rivers whereas the second expedition, in 1990, covered the upper course of the Oyapock river. At total of 176 mother trees, belonging to 15 populations, were collected as pods or budwood sticks. A description of the environments where cacao trees were found is given. These environments included banks of streams, swamps, pinotieres and cacao forests. The material collected is morphologically different to Lower Amazon Forastero cacao, especially with regard to pod characteristics. The possible origins of this cacao are discussed in relation to Pleistocene forest refuges.

Notes

Malaysia - Quion Hill, Sabah and Ulu Dunsun, Sandakan Datafile: DIS_VSDS - Disease reaction to VSD Descriptors: Resistance to infections from Vascular Streak Dieback Environment: Set 1 assessed at Quoin Hill at seedling stage in a nusery with the source of natural inoculum from surrounding infected mature fields. Sets 2 and 3 were evaluated at the mature tree stage. Germplasm: 79 hybrids evaluated in three sets. Set 1 consists of Sabah mixed hybrids raised specifically for this purpose at Quoin Hill, Sabah. Sets 2 and 3 are progeny trials established at Quoin Hill, Sabah and Ulu Dunsun, Sandakan respectively. Experimental conditions: VSD disease severity was recorded at intervals of one to two months throughout the epidemic period or at longer intervals throughout the rest of the year. Apparent infection rate (r or ADPC (area under disease progress curve)) are used as criteria to compare differences in the resistance of the hybrids. r is obtained by regressing In(1/1 - x) against time in months where x is the disease severity index. Differences between any two r values is tested using a t - test. ADPC is calculated and analysed using analysis of variance.
