Quick Glance: Coffee Origins Revealed: Genome Study Uncovers Ethiopian Roots
  • Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.

  • The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.

  • The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.

  • Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.
