The Robusta species of the coffee tree is a tree between a shrub and a tall tree. It has long leaves, bright green color, trees up to 10 meters tall but with shallow roots, and slightly rounder and smaller fruits than those of Arabica coffee. It has a flat, round bean body and a straight center pit. The Robusta species has a distinctive aroma. Its flavor is distinct and intense, and its caffeine content is much higher than that of the Arabica species. Lifeasible has the potential to advance coffee quality research using next-generation sequencing and linkage genetic analysis, and we have provided new tools for analyzing coffee quality at the molecular level by analyzing the Robusta coffee genome.

Application of Robusta coffee genome analysis

Our studies on the identification of the genome sequences of Robusta coffee trees have opened new avenues of varietal improvement, deepened our understanding of the specific functions corresponding to these genes (especially those specific to coffee trees), increased the possibility of applying the results to other species, and improved diagnostic tools for plant function. At the same time, the results of the analysis of the Robusta coffee genome can be applied to coffee tree variety development and selection. This will enable us to enhance resistance to extreme environmental and biological aggressions. Our research service is invaluable in helping coffee producers develop eco-intensive agriculture.

We offer next-generation sequencing technology for Robusta coffee genome analysis

Robusta coffee has a simpler genome compared to Arabica coffee. Using next-generation sequencing technology, we identified key regulatory genes involved in coffee flavor formation. Our sequencing results can also be used to identify genes that help coffee trees overcome diseases, such as coffee rust while coping with climate change. Based on information from the Robusta coffee genome, we can help researchers or breeders develop new coffee varieties with better aroma and flavor characteristics. These varieties can be exploited to create higher economic value.
