Summary

Studies involving Coffea arabica, grown under varying shade levels and sun exposure, have consistently highlighted leaf hydraulic conductance (KF) as a crucial obstacle to maximizing gas exchange and photosynthetic rate. Extensive research in plant evolution has substantiated the positive relationship between leaf hydraulic conductivity and photosynthesis. The core collection of Coffea sp. germplasm, curated by Cenicafé, effectively encapsulates the genetic and phenotypic diversity within the Colombian coffee collection. Yet, the variations in leaf hydraulic conductance among the accessions within this core collection remain unexplored. Consequently, leveraging this genetic resource for the purpose of breeding coffee progenies with enhanced conductance traits has remained a challenge. In this project, the leaf conductance of 42 accessions from the core collection of Coffea sp. and eight progenies derived from the Cenicafé 1 variety was qualified utilizing the evaporative flow method. The KF values reported in this research yield statistically significant findings, revealing distinct groupings among the accessions. Notably, accessions CCC16, CCC50, CCC82, CCC176, CCC427, CCC1011, CCC1045 and CCC1131 exhibited remarkably high leaf conductance. The KF of the 8 lines of the Cenicafé 1 variety showcased a range of leaf conductance levels, spanning from very high (25%), to high (37.5%) and moderate (37.5%). Importantly, none of the progeny from the Cenicafé 1 variety fell within the low conductance category, underscoring the significance of these findings for enhancing the photosynthetic performance of this coffee variety.
