Froehner for Identification of Potential Markers for Aroma in Philippine-grown Coffee Varieties Daisy May C. Santos1, Angelo Joshua A. Victoria1,2, Carla Francesca F. Besa2, and Ernelea P. Cao1 1Institute of Biology, College of Science 2Philippine Genome Center (PGC) University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Philippines Aroma plays an important role in determining the market value of coffee. The Philippines produces four coffee varieties – namely, Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa for commercial use. In this study, simple sequence repeats (SSRs) linked to terpene synthase (TPS) genes were used to characterize and differentiate the Philippine coffee varieties. SSR loci were mined from the existing sequenced genome of Coffea canephora. Data mining yielded 759,747 perfect SSRs, of which 317 were linked to the aroma. Two hundred were screened using Philippine Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa samples. There were 27 loci that were successfully amplified for all specimens and showed clear polymorphisms. These were used to characterize the coffee varieties based on number of alleles and heterozygosity. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 8, while the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.18 to 0.85. There were 26 bands from 17 loci that could differentiate among varieties, of which 15 bands were unique to C. arabica (Arabica variety), three to C. canephora (Robusta variety), three to C. liberica (Liberica and Excelsa varieties), and five that were shared by C. arabica and C. canephora. This study is the first to characterize TPS-linked SSR markers in Philippine grown coffee varieties. Keywords: aroma, coffee, microsatellites, terpene synthase INTRODUCTION because it is high-yielding and tolerant to diseases (Butt and Sultan 2011). Coffea liberica has two varieties The Philippines is one of the few countries that cultivate – Liberica and Excelsa. Coffea liberica var. liberica four coffee varieties for commercial use. These are the (Liberica) is locally known as the “kapeng barako.” It is Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa coffee. Coffea characterized by its strong, woody, and bitter taste with arabica (Arabica) is considered as the world’s best a pungent aroma (N’Diaye et al. 2005). Coffea liberica coffee due to its superior taste and aroma (Vieira et al. var. dewevrei (Excelsa), on the other hand, has a sweet 2010).

Examples are terpenes, benzenoids, and small organic compounds such as alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, and esters (Del Terra et al. 2013).

The genome was split into discriminate between species, determine place of origin, 12 files – one for each of the 11 chromosomes (Chr1, ..., and determine bean quality (Agresti et al. 2008, Cheong Chr11) – with an additional file for the non-mapped reads et al. 2013, Scholz et al. 2014).

SSR markers are Mining of SSR loci consisting of at least eight repeats from short, tandem repeats of DNA present in the coding and each of the C. canephora chromosomes was done using non-coding portions of the genome (Wang et al. 2009). three SSR-mining tools with different search algorithms The abundance and highly polymorphic property of to cover as many SSR loci as possible – namely MISA SSRs make them good markers for plant genetic studies, with a dictionary approach (Thiel et al. 2003), MREPS identification of cultivars, and evaluating varieties with a with a two-phased algorithm (Kolpakov et al. 2003), and narrow genetic base (Vieira et al. 2010, Wang et al. 2009).

In other studies, Arabica DNA fingerprinting using SSR markers Prior to primer design, the predicted SSR loci were filtered has also been developed as a method to distinguish from according to the following criteria: (a) the locus must be the Robusta variety to ensure authenticity of the coffee perfect/pure (no interruptions by any base in the motif), product sold in the market (Tornincasa et al. 2010).

Growing fruit trees requires lots of things, but your efforts will be rewarded with a delicious crop of mangoes, jackfruit, bananas, or another tasty treat. To obtain good harvests, you need to understand the different environmental factors that affect the growth of trees. The natural habitat of a given tree is a combination of environmental factors favorable to its complete development. These include the physical and chemical properties of the soil, air, light, rainfall, temperature, gravity as well as other plants and animals. Elements to be observed in planting trees 1. 1. Proper care of plants and soil a. a. Choose the best place for planting b. b. Choose the best seeds that best suit the season and the soil.

  • 1. Official Name of Philippines Is Republika Ng Pilipinas (Republic of the Philippines)
    Philippines - Location Map (2013) - PHL - UNOCHA" by OCHA. Licensed under CC BY 3.0 1. Official name of Philippines is Republika ng Pilipinas (Republic of the Philippines) The Philippines consists of 7,107 islands that are categorized broadly under three main geographical divisions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Its capital city is Manila while its most populous city is Quezon City; both are part of Metro Manila. To the north of the Philippines across the Luzon Strait lies Taiwan; Vietnam sits west across the South China Sea; southwest is the island of Borneo across the Sulu Sea, and to the south the Celebes Sea separates it from other islands of Indonesia; while to the east it is bounded by the Philippine Sea and the island-nation of Palau. Its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and close to the equator makes the Philippines prone to earthquakes and typhoons, but also endows it with abundant natural resources and some of the world's greatest biodiversity. At approximately 300,000 square kilometers (115,831 sq mi), the Philippines is the 64th-largest country in the world. The Philippines has a tropical maritime climate that is usually hot and humid. There are three seasons: tag-init or tag-araw, the hot dry season or summer from March to May; tag-ulan, the rainy season from June to November; and tag-lamig, the cool dry season from December to February. The southwest monsoon (from May to October) is known as the Habagat, and the dry winds of the northeast monsoon (from November to April), the Amihan.

Barlan Jr. College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management, Lyceum of the Philippines University, Batangas City, Philippines DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v3-i8/156 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v3-i8/156 ABSTRACT This research study aimed to determine the status coffee shop business in Batangas City as basis for business operation Initiatives in terms of the profile of the coffee shop business in Batangas City, Philippines. Descriptive type of research was used in the study. Findings revealed that coffee shop businesses in Batangas City are operating in more then 3 years. With regards to personnel requirements, coffee shop managers prefer college or associate graduate with ages ranging from 21-23 years of age. Both male and female applicants are acceptable as long as they pass the process. Lack of skilled man is not a problem because they undergo training before they are allowed to be on the operation. Late arrivals of guests with respect to the reservation and those who do not showed up are not considered because managers are focusing more on those guests that are present. Employees encountered inadequate payroll problem followed by duplication of duties during the operation. Keywords: Coffee Shop, Coffee Business, Batangas City, Business Operation INTRODUCTION The development of business activities became increasingly global as numerous firms expand their operations. In a food industry, innovations amplified and there was a tremendous change in lifestyle of people.
