Genetic diversity is currently assessed in the ICG,T using Isozyme Electrophoresis and RAPID. The information obtained from this assessment is used for establishing a "working collection" within ICG,T containing a reduced number of clones with large genetic diversity and interesting agronomic traits. Proposals are made to integrate the results of this assessment in to the cocoa breeding strategy.
