Haiti once produced half the world's coffee. The lush, shade-covered mountainsides provided an ideal environment for imported Arabica trees. Today, Haitian coffee barely registers in global surveys.

Researchers in Italy pieced together the most complete genetic map yet of Arabica coffee, the world's most popular drink. The new insights into the plant's genetic make-up will help in the ...

Researchers have mapped the DNA genome of the Coffee arabica plant, which is the only variety grown in Australia. It means scientists have figured out which genes create each coffee trait.
