Another important interaction of the cacao tree involves its adaptation for brightly colored pods. These multicolored seed encasements, along with a delicious fleshy pulp inside, attract the attention of monkeys, squirrels and some birds. The tree relies on animals to pick its pods and carry them off for seed dispersal. The bitter taste of the seeds prevents them from being eaten and allows for the perfect placement when they are dropped yards away from the tree. Cacao tree with multiple pods. Moreover, overexpression of TcLEC2 has led to increased expression of several seed‐specific genes in leaves of cacao, that is TcAGL15 (>129‐fold), TcABI3 (>9‐fold) and WRINKLED1 (WRI1) (>10‐fold). This also increased the embryogenic competency of cotyledon explants and regeneration capacity of somatic embryos, supporting the fact that, as in many Differential Seed Dispersal by Birds of the Tree Casearia nitida (Flacourtiaceae) Henry F.

ABSTRACT Data are presented which demonstrate (1) flight patterns of frugivorous birds are responsible for directional Cacao (Theobroma cacao), known as "the food of the gods," and its main byproduct, chocolate, come from the seeds, or nibs, of a pod, the fruit of a tree native to tropical America. The cacao tree usually requires shade trees, often the so-called madre de cacao (mother of cacao), also an American native.

(West 108) Botanically, the cacao tree is a very regionally specific plant. The climate conditions are quite specific. It requires shade, a hot and humid climate, and shelter from wind. It retains its leaves year-round BIRD ACTIVITY AND SEED DISPERSAL OF A TROPICAL WET FOREST TREE' HENRY F. HOWE2 Museum of Zoology and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 USA Abstract. Feeding assemblages of birds were observed throughout a fruiting season at a Costa Rican population of the rain forest tree Casearia corymbosa in order to distinguish effective Seed dispersal. Plants disperse their seeds in lots of different ways. Some seeds are transported by the wind and are shaped to float, glide or spin through the air.. Plants growing near a river One of the main drivers of tropical forest loss is their conversion to oil palm, soy or cacao plantations with low biodiversity and greatly reduced carbon storage. Southeast Asian cacao plantations are often established under shade tree cover, but are later converted to non-shaded monocultures to avoid resource competition. We compared three co-occurring cacao cultivation systems (3 replicate Researchers examined the seed-dispersing behavior of western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in southeastern Guinea while interviewing area farmers. They found that chimps feeding at cacao plantations in turn “planted” cacao seeds in agricultural fields and forests when they deposited them in their feces.
