Theobroma cacao
Theobroma cacao，通常称为可可树，原产于中美洲和南美洲。尽管传统上在各种文化实践中用于烹饪和仪式用途，但尚未记录其特定的传统医疗用途。科学证据表明，可可豆壳提取物在低剂量下表现出抗氧化和基因保护作用，但在较高浓度下会在果蝇模型中诱导神经毒性并引起氧化还原失衡。通过PCR检测，在菲律宾导致可可萎蔫病（CWB）的病原体被鉴定为C. theobromae，而不是植原体。来自T. cacao的茶碱具有多种治疗应用，包括止咳、调节脂质和美白皮肤的效果。在巴西罗安达已识别出五种生产稳定且适合农业林业的可可克隆株系，在多年中表现出适度的产量稳定性。与T. cacao无关的重大安全问题或记录药物相互作用。

科学怎么说
- 可可豆壳提取物在较低剂量下显示出抗氧化和基因保护作用，但在较高剂量下却诱导了神经毒性并引起氧化还原失衡。
- 在菲律宾，通过PCR检测到C. theobromae是CWBD的病原体，而不是植原体。
- 可可属可可树中的茶碱具有多种治疗和美容应用，包括止咳、调节脂质代谢和美白皮肤的效果。
- 研究在巴西朗多尼亚州的林业中识别出了五种具有较高产量稳定性的可可树克隆体，显示出跨年度的中等产量稳定性。
- 在日间亚马逊条件下，18个可可克隆株在光合作用效率和形态学上表现出显著的表型差异。
- FC豆的纤维和多酚含量较高，但蛋白质和抗氧化能力较低，而UC豆则相反，两种类型都表现出有利的巧克力特性。
- 这项研究鉴定出几种具有潜在生物控制活性的Trichoderma菌株，突显了它们在生态和生物技术方面的意义。
- 研究首次在哥伦比亚记录下Forcipomyia（Forcipomyia）pinamarensis，并注意到其存在于可可农业生态系统中。
