From Trinidad and Tobaggo to the ESRF

Caption

The scientists - here Hester Blommaert, Phd at the University Grenoble Alpes- travelled to the International Cocoa Genebank in Trinidad and Tobago, which hosts a field cacao collection with approximately 2400 cacao genotypes, to collect their samples in collaboration with the Cocoa Research Centre. Then they came to the ESRF to investigate a particular cacao cultivar/variety that absorbs more cadmium than others do.
