'''''Coffea''''' is a [[genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the [[Family (biology)|family]] [[Rubiaceae]]. ''Coffea'' species are [[shrub]]s or small [[tree]]s native to tropical and southern [[Africa]] and tropical [[Asia]]. The [[seed]]s of some species, called [[coffee]] [[coffee bean|bean]]s, are used to flavor various beverages and products. The fruits, like the seeds, contain a large amount of [[caffeine]], and have a distinct sweet taste.

The plant ranks as one of the world's most valuable and widely traded [[commodity crop]]s and is an important [[export]] product of several countries, including those in Central and South America, the Caribbean and Africa. The coffee trade relies heavily on two of the over 120 species, ''[[Coffea arabica]]'' (commonly known simply as "Arabica"), which accounts for 60–80% of the world's coffee production, and ''[[Coffea canephora]]'' (known as "[[Robusta coffee|Robusta]]"), which accounts for about 20–40%.<ref name=":0" /><ref name="CoffeeProduction" /> 

Both coffee species are vulnerable to [[Effects of climate change on agriculture|shifts, caused by climate change, in their growing zones]], which are likely to result in a decline in production in some of the most important growing regions.<ref name="laderach">{{cite journal |last1=Läderach |first1=Peter |last2=Ramirez–Villegas |first2=Julian |last3=Navarro-Racines |first3=Carlos |last4=Zelaya |first4=Carlos |last5=Martinez–Valle |first5=Armando |last6=Jarvis |first6=Andy |title=Climate change adaptation of coffee production in space and time |journal=Climatic Change |volume=141 |issue=1 |pages=47–62 |date=26 October 2016 |issn=0165-0009 |doi=10.1007/s10584-016-1788-9 |doi-access=free}}</ref><ref name="Moat">{{cite journal |last1=Moat |first1=Justin |last2=Williams |first2=Jenny |last3=Baena |first3=Susana |last4=Wilkinson |first4=Timothy |last5=Gole |first5=Tadesse W. |last6=Challa |first6=Zeleke K. |last7=Demissew |first7=Sebsebe |last8=Davis |first8=Aaron P. |title=Resilience potential of the Ethiopian coffee sector under climate change |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317894875 |journal=Nature Plants |volume=3 |issue=7 |pages=17081 |date=19 June 2017 |issn=2055-0278 |pmid=28628132 |s2cid=6873955 |doi=10.1038/nplants.2017.81|bibcode=2017NatPl...317081M }}</ref><ref name="worland">{{cite magazine |last=Worland |first=Justin |date=21 June 2018 |title=Your Morning Cup of Coffee Is in Danger.

In any coffee crop, about 5–10% of fruits contain only a single bean. Called a [[peaberry]], it is smaller and rounder than a normal coffee bean.

When grown in the tropics, coffee is a vigorous bush or small tree that usually grows to a height of {{convert|3|-|3.5|m|ft|frac=2|abbr=on}}.

== Ecology ==
The [[caffeine]] in coffee beans serves as a [[Toxin|toxic]] substance that protects against insects and other pests, a form of natural [[plant defense against herbivory]]. Caffeine simultaneously attracts [[pollinator]]s, specifically honeybees, by creating an olfactory memory that signals bees to return to the plant's flowers.<ref name=HamoGrov17>{{cite journal |last1=Hamon |first1=Perla |last2=Grover |first2=Corrinne E. |last3=Davis |first3=Aaron P. |last4=Rakotomalala |first4=Jean-Jacques |last5=Raharimalala |first5=Nathalie E. |last6=Albert |first6=Victor A. |last7=Sreenath |first7=Hosahalli L. |last8=Stoffelen |first8=Piet |last9=Mitchell |first9=Sharon E. |last10=Couturon |first10=Emmanuel |last11=Hamon |first11=Serge |last12=de Kochko |first12=Alexandre |last13=Crouzillat |first13=Dominique |last14=Rigoreau |first14=Michel |last15=Sumirat |first15=Ucu |last16=Akaffou |first16=Sélastique |last17=Guyot |first17=Romain |date=2017 |title=Genotyping-by-sequencing provides the first well-resolved phylogeny for coffee (''Coffea'') and insights into the evolution of caffeine content in its species: GBS coffee phylogeny and the evolution of caffeine content |journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution |volume=109 |pages=351–361 |doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2017.02.009 |pmid=28212875 |bibcode=2017MolPE.109..351H |name-list-style=amp}}</ref> Not all ''Coffea'' species contain caffeine, and the earliest species had little or no caffeine content.

Caffeine has also evolved independently in the more distantly related genera ''[[Theobroma]]'' ([[cocoa bean|cacao]]) and ''[[Camellia]]'' ([[tea]]).<ref>{{cite journal |last=Denoeud |first=France |display-authors=et al. |title=The coffee genome provides insight into the convergent evolution of caffeine biosynthesis |journal=Science |date=5 September 2014 |volume=345 |issue=6201 |pages=1181–1184 |doi=10.1126/science.1255274|pmid=25190796 |bibcode=2014Sci...345.1181D |doi-access=free}}</ref> This suggests that caffeine production is an [[Adaptation|adaptive trait]] in coffee and plant evolution.

Several insect pests affect coffee production, including the coffee borer beetle (''[[Hypothenemus hampei]]'') and the coffee leafminer (''[[Leucoptera caffeina]]'').

Coffee is used as a food plant by the larvae of some [[Lepidoptera]] ([[butterfly]] and [[moth]]) species, ''[[Dalcera]] abrasa'', [[turnip moth]] and some members of the genus ''[[Endoclita]]'', including ''[[Endoclita damor|E. damor]]'' and ''[[Endoclita malabaricus|E. malabaricus]]''.

== Research ==
New species of ''Coffea'' are still being identified in the 2000s. In 2008 and 2009, researchers from the [[Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew]], named seven from the mountains of northern [[Madagascar]], including ''[[Coffea ambongensis|C. ambongensis]]'', ''[[Coffea boinensis|C. boinensis]]'', ''[[Coffea labatii|C. labatii]]'', ''[[Coffea pterocarpa|C. pterocarpa]]'', ''[[Coffea bissetiae|C. bissetiae]]'', and ''[[Coffea namorokensis|C. namorokensis]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Seven species of wild coffee amongst Kew's haul of new discoveries |work=Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew |date=22 December 2009 |url=https://www.kew.org/discover/news/seven-species-wild-coffee-amongst-kews-haul-new-discoveries |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160830012109/https://www.kew.org/discover/news/seven-species-wild-coffee-amongst-kews-haul-new-discoveries |archive-date=30 August 2016}}</ref>

In 2008, two new species were discovered in [[Cameroon]]: ''[[Coffea charrieriana]]'', which is caffeine-free, and ''[[Coffea anthonyi]]''.<ref name=cameroon>{{cite journal |last1=Stoffelen |first1=Piet |last2=Noirot |first2=Michel |last3=Couturon |first3=Emmanuel |last4=Anthony |first4=François |year=2008 |title=A new caffeine-free coffee from Cameroon. |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society|volume=158 |issue=1 |pages=67–72 |doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2008.00845.x |doi-access=free}}</ref> By crossing the new species with other known coffees, two new features might be introduced to cultivated coffee plants: beans without [[caffeine]] and [[self-pollination]].

In 2011, ''Coffea'' absorbed the twenty species of the former genus ''Psilanthus'' due to the morphological and genetic similarities between the two genera.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Davis |first1=A.P. |last2=Tosh |first2=J. |last3=Ruch |first3=N. |last4=Fay |first4=M.F. |title=Growing coffee: ''Psilanthus'' (Rubiaceae) subsumed on the basis of molecular and morphological data; implications for the size, morphology, distribution and evolutionary history of ''Coffea'' |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |date=2011 |volume=167 |issue=4 |pages=357–377 |doi=10.1111/j.1095-8339.2011.01177.x |doi-access=free}}</ref> Historically, the two have been considered distinct genera due to differences in the length of the [[Corolla (botany)|corolla]] tube and the [[anther]] arrangement: ''Coffea'' with a short corolla tube and exserted style and anthers; ''Psilanthus'' with a long corolla tube and included anthers. However, these characteristics were not present in all species of either respective genus, making the two genera overwhelmingly similar in both morphology and genetic sequence. This transfer expanded ''Coffea'' from 104 species to 124, and extended its native distribution to tropical Asia and Australasia.

The coffee [[genome]] was published in 2014, with more than 25,000 [[gene]]s identified. This revealed that coffee plants make caffeine using a different set of genes from those found in [[tea]], [[Theobroma cacao|cacao]] and other such plants.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Callaway |first=Ewen |title=Coffee got its buzz by a different route than tea |journal=Nature |date=4 September 2014 |s2cid=168085931 |doi=10.1038/nature.2014.15832}}</ref>

A robust and almost fully resolved phylogeny of the entire genus was published in 2017.<ref name="HamoGrov17" /> In addition to resolving the relationships of ''Coffea'' species, this study's results suggest Africa or Asia as the likely ancestral origin of Coffea and point to several independent radiations across Africa, Asia, and the Western Indian Ocean Islands.

In 2020, a technique of DNA fingerprinting, or genetic authentication of plant material, was proven effective for coffee.<ref name="Pruvot-Woehl">{{cite journal |last1=Pruvot-Woehl |first1=Solène |last2=Krishnan |first2=Sarada |last3=Solano |first3=William |last4=Schilling |first4=Tim |last5=Toniutti |first5=Lucile |last6=Bertrand |first6=Benoit |last7=Montagnon |first7=Christophe |title=Authentication of Coffea arabica Varieties through DNA Fingerprinting and its Significance for the Coffee Sector |url=https://academic.oup.com/jaoac/article/103/2/325/5809455 |journal=Journal of AOAC International |issn=1060-3271 |volume=103 |issue=2 |pages=325–334 |date=2020-04-01 |access-date=2021-04-01 |pmid=33241280 |doi=10.1093/jaocint/qsz003 |doi-access=free}}</ref> For the study, scientists used DNA extraction and [[Microsatellite|SSR]] marker analysis. This technique or similar ones may allow for several improvements to coffee production such as improved information for farmers as to the susceptibility of their coffee plants to pests and disease, a professionalized coffee seed system, and transparency and traceability for buyers of green, un-roasted coffee.
