AB - Climate change threatens coconut palms (Cocos nucifera), a vital tropical crop supporting millions, with yields projected to drop nearly 50%. We assessed drought tolerance in over four thousand trees from the world’s largest coconut collection in Côte d'Ivoire, using 30 years of yield and climate data. Our reaction norm modelling approach revealed substantial variation in drought tolerance and a potential trade-off with yield. Using a quantitative genomic approach, we identified a substantial heritable component, highlighting the potential for genomic selection approaches in breeding climate-resilient coconuts.
