2 Introduction Cocoa evolved in the understory of the humid tropic rainforest where water limitation is not a common occurrence. Cocoa trees are therefore very susceptible to water stress. However, in many regions where cocoa is grown today, a dry season is common. They can tolerate a short dry period of about 3 months but prolonged periods of dry conditions can reduce bean yields.
3 Climate Change According to climate change predictions, changes in precipitation patterns are expected in cocoa growing regions. Drier conditions during certain parts of the year are predicted. Average minimum temperatures are also expected to continue to increase which will increase evaporation from the soil and leaf to air vapour pressure deficit.
4 Climate Change and breeding for improved productivity in cocoa The availability of water is the main environmental factor affecting cocoa yields. For this reason examining the interaction between increased CO 2 and water limitation on growth in cocoa is an important step towards breeding for improved productivity in cocoa in the face of future changes to climate.

6 Physiological effects of water shortage Reductions in photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration occur in response to water stress. Leaf expansion rate is highly sensitive to water stress in cocoa. A reduction in this parameter due to water stress influences the area over which CO 2 assimilation can occur. As chlorophyll development does not occur until cocoa leaves are fully expanded, water stress reduces further the already low photosynthetic capacity of cocoa.

8 Physiological effects of water shortage The impact of elevated CO 2 combined with water shortage on growth and photosynthesis has not yet been investigated in cocoa. In other plants, in some cases, some of the negative effects of water stress can be ameliorated by the beneficial effects of elevated CO 2 concentration. Elevated CO 2 reduces stomatal conductance, thereby improving WUE; this response can be further increased during water limitation. However, there are exceptions and species variation in responses to elevated CO 2 and water stress have been shown. An increase in WUE in water stressed cocoa may enable trees to be grown in drier regions or may help maintain growth during dry periods which would be otherwise limiting to plants under current CO 2 concentrations.
