Scientists have unravelled the genetic secrets of coffee in a discovery they say paves the way for more flavoursome brews.

Researchers in Italy pieced together the most complete genetic map yet of Arabica coffee, the world's most popular drink.

The new insights into the plant's genetic make-up will help in the breeding of new coffee crops.
And it may lead to coffee plants that can cope better in a warming world.
