The genome sequence of the African oil palm, main source production, is used to predict at least 34,802 genes, including biosynthesis genes; comparison with draft South American palm reveals that two species may have diverged in New World and segmental duplications chromosome arms define palaeotetraploid origin trees. Two papers published this issue Nature deal genetics variants one most important crops use today — Elaeis guineensis its cousin oleifera. Palm accounts for almost half edible...
Oil palm, a plantation crop of major economic importance in Southeast Asia, is the predominant source edible oil worldwide. We report identification VIRESCENS (VIR) gene, which controls fruit exocarp colour and an indicator ripeness. VIR R2R3-MYB transcription factor with homology to Lilium LhMYB12 similarity Arabidopsis PRODUCTION OF ANTHOCYANIN PIGMENT1 (PAP1). identify five independent mutant alleles over 400 accessions from sub-Saharan Africa that account for dominant-negative virescens...
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is the most productive oil bearing crop worldwide. It has three fruit forms, namely dura (thick-shelled), pisifera (shell-less) and tenera (thin-shelled), which are controlled by SHELL gene. The forms exhibit monogenic co-dominant inheritance, where a hybrid obtained crossing maternal paternal palms. Commercial production based on planting thin-shelled palms, typically yield 30% more than while palms female-sterile have little to no yield. clear that hybrids...
The advent of rapid and inexpensive DNA sequencing has led to an explosion data waiting be transformed into knowledge about genome organization function. Gene prediction is customarily the starting point for analysis. This paper presents a bioinformatics study oil palm genome, including comparative genomics analysis, database tools development, mining biological genes interest. We have annotated 26,059 integrated from two independent gene-prediction pipelines, Fgenesh++ Seqping. annotation...
Demand for palm oil has been increasing by an average of ∼8% the past decade and currently accounts about 59% world's vegetable market. This drives need to increase production. Nevertheless, due sustainable production, it is imperative productivity rather than area cultivated. Studies on genome are essential help identify genes or markers that associated with important processes traits, such as flowering, yield disease resistance. To achieve this, 294,115 150,744 sequences from...
A set of Elaeis guineensis genes had been generated by combining two gene prediction pipelines: Fgenesh++ developed Softberry and Seqping the Malaysian Palm Oil Board. PalmXplore was to provide a scalable data repository user-friendly search engine system efficiently store, manage retrieve oil palm sequences annotations. Information deposited in includes predicted genes, their genomic coordinates, as well annotations derived from external databases, such Pfam, Gene Ontology Kyoto...
Elaeis guineensis and E. oleifera are the two species of oil palm. is most widely cultivated commercial species, introgression desirable traits from ongoing. We report an improved genome assembly with substantially increased continuity completeness, as well first chromosome-scale assembly. Each was obtained by integration long-read sequencing, proximity ligation optical mapping, genetic mapping. High interspecific conservation observed between species. The study provides extensive gene...
Comparative genomics and transcriptomic analyses were performed on two agronomically important groups of genes from oil palm versus other major crop species the model organism, Arabidopsis thaliana. The first analysis was gene families with key roles in regulation quality particular accumulation oleic acid, namely stearoyl ACP desaturases (SAD) acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterases (FAT). In both cases, these found to be large complex expression profiles across a wide range tissue...
Abstract Acyl-CoA-binding proteins (ACBPs) are involved in binding and trafficking acyl-CoA esters eukaryotic cells. ACBPs contain a well-conserved acyl-CoA-binding domain. Their various functions have been characterized the model plant Arabidopsis and, to lesser extent, rice. In this study, genome-wide detection expression analysis of were performed on Elaeis guineensis (oil palm), most important oil crop world. Seven E. identified classified into four groups according their deduced amino...
