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 is an important perennial oil crop with extremely long selection cycle of 10 to 12 years. As such, any tool that speeds up its genetic improvement process, such as marker-assisted breeding invaluable. Previously, linkage maps based on AFLP, RFLP and SSR markers were developed QTLs for fatty acid composition yield components identified. High density crosses different backgrounds are indispensable tools investigating genetics. They also useful comparative mapping analyses identify...
The commercial oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) produces a mesocarp (commonly called 'palm oil') with approximately equal proportions of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs). An increase in FAs content or iodine value (IV) as measure the degree unsaturation would help to open up new markets for oil. One way manipulate acid composition (FAC) is through introgression favourable alleles from American palm, E. oleifera, which has more In this study, segregating oleifera x (OxG) hybrid...
Oil palm breeding involves crossing dura and pisifera palms to produce tenera progeny with greatly improved oil yield. yield is controlled by variant alleles of a type II MADS-box gene, SHELL, that impact the presence thickness endocarp, or shell, surrounding fruit kernel. We identified six novel SHELL in noncommercial African germplasm populations from Malaysian Palm Board. These provide extensive diversity harness genetic, mechanistic phenotypic variation associated globally critical crop....
The Elaeis oleifera genetic materials were assembled from its center of diversity in South and Central America. These are currently being preserved Malaysia as ex situ living collections. Maintaining such collections is expensive requires sizable land. Information on the these can help achieve efficient conservation via maintenance core collection. For this purpose, we have applied fourteen unlinked microsatellite markers to evaluate 532 E. palms representing 19 populations distributed...
Abstract The genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) approach was applied to genotype selected interspecific hybrid (F 1 ) and backcross (BC 2 families of Elaeis oleifera guineensis . Genome‐wide linkage disequilibrium (LD) estimated at 150‐kb pairwise distance for r values 0.17 0.42 F BC , respectively. Single marker‐trait association analysis identified 47 markers associated with five fatty acid composition (FAC) traits (C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2 iodine value [IV]) in 12 significant linked oleic...
Oil palm is continually being improved via controlled crossing of selected palms to ensure sustainable yields and productivity. As such, correct parental assignment important as the presence illegitimates will compromise progress improvement. In present study, we determined optimal number microsatellite (SSR) markers for detection in oil crosses with high confidence. Determining assign parentage that DNA fingerprinting be cost effective routine use a quality control tool improvement...
