CLONAL OIL PALM – OIL PALM BULLETIN

Genes controlling flowering: possible roles in oil palm floral abnormality

Floral abnormality in clonal oil palm results in bunch failure and a reduction of oil yield. An in-depth study of oil palm flower development is important to understand the factors involved in this phenomenon. Based on the success of flower development studies of Arabidopsis and rice, efforts have been directed at investigating oil palm flower […]

Improving the efficiency of oil palm tissue culture

Planting clones seems to be the best approach to higher yield. Although the oil palm has been cloned for some years now, the production is still vastly below demand due to inefficiency at some of the cloning stages. This article describes some technologies developed by MPOB to improve oil palm cloning – liquid culture, efficient […]
