An Update of Oil Palm Haploid Technology: MPOB’s Experience
A haploid (H) oil palm containing only one complete set of chromosomes (n=16) will shorten the oil palm conventional breeding cycle, which is currently 15 to 25 years. The haploid palm can be utilised to produce completely homozygous doubled haploid (DH) lines in a single generation. As this is an interesting area of research, we […]
