Genetic Diversity of Commercial Oil Palm Seed Production Parents

A genetic diversity analysis was performed on 2039 dura seed palms and 25 pisifera pollen parents using eight Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers. The heterozygosity of the pisifera germplasm (mostly AVROS) was higher than the Deli dura seed palms. Variation was found in heterozygosity among the Deli dura progenies, selected for seed production. As expected, […]
