Characterizing haploinsufficiency of SHELL gene to improve fruit form prediction in introgressive hybrids of oil palm
The fundamental trait in selective breeding of oil palm (Eleais guineensis Jacq.) is the shell thickness surrounding the kernel. The monogenic shell thickness is inversely correlated to mesocarp thickness, where the crude palm oil accumulates. Commercial thin-shelled tenera derived from thick-shelle...
