METHODS FOR OBTAINING HIGH-YIELDING OIL PALM PLANTS

Methods are provided for obtaining a high-yielding oil palm plant, comprising determining the level of a metabolite in mesocarp tissue of a fruit of a parental oil palm plant 11 to 23 weeks after pollination thereof, determining whether there is a difference between this level and the level of the m...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Methods are provided for obtaining a high-yielding oil palm plant, comprising determining the level of a metabolite in mesocarp tissue of a fruit of a parental oil palm plant 11 to 23 weeks after pollination thereof, determining whether there is a difference between this level and the level of the metabolite in mesocarp tissue of a fruit of a reference oil palm plant, also 11 to 23 weeks after pollination thereof, wherein the difference is that the level of the metabolite is at least 15% higher, or at least 5% lower, for the parental oil palm plant relative to the reference oil palm plant, and selecting progeny of the parental oil palm plant based on the difference to obtain the high-yielding oil palm plant. Also provided are methods for predicting oil yield of a test oil palm plant and kits for obtaining a high-yielding oil palm plant.
