“…7) Developing diagnostic tools for predicting genetic predisposition to abnormality. These include global gene expression analysis via DNA microarray, genetic mapping and candidate gene approach (Wahid et al, 2004;Morcillo et al, 2006). 8) Cloning a large pool of selected palms with different genetic background (genotypes) as there are genetic/clonal differences in susceptibility/tolerance to the mantling abnormality (Soh et al, 2011).…”

Somaclonal variation refers to any phenotypic or genotypic modifications that arise from in vitro culture. In the oil palm, it is characterized by fruit mantling and abnormal vegetative growth. Tissue culture remains the only means of micro propagation of oil palm as its biological characteristics do not allow for vegetative propagation by conventional means. The early success of plantlets production inspired many oil palm organizations to explore in vitro propagation technique. Though oil palm tissue culture is already well established, it is still faced with many challenges. Prominent among them is somaclonal variation which was first reported in 1986. They are only detectable when the palms start flowering; that is, after two to three years in the field. It has not been possible to fully eliminate or circumvent floral abnormality in the oil palm. However, the adoption of several measures such as reducing hormone level, avoiding fast growing callus and, reducing culture period, have reduced the problem to manageable levels of < 5%. Possible causes and factors influencing somaclonal variation in the oil palm are discussed.

“…The oil palm produces seven times more vegetable oil per hectare than soybean which is the largest source of edible vegetable oil in the world (Ndon, 2006). The major centre of oil palm production is in South East Asia with Malaysia and Indonesia together accounting for around 83% of world palm oil production in 2001 (Wahid et al, 2004).…”

“…Tissue culture technique is beneficial for individual propagation of oil palm having high productivity and/or certain trait of interest. The tissue culture technique can increase oil palm production by 30% compared to the commercial seed Dura X Pisifera (DXP) on a large scale field trials (Cochard et al 1999;Wahid et al 2005). Tissue explants of oil palm resulted from in vitro culture are developed through callus formation or normally termed as indirect embryogenesis (Te-chato & Hilae 2007).…”

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is one of the most important oil-bearing crop in the world. This crop can be vegetatively propagated only using tissue culture technique. Oil palm tissue culture technique has low efficiency, with callogenesis and embryogenesis stages as the limiting factors. Genetic factor has a major role in determining the success rate of these two stages. The use of molecular markers which represent the rate of embryogenesis or callogenesis has the potential to improve the efficiency of oil palm tissue culture process. In this study, SNP mining was conducted on embryogenesis transcriptome data, oil palm cDNA database, oil palm genome database, and oil palm SNPs marker database in NCBI. Â The objective of this study was Â to obtain SNP marker which represents the embryogenesis potential, to be further used in marker assisted selection of oil palm ortets. One SNP (EMB6) showed significant association with embryogenesis rate. This SNP was found in one of Auxin Response Factor (ARF) family gene. Nucleotide replacement from Adenine to Guanine changed the 307th amino acid from Isoleucine to Methionine. Oil palms with Adenine homozygote (A/A) pattern on the EMB6 showed 8-fold higher chance to produce significantly higher embryogenesis rate than Adenine-Guanine heterozygote (A/G).
