This study correlates the potential for somatic embryogenesis in cultured leaf explants of oil
palm trees with changes in the expression of hormone-responsive genes. The results show …

Demand for palm oil has been increasing by an average of∼ 8% the past decade and
currently accounts for about 59% of the world's vegetable oil market. This drives the need to …

Background The somatic embryogenesis tissue culture process has been utilized to
propagate high yielding oil palm. Due to the low callogenesis and embryogenesis rates …
