A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis designed for a multi-parent population was carried
out and tested in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.), which is a diploid cross-fertilising …

Abstract Background Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) is well suited to a perennial crop like
oil palm, in which the economic products are not produced until several years after planting …

GWAS in out-crossing perennial crops is typically limited by insufficient marker density to
account for population diversity and effects of population structure resulting in high false …
