Background Genetic engineering remains a major challenge in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis)
because particle bombardment and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation are laborious …

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated
protein 9 (Cas9) system has emerged as a powerful tool for the precise editing of plant …

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.) is a prominent vegetable-oil-yielding crop. Cultivating
high-yielding oil palm with improved traits is a pre-requisite to meet the increasing demands …

CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful genome editing tool applicable to diverse plant species.
However, the application of CRISPR/Cas9-ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) in oil palm (Elaeis …

Oil palm is the most productive vegetable oil in the world for human consumptions and
industrial applications. Increasing demands of palm oil over the years have led the research …

Oil palm is a major economic crop for Malaysia. The major challenges faced by the industry
are labor shortage, availability of arable land and unstable commodity price. This has …

The protoplast system is robust and versatile for plant genetic engineering works. There are
various ways to deliver nucleic acid materials into the protoplasts, but polyethylene glycol …

In the present study we report the development of an effective and relatively efficient protocol
for protoplast-to-plant regeneration of parsnip (Pastinaca sativa L.) via indirect somatic …
