Epigenetic mechanisms are highly dynamic events that modulate gene expression. As more
accurate and powerful tools for epigenetic analysis become available for application in a …

Background The large-scale clonal propagation of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is being
stalled by the occurrence of the mantled somaclonal variation. Indeed, this abnormality …

We developed an efficient and simple system for inducing somatic embryogenesis and
regenerating plantlets from mature zygotic embryos of oil palm. Embryogenic calli were …

Abstract Background The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a perennial
monocotyledonous tropical crop species that is now the world's number one source of edible …

Background Yellow horn (Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge) is an oil-rich seed shrub that grows
well in cold, barren environments and has great potential for biodiesel production in China …

Tissue culture comprises several techniques for the mass propagation of selected
genotypes. In the case of palms, the most promising and efficient micropropagation …

The SPL (SQUAMOSA-promoter binding protein-like) gene family is one of the largest plant
transcription factors and is known to be involved in the regulation of plant growth …

Abstract The African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), which is grown in tropical and subtropical
regions, is a highly productive oil-bearing crop. For gene expression-based analyses such …

Elaeis guineensis (oil palm) accounts for a large and increasing proportion of the world's
cooking oil production. Cloning via somatic embryogenesis results in a somaclonal variant …

A somatic embryogenesis protocol was developed from the immature leaves of adult plants
of the macaw palm. Leaf explants from different regions of the palm heart were used for …
