Karma-EgDEF1 methylation in Elaeis guineensis clonal mother palms that produced high mantling rates in the second clonal generation
The mantled phenotype in oil palm is a somaclonal variant that can only be visibly detected when the plant reaches reproductive maturity, which is...

Exploitation of ortet–ramet relationship for the development of superior cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) clones
Identification of clones with promising growth and yield characteristics remains imperative for cocoa improvement in Ghana. This study assessed the...
-
Small RNAs and Karma methylation in Elaeis guineensis mother palms are linked to high clonal mantling
The mantled phenotype is an abnormal somaclonal variant arising from the oil palm cloning process and severe phenotypes lead to oil yield losses....

Genome-wide methylome stability and parental effects in the worldwide distributed Lombardy poplar
BackgroundDespite the increasing number of epigenomic studies in plants, little is known about the forces that shape the methylome in long-lived...

GWAS determined genetic loci associated with callus induction in oil palm tissue culture
Key messageGWAS identified six loci at 25 kb downstream of WAK2, a crucial gene for cell wall and callus formation, enabling development of a SNP...

Genotype-environment interaction and stability of fiber properties and growth traits in triploid hybrid clones of Populus tomentosa
BackgroundClones provide a sensitive method for evaluating genotypic stability and detecting genotype-environment (G × E) interactions because of...

Modeling the genetic response of diameter growth in poplar hybrids growing in the center of Chile in the presence of Septoria canker
A clonal trial, including 124 hybrid poplars, was planted in the center of Chile in 2014 and Septoria canker was detected in 2016. We propose a new...

Two-stage selection in tea breeding
In breeding a clonal crop such as tea, selection is a two-stage process. In the first stage the highest yielding individual seedlings are chosen;...

Comparative analysis of SNP data and hybrid taxa information by using a classificatory linear mixed model to study the genetic variation and heritability of initial height growth in selected poplar hybrids
Advances in genomics increase the possibility of using SNP markers in selecting new parental genotypes for poplar breeding or new...

Oil Palm Tissue Culture: Fast Tracking Elite Commercial Lines
Enhancing oil palm productivity through land expansion is no longer a viable option, and thus, improving yield per hectare is the utmost priority for...
-
Tree breeding, a necessary complement to genetic engineering
The fields of tree breeding and genetic engineering can be perceived as being antagonistic towards each other—genetic engineers suggesting that tree...
