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...

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...
-
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....

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...

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...

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...

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;...

Leaf transcriptomic signatures for somatic embryogenesis potential of Elaeis guineensis
Key messagePotentially embryogenic oil palms can be identified through leaf transcriptomic signatures. Differential expression of genes involved in...

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...

Phytohormone profiles of sterile Douglas-fir mutants and the responses to stem-injected gibberellins
Key messageSignificant differences in phytohormone profiles existed among the normal tree and two sterile mutant trees in interior Douglas-fir. Stem...

Bacterial diversity and community structure in the rhizosphere of the halophyte Halocnemum strobilaceum in an Algerian arid saline soil
Hypersaline ecosystems host a particular microbiota, which can be specifically recruited by halophytes. In order to broaden our knowledge of...

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...

Metabolome Study of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Planted in Different Environment Conditions
The growth and productivity of a crop such as the oil palm are influenced by their complex interactions with the environment. However, the...

Navigating the signaling landscape of Ralstonia solanacearum: a study of bacterial two-component systems
Ralstonia solanacearum , the bacterium that causes bacterial wilt, is a destructive phytopathogen that can infect over 450 different plant species....

Testing two chromosome doubling agents for in vitro tetraploid induction on ginger lilies, Hedychium gardnerianum Shepard ex Ker Gawl. and Hedychium coronarium J. Koenig
Polyploidization can be a way to produce new varieties in vegetatively propagated species where options on increasing genetic variability are limited...

Cloning by cuttings in Nordmann fir, Abies nordmanniana: hormonal characteristics in relation crown position, rooting competence, and orthotropism as ramets
Conifer tree species belonging to Abies are notoriously difficult to propagate vegetatively due to aging of material, slow rooting, and persistent...

Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis)
The chapter discusses, at length, the origin of Natural rubber (the “Para Rubber”), its global importance, and, distribution, early domestication of...

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...
