African oil palm has the highest productivity amongst cultivated oleaginous crops. Species
can constitute a single crop capable to fulfill the growing global demand for vegetable oils …

The oil palm, originating from Africa, is the most productive oil crop species. Palm oil is an
important source of edible oil. Its current global plantation area is over 23 million ha. The …

A high-density genetic map is essential for comparative genomic studies and fine mapping
of QTL and can also facilitate genome sequence assembly. Here, a high density genetic …

Growth related traits in fish are controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTL), but no QTL for
growth have been detected in bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) due to the lack of …

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 …

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is the most traded crop among the economically
important palm species. Here, we report an extended version genome of E. guineensis that …

Oil palm is the most productive oilseed crop and its oil yield is seriously affected by frequent
drought stress. However, little is known about the molecular responses of oil palm to drought …

A recombinant inbred line mapping population of intra-species upland cotton was generated
from a cross between the drought-tolerant female parent (AS2) and the susceptible male …

Abstract Background Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis, Jacq.) is the most important source of
edible oil. The improvement of oil yield is currently slow in conventional breeding programs …
