  • Oil Palm Breeding

    Genetics and Genomics

    The oil palm is a remarkable crop, producing around 40% of the world’s vegetable oil from around 6% of the land devoted to oil crops. Conventional breeding has clearly been the major focus of genetic improvement in this crop. A mix of improved agronomy and management, coupled with breeding selection have quadrupled the oil yield of the crop since breeding began in earnest in the 1920s. However, as ... Leer más

  • Genetic Diversity and Erosion in Plants

    Case Histories

    Edición de M.R. Ahuja, S. Mohan Jain ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Genetic erosion is the loss of genetic diversity within a species. It can happen very quickly, due to catastrophic events, or changes in land use leading to habitat loss. But it can also occur more gradually and remain unnoticed for a long time. One of the main causes of genetic erosion is the replacement of local varieties by modern varieties. Other causes include environmental degradation, ... Leer más
