Histological reorganization and spatiotemporal distribution of cell wall epitopes during somatic embryogenesis in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)

Abstract Somatic embryogenesis is a key strategy for the clonal propagation of elite oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) genotypes. Although several protocols have been established, the structural aspects underlying the induction of embryogenic callus in this species remain unkno...

Multi-year progeny test identifies superior progenies and a biennial yield pattern in macaw palm (Acrocomia aculeata)

Abstract The macaw palm ( Acrocomia aculeata ) is a native Neotropical palm with potential for vegetable oil production, particularly for biofuel generation. However, its domestication remains incipient, and information on long-term progeny performance is still limited. This stud...
