Expression of fatty acid and triacylglycerol synthesis genes in interspecific hybrids of oil palm

Abstract Evaluation of transcriptome data in combination with QTL information has been applied in many crops to study the expression of genes responsible for specific phenotypes. In oil palm, the mesocarp oil extracted from E. oleifera × E. guineensis interspecific hybrids is known to have lower pal...
