Abstract

Palm oil has supplied more than 30% of vegetable oil consumption worldwide. Rising demand has pushed oil palm plantations to increase the yield. It is well known that genetic has played a significant role in phenotypic performance. Moreover, in recent years, genomic data has emerged tremendously. Unfortunately on the gene related to oil palm yield. Therefore, a preliminary study to classify and select oil palm candidate genes associated with characteristic by scanning existing genes in oil palm or other in-silico species were conducted. Based on Blast2Go results, 22 genes related to oil biosynthesis, two specifically related to fruit number and fruit weight were analysed. Furthermore, 19 candidate genes were able to amplify.

Abstract

Oil palm has a high economic value since it is one of the highest vegetable oil-producing plants compared to other oil-producing plants. The provision of good planting material for oil palm plantations is one of the determining factors to increase productivity. The parent Pisifera type of oil palm is important to develop the high-yielding oil palm Tenera varieties. The provision of oil palm material could be done through generative system with seeds and also could be done through vegetative approaches using tissue culture techniques. It aims to get plants that are genetically the same as their parents (true to type). The purpose of this study was to see the effect of different type of tissue culture media and plant growth regulators (PGR’s) on the callus induction stage of Pisifera type oil palm. The results show that the treatment using Murasige and Skoog (MS) culture media is able to give a better effect when compared to the use of Eeuwens and Blake (Y3) basic media. While the use of PGR treatment (H6 = NAA 6 mg/l + 2.4-D 0.5 mg/l) showed a callus growth percentage of 76%, which was better than (H1 = Kin 0.1 mg/l + 2.4-D 100 mg/l) by 42%.

Abstract

Stenochlaena palustris, commonly known as pakisan weed, poses significant challenges in oil palm plantations due to its highly invasive nature, which can lead to reduced agricultural productivity. Management of this weed is critical, as effective control measures can inhibit its dominance and promote the proliferation of alternative weed species, thereby enhancing biodiversity within the ecosystem. This study aimed to 1) assess the effectiveness of the herbicide ammonium glufosinate, in combination with an adjuvant, for controlling S. palustris in oil palm plantations, and 2) investigate the subsequent alterations in the weed community structure following herbicide application. We employed a randomised group design (RAK), incorporating the herbicide with added adjuvants. Results showed a clear change from S. palustris to Asystasia sp. as the dominant species. Treatments K and H had the most Asystasia sp., while treatment L had the least. Furthermore, we clearly compared treatments L, K, and S to the control treatment, emphasizing the emergence of diverse species within the treatment plots. However, low levels of diversity and evenness suggest a stressed weed community, indicating that the herbicide application can disrupt existing ecological balances. This study emphasizes the importance of assessing herbicide impacts not only on targeted weed species but also on broader community dynamics, revealing a significant research gap in understanding the long-term ecological consequences of herbicide use in oil palm plantations.
