Somatic Embryogenesis in Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)
1995The coconut palm, (Cocos nucifera L.), also given the name “tree of life” or the “tree of a hundred uses”, plays an important socioeconomic role. It is a heliophilous plant widely distributed throughout the humid intertropical zone, where it is grown on more than 10 million ha in 80 countries (Pannetier and Buffard-Morel 1986).

The coconut (Cocos nucifera L., family Arecaceae) is an important fruit tree in the world. Copra, the dried kernel, is mainly used for oil extraction. Coconut oil is one of the most important edible oils for domestic use. The oil is rich in medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) and exhibits good digestibility.

Somatic Embryogenesis in Cocos nucifera L.
2016In our coconut laboratory micropropagation has been the subject of research for nearly three decades, as this plant species is highly recalcitrant for in vitro regeneration and so far only achieved through somatic embryogenesis as the sole path for coconut regeneration.

Development of microsatellite markers in Cocos nucifera and their application in evaluating the level of genetic diversity of Cocos nucifera [PDF]
, 2013 Cocos nucifera (coconut) is an economically important tropical crop, but opportunities for molecular breeding are limited by lack of DNA sequence information for this species. Previous assessments of coconut germplasm have been conducted based solely on phenotypic data for agronomic and quality traits, due to lack of available molecular markers.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.): Micropropagation
1990Despite the increasing production of soybean and palm oils over the last two decades, coconut oil remains an important product on the world market as it is one of only two commercial sources of short-chain fatty acids with 8–14 carbon atoms. Coconut oil is thus in direct competition with only one other such source, that being palm kernel oil.
