Development of the Syncytial Endosperm of Cocos nucifera
Nature, 1954DUTT1 has recently summarized her investigations on nuclear behaviour in the developing endosperm of Cocos nucifera. Several of her observations are at variance with statements we have previously made2,3 and with some of our more recent findings4.

Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) (Arecaceae) is ubiquitous in the tropics. In line with its intended use, this plant is given names such as "tree of heaven" and "tree of life". Coconut haustorium, which is rich in nutrients, has a nutritional composition of approximately 66% carbohydrates. Approximately 66% of the composition consists of carbohydrates, of

Twinning and Haploidy in Cocos nucifera Linn.
Nature, 1962IN the coconut, Cocos nucifera Linn., the ovary is tricarpellary and each carpel contains an ovule. Usually only one ovule develops and two abort, and although there are three depressions or ‘eyes’ in the endocarp wall of the mature fruit only one of these is a functional germ pore. From this eye normally a single shoot emerges.

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.

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.
