Anther Culture in Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)

2021
Doubled haploids have a high impact on the improvement of heterozygous crops through hybridization. Anther culture is a doubled haploid technique for producing homozygous lines. In coconut, a tree species reported to be recalcitrant for tissue culture, a successful doubled haploid protocol was established through anther culture.

Somatic Embryogenesis in Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)

1995
The 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).

Biochemical Properties of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) Lipase

Philippine Journal of Science, 2021
Ubiquitous in nature, lipases represent an example of enzymes with high versatility. Plant seeds are potential sources of lipase, and they are attracting more attention for specific purposes. In this study, coconut lipase was isolated from germinating coconut seed.

Somatic Embryogenesis in Cocos nucifera L.

2016
In 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.

Heterosis breeding in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2004
A total of twenty four coconut hybrids comprising of twelve direct (Tall x Dwarf) and their reciprocals (Dwarf x Tall) involving three tall varieties viz., East Coast Tall, Cochin China and Siam with seven dwarf varieties were studied for the manifestation of heterosis for nut and yield characters. The result revealed that high- degree of heterosis was

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.): Micropropagation

1990
Despite 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.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.): Anther Culture

1990
Coconuts are grown extensively in the tropics, and millions of people depend on the crop for their livelihood. However, the productivity of coconut trees is generally low, despite the fact that many efforts have been made to improve their yield potential.

Nutrient composition of kopyor coconuts (Cocos nucifera L.)

Food Chemistry, 1996
Kopyor coconuts (matured coconuts with broken meat particles in the watery endosperm due to abnormal formation of the kernel during the development of the fruits) were analysed for their proximate composition, minerals, vitamins, dietary fibres, sugars, organic acids, fatty acid composition and amino acid profile.

Cocos Nucifera L.

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
