Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 256-267, January 2023., 2023 We characterized the composition and the temporal variations of the arthropods community visiting female and male inflorescences of the palm Phytelephas aequatorialis. We report 59 morphospecies dominated by three beetle families: Staphylinidae, Nitidulidae, and Curculionidae and 16 pollinator candidates among which nine visited both inflorescence ...

Food tree species selection for nutrition‐sensitive forest landscape restoration in Burkina Faso
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 667-684, November 2022., 2022 Modern food systems push agriculture to focus on a small number of commercial crops, while there is a very large diversity of untapped edible plants that could be used to address food security and nutrition. Poor and monotonous diets are closely linked to the complex burden of multiple forms of malnutrition and dietary risk.

Pest categorisation of Aonidiella orientalis
EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Aonidiella orientalis (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), the oriental scale, for the EU. A. orientalis is a species mostly occurring in tropical and subtropical areas. It is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072.

Basal stem rot of oil palm revisited
Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 181, Issue 2, Page 160-181, September 2022., 2022 Frond collapse in Oil Palm caused by stem rot Abstract Basal stem rot caused by Ganoderma boninense is the single major disease to affect oil palms in South Asia and Oceania. Although first described in commercial plantations some 90 years ago it remains a major constraint to oil palm planting, with disease occurence increasing with succesive plantings.

Can omic tools help generate alternative newer sources of edible seed oil?
Plant Direct, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract There are three pathways for triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis: De novo TAG biosynthesis, phosphatidylcholine‐derived biosynthesis, and cytosolic TAG biosynthesis. Variability in fatty acid composition is mainly associated with phosphatidylcholine‐derived TAG pathway. Mobilization of TAG‐formed through cytosolic pathway into lipid droplets is

Genetic architecture of palm oil fatty acid composition in cultivated oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) compared to its wild relative E. oleifera (H.B.K) Cortés. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We searched for quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with the palm oil fatty acid composition of mature fruits of the oil palm E. guineensis Jacq. in comparison with its wild relative E. oleifera (H.B.K) Cortés.
