Growth parameters of backcross-derived Elaeis oleifera (Kunth) Cortés from Taisha - Ecuador and their potential for plant breeding in oil palm

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2022
The palm Elaeis oleifera from Taisha was first described in 1986, but remains a valuable genetic resource to be evaluated, as it may be important for obtaining high-yielding hybrid genotypes and good-quality oil.

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.

Morphoanatomic and histochemical aspects of Elaeis oleifera (Kunth) Cortés seed [PDF]

Journal of Seed Science, 2020
Abstract: Elaeis oleifera is an oleaginous palm tree native to America. The fruit contains unsaturated fatty acid extracted from the mesocarp. The species is mainly used in breeding programs of E. guineensis in development of interspecific hybrids with higher oil yield and resistance to lethal yellowing. E.
