Biomarkers: finding a niche in oil palm tissue culture. part 1 – laying the foundation. Oil Palm Bulletin, 53. pp. 36-48. ISSN 1511-7634 (2006)
Abstract
The poor embryogenesis rate in oil palm tissue culture has ignited interest in the study of somatic embryogenesis. There is a need to understand the mechanisms involved in determining the embryogenic potential of the material in culture. Research was tailored to initially elucidate the differences between embryogenic calli (EC) and non-embryogenic calli (NEC). As both EC and NEC were found to be distinctly different, this implies that their gene expressions are differentially regulated as well. Studies in other areas have successfully used gene expression patterns to classify and predict outcomes of specific conditions. This then led to a concerted effort to isolate and characterize the genes related to somatic embryogenesis. Part 1 of this paper basically concentrates on detailing some of the differences found between embryogenic cultures and their non-embryogenic counterpart.
