Genotyping by sequencing for the construction of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) genetic linkage map and mapping of yield related quantitative trait loci.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the major oil-producing crops. Improving the quality and increasing the production yield of oil palm have been the primary focuses of both conventional and modern breeding approaches. However, the conventional breeding approach for oil palm is very challenging due to its longevity, which results in a long breeding cycle. Thus, the establishment of marker assisted selection (MAS) for oil palm breeding programs would speed up the breeding pipeline by generating new oil palm varieties that possess high commercial traits. With the decreasing cost of sequencing, Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) is currently feasible to many researchers and it provides a platform to accelerate the discovery of single nucleotide polymorphism (SN
