METHOD FOR IDENTIFICATION OF A MOLECULAR MARKER LINKED TO THE SHELL GENE OF OIL PALM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of genetic mapping of a tenera selfed palm in order to find a marker linked to the shell gene. The said method utilizes both co - dominant RFLP and SSR, SNP and dominant AFLP markers. Accordingly, a dense genetic map sufficient for establishing linkage relationships between the mapped markers and the traits of interest (shell gene) is achieved.
