Abstract
Inside the internationalization activities of Cenipalma, from 26 to 30 August, a technical mission, together with a group of oil palm growers, participated in the International Palm Oil Congress (Pipoc 2007). For this reason, and attending to the communication strategy of Cenipalma that looks for keeping informed the Colombian oil palm sector about technological advances showed in this kind of events, here it is presented a short review related to the biotechnology in the oil palm crop and the current situation of Cenipalma in this area of knowledge. Ten conferences and 24 posters were presented. Topics included: (i) use of transgenics for multiple purposes, including those of interest for pharmaceutical and medical industries; (ii) the necessity of transgenics in agriculture, in particular, in order to surpass phytopathological problems; (iii) isolation of genes of interest (iv) tissue culture and study of aberrant plants resulting of in vitro procedures; (v) use of molecular markers to support characterization of genetic diversity and marker assisted selection; and (vi) developments and applications of bioinformatics Dentro de las actividades de internacionalización de Cenipalma, del 26 al 30 de agosto, una misión técnica del Centro, junto con un grupo de palmicultores, participó en el International Palm oil Congress (Pipoc 2007). Por esta razón, y en atención a la estrategia de comunicación del Centro, que busca mantener actualizado al sector palmicultor Colombiano con los avances tecnológicos mostrados en este tipo de eventos, se presenta una revisión relacionada con biotecnología en el cultivo y el estado actual de Cenipalma en esta área de conocimiento. En el evento, se presentaron diez conferencias y 24 pósteres. Los temas incluyeron i) uso de transgénicos para múltiples propósitos, incluidos aquellos de interés para las industrias farmacéutica y médica; ii) la necesidad de transgénicos en la agricultura, en particular, para actuar frente a problemas fitopatológicos; iii) el aislamiento de genes de interés; iv) el cultivo de tejidos y el estudio de las aberraciones resultantes de los procedimientos in vitro; v) el empleo de los marcadores moleculares para apoyar estudios de caracterización de diversidad genética y brindar soporte en selección asistida por marcadores y vi) los desarrollos y aplicaciones generadas mediante bioinformática.
