| dc.description | Recent advances in plant biotechnology have opened up tremendous opportunities for the production of novel plant varieties. The oil palm with its high productivity and perennial nature has a potential edge over most, if not all other oil crops and provides a powerful incentive for the exploitation of biotechnology. Genetic manipulation provides avenues for developing tailor-made oil qualities and compositions in the oil palm. These include the production of oils with improved functionality, industrial oils and nutraceuticals, all of which fetch a higher premium than commodity oil. The key targets for modifying oil palm are high oleic and high stearic acid oils, nutraeeutical oils enriched in palmitoleic acid and lycopene and biopolymers. The basic tools and techniques for achieving these targets have already been developed by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board and it is estimated that field testing of high oleate transgenic palms will be carried out from 2007-2010 and commercial planting will commence around 2015. | |
