Publication number: 20180346997Abstract: Methods for predicting palm oil yield of a test oil palm plant are disclosed. The methods comprise determining, from a sample of a test oil palm plant of a population, at least a first SNP genotype, corresponding to a first SNP marker, located in a first QTL for a high-oil-production trait and associated, alter stratification and kinship correction, with the high-oil-production trait with a genome-wide-log10(p-value) of at least 4.0 in the population or having a linkage disequilibrium r1 value or at least 0.2 with respect to a first other SNP marker linked thereto and associated, alter stratification and kinship correction, with the high-oil-production trait with a genome-wide-log10(p-value) of at least 4.0 in the population. The methods also comprise comparing the first SNP genotype to a corresponding first reference SNP genotype and predicting palm oil yield or the test plant based on extent or matching of the SNP genotypes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2015Publication date: December 6, 2018Inventors: Chee Keng Teh, Ai Ling Ong, Qi Bin Kwong, Sukganah Apparrow, Mohaimi Mohamed, Fook Tim Chew, David Appleton, Harikrishna Kulaveerasingam

The methods comprise determining, from a sample of a test oil palm plant of a population, at least a first SNP genotype, corresponding to a first SNP marker, located in a first QTL for a high-oil-production trait and associated, after stratification and kinship correction, with the high-oil-production trait with a genome-wide ?log10(p-value) of at least 3.0 in the population or having a linkage disequilibrium r2 value of at least 0.2 with respect to a first other SNP marker linked thereto and associated, after stratification and kinship correction, with the high-oil-production trait with a genome-wide ?log10(p-value) of at least 3.0 in the population. The methods also comprise comparing the first SNP genotype to a corresponding first reference SNP genotype and predicting palm oil yield of the test plant based on extent of matching of the SNP genotypes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2016Publication date: October 25, 2018Inventors: Qi Bin Kwong, Ai Ling Ong, Chee Keng Teh, Mohaimi Mohamed, Fook Tim Chew, David Rose Appleton, Harikrishna Kulaveerasingam

Publication number: 20180230553Abstract: Methods for predicting palm oil yield of a test oil palm plant are disclosed. The methods comprise determining, from a sample of a test oil palm plant of a population, at least a first SNP genotype, corresponding to a first SNP marker, located in a first candidate gene region for a high-oil-production trait and associated, after stratification and kinship correction, with the high-oil-production trait with a p-value <0.001 in the population or having a linkage disequilibrium r2 value of at least 0.2 with respect to a first other SNP marker that is linked thereto and associated, after stratification and kinship correction, with the high-oil-production trait a p-value <0.001 in the population. The methods also comprise comparing the first SNP genotype to a corresponding first reference SNP genotype and predicting palm oil yield of the test plant based on extent of matching of the SNP genotypes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2016Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventors: Nurliyana Ruzlan, Ainul Masni Othman, Wilonita Win, Shwu Fun Kua, Jaime Yoke Sum Low, Anusha Nair Chandran, Li Sim Ho, Norazura Anuar, Bee Aik Tan, Noor Azizah Musa, Ai Ling Ong, Hirzun Mohd Yusof, David Ross Appleton, Harikrishna Kulaveerasingam

Publication number: 20140182017Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a molecular marker for a plant physiological process and more particularly for plant embryogenesis. The molecular marker is, in one form, a genetic sequence from a monocot plant such as but not limited to oil-palm plants. In another form, the molecular marker is a polypeptide encoded by said genetic sequence. More particularly, the molecular marker of the present invention enables embryogenic tissue to be detected in vitro. The early detection of embryogenic tissue enables non-embryogenic tissue to be discarded. The ability to detect embryogenesis facilitates maximization of embryogenic potential. The present invention further contemplates a molecular marker comprising in one form a sequence of nucleotides encoding an antioxidant or in another form a sequence of amino acids defining a polypeptide having antioxidant activity. The antioxidant according to this aspect of the present invention is particularly useful in tablet or cream form as an anti-aging agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2014Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: MALAYSIAN PALM OIL BOARDInventors: Meilina Ong ABDULLAH, Harikrishna KULAVEERASINGAM
