QTLs detected for PLnCR and PordER using Multi-trait QTL analysis, GenStat 14.

<p>Upper panel shows the QTL profiles at –log10 (P-value) which resulted from interval mapping scanning. The horizontal line shows the genome-wide significant threshold determined by Li and Ji (P = 3.5). Lower panel shows the QTL effects (green square) resulting from multi-trait interactions: QTL on LGD4b was affected by PLnCR (dark blue square) and PordER (light blue square) while; QTL on LGP16b only contains effect from PordER (brown square).</p

Alignment of the ENL48 (left) and ML161 (right) maps using co-segregating markers.

<p>Markers showing distorted segregation are indicated by asterisk (*) representing significance at p<0.1; (**) p<0.05; (***) p<0.01; (****) p<0.05 and; (******) p<0.0005.</p

General workflow of oil palm tissue culture. Explant (E0) is cultured to form callus (<i>C</i>) which is transferred to a new medium (C1) to form embryoids.

<p>Cultures not forming callus (<i>NC</i>) are transferred to a fresh medium (<b>E1</b>–<b>E3</b>) and undergo the same process again. Embryoids (<i>EC</i>) generated from <b>C1</b> proceed to polyembryoid culture (<b>PE1</b>–<b>PE15</b>) for the regeneration of plantlets. Callus cultures that fail to generate embryoids (<i>NEC</i>) are transferred to a fresh medium (<b>C2</b>–<b>C4</b>) and undergo the same process again.</p

Means of callusing (LnCR) and embryogenesis (binER and ordER) observed for samples tissue cultured by the different laboratories.

SSR markers mapped on both the ENL48 and ML161 parental maps and their accession numbers.

<p>Putative IDs were deduced for the SSR-containing sequences by comparing to the non-redundant protein database (Blastx for EST sequences) and nucleotide database of GenBank (tBlastx for genomic sequences). A threshold score of >80 was used to assign significant similarity.</p>a<p>Two SSR markers were mapped.</p>b<p>SSRs developed from oil palm sequences from NCBI GenBank.</p>c<p>Accession numbers of NCBI GenBank.</p>d<p>Probe Unique Identifiers (PUIDs) of NCBI Probe Database.</p
