Two evolutionary histories in one nucleus: genome remodeling and allelic regulation underlying heterosis in hybrid oil palm
2026-08-31
Abstract excerpt
Oil palm (Elaeis) is the primary source of global vegetable oil. Interspecific hybrids of Elaeis exhibit pronounced heterosis by integrating two distinct subgenomes into a single nucleus, effectively combining the high yield of African oil palm (E. guineensis) with the high unsaturated fatty acid content and disease resistance of American oil palm (E. oleifera). However, the genetic basis underlying heterosis is s...
