  • Fruit colour is a trait that affects the harvesting, and therefore oil yield, of the economically important oil palm. Here, the authors identify a gene that may control fruit colour in the oil palm and suggest that selection for this gene during early development could advance the breeding potential of this important crop.

  • Genetic mapping and whole-genome sequencing studies identify the SHELL gene (a homologue of Arabidopsis SEEDSTICK) as responsible for the three different fruit forms in oil palm (Elaeis guineesis); this has important economic implications for modulating SHELL activity to breed desired fruit forms and enhance oil yields.

  • The genome sequence of the African oil palm, the main source of oil production, is used to predict at least 34,802 genes, including oil biosynthesis genes; comparison with the draft sequence of the South American oil palm reveals that the two species may have diverged in the New World and that segmental duplications of chromosome arms define the palaeotetraploid origin of palm trees.
