Objective
This proposal aims at developing the methodological basis and provide the molecular tools for improving the breeding efficiency in the two perennial tropical oil crops coconut and oil palm via the establishment of high density molecular linkage maps and the mapping of Atlas for vegetative and reproductive traits. This will be achieved in collaboration with the three most important countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines) in coconut and oil palm production. The two molecular linkage maps of 1500 to 3000 markers each will rely on AFLP, micro satellite (SSR) and SNP markers and serve as reference maps for any breeding programme. Field trial systems will help to implement the marker-assisted breeding strategies. Detailed information will be made available on the internet together with information on an optimal molecular marker set, and regional workshops / laboratory courses will be organized for the dissemination of scientific progress
