Association of SNP markers with height increment in two MPOB-Angola oil palm populations, Malaysia

Low height increment is a desired trait in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) breeding. Palms with low height increment have the advantage of facilitating fruit harvesting and extending the economic life of the oil palm. The natural oil palm germplasm collected from Angola has high genetic variation in h...
