Tissue specific promoters: the importance and potential applications for genetic engineering in oil palm

Oil palm is the most prolific oil crop in the world with a productive life span of 20-30 years and this perenniality bestows significant advantages over other oil crops. However, the industry still faces a number of challenges and to ensure its future sustainability, efforts must be made to diversif...
