| Abstract: | Summary The presence of crown disease (cc) in the oil palm can be masked by an intermediate gene (Ic). Presence of the gene inIcic-condition results in incomplete genetic penetrance in thecc-genotypes. No penetrance is observed in theccIcIc-palms. The existance of theIc-gene complicates selection work as a testcross with accicic-genotype is required to identify the genotype of the selections. This procedure requires 3 years. |
