Abstract
Foreign genes were successfully transferred into oil palm using both Agrobacterium-mediated and the biolistic methods. This recent development is expected to have a major impact on the oil palm industry since breeding for new traits is an extremely slow process. Efforts were extended to transfer the chitinase gene known to confer resistance against fungi and cowpea trypsin inhibitor CpTI gene which is effective against insect larvae for the development of oil palm with possible resistance to Ganoderma and bagworms Metisa plana respectively. Successful gene transfer was evident from both peR and Southern Blot analyses. Plants produced were mostly chimaeric. They were subsequently subjected to the respective bioassays.
