Abstract
Since oil palm Elaeis guineensis Jacq. does not breed true tissue culture-derived material is desirable for homogeneity of oil palms vis- -vis yield and growth traits as well as resistance to diseases. However sources of clonal material for oil palm growers vary in yield expectations and selling prices offered by tissue culturists hence the necessity to seek ways of identifying clones particularly in the case of unsatisfactory performance of materials usually planted in bulk. Oil palm shoots from five different clones were screened with ten microsatellite markers. The genetic diversity observed was high He 0.605 perhaps due to intrinsic heterozygosity of oil palm in its out-crossing behaviour. The mean genetic distance among clones was average 0.506 ranging from 0.050 to 0.703. A cluster analysis using the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic UPGMA clustering method based on Nei;s 1983 genetic distance showed five different sub-clusters each grouping shoots from the same ortet. The five subclusters correspond to the five clones. These findings demonstrate that these ten microsatellite markers are potential tools for clone identification.
