Abstract
Oil palm tissue culture is becoming a widely used method to propagate elite commercial field planting material. An approach taken at SumBio is to use tissue culture to produce clonally propagated selected parents for semi-clonal seed production. In this procedure dura female palms were cloned using standard tissue culture protocols. The plantlets produced are then field planted and crossed with highly selected pisifera as male to produce semi-clonal tenera progeny palms i.e. one of the parents is clonally propagated to increase seed production from a proven successful cross. Palms from semi-clonal seed have normal flowering and have been field-tested extensively at multi-locational trials in Sumatra Indonesia. Although not completely clonal the semi-clonal material provides a new method for Indonesia of providing more uniform planting material and importantly this can be achieved in high numbers relatively to normal seed production where the availability of pollen and/or female inflorescences may be limited.
