Genetic Distance Between 47 Accessions Of Palm Oil’s Germplasm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Introduction From Cameroon Based On Morphological Character

Abstract

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a plantation commodity that has an important role in various aspects of life in Indonesia, especially aspects of the domestic economy. This is supported by the increasing demand for world palm oil for food needs (edible oil), industrial (oleochemical), and alternative energy sources based on biodiesel. Efforts can be made through the characterization of oil palm introduced from outside. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the genetic distance between the palm oil accessions introduced from Cameroon based on morphological characters to enrich the genetic. This
