Abstract

The current oil palm planting materials yield three times more than the figure recorded six decades ago. This was partly achieved through genetic improvement and selection procedures imposed on the oil palm breeding populations. The repeated cycles of selection applied had removed a lot of ‘unwanted’ alleles from the breeding populations. However, this might have affected the populations’ ability to withstand environmental threat and genetic gains in the future. Realizing the important role of oil palm germplasms in harmonizing these effects, several research organizations had accumulated a large number of Elaeis guineensis and Elaeis oleifera accessions from their centers of origin. These materials exhibit greater genetic diversity and can offer genes for many economically important traits valuable for future oil palm improvement. These potential germplasm materials should be strategically conserved to ensure effective and continuous accessibility, in line with the long-term breeding cycle of the oil palm. Core collection can effectively preserve the genetic diversity of the oil palm germplasms. Apart from maintaining the genetic resources in the living ex situ field plots, in vitro methods of storing genetic materials within smaller size facilities are also available. These methods offer conservation of high numbers of materials, protection from diseases and low cost of maintenance. Both, the ex situ and in vitro methods provide complementary means for effective long-term conservation of the oil palm genetic materials for posterity.
