Functional characterization and optimization of LEC1 and BBM genes controlling somatic embryogenesis in order to shortening tissue culture process in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)
1. To clone LEC1 and BBM genes from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)
2. To functionally characterize LEC1 and BBM genes controlling somatic embryogenesis in oil palm during tissue culture process using Arabidopsis
3. To optimize the oil palm tissue culture condition in order to accelerate the somatic embryogenesis using genetic information of genes controlling this process
