Gene or Promoter Process Involved Accession No. Conclusion Reference

6 Ketothiolase Early isoprenoid

pathway

415 amino acids 1.5 kb cDNA oil
palm mesocarp 8-11 WAA

[76]

7 Serine-threonine protein kinase DQ267436 Kinase during tissue culture 1.3 kb

long 346 amino acids

[33]

8 Promoter region of four embryo-

genically up regulated genes

Embryogenesis Egpk1, EgHOX1, EgPER1,

OPSC10

[31]

9 Chitinase Ganoderma fungal

resistance

GU301271 Transcribed gene during fungal

infection

[77]

10 Proline/betaine transporter gene and

promoter region

Stress resistance to salt AB597035-

AB597036

The transporter gene exhibited
high similarity to Bet/ProT
genes especially of rice
ProT1. Exogenously applied
glycinebetaine was taken up
rapidly by roots.
