Journal Article
Xie, Q., Mayes, S., & Sparkes, D. L. (2016). Preanthesis biomass accumulation of plant and plant organs defines yield components in wheat. European Journal of Agronomy, 81, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eja.2016.08.007

The preanthesis period in wheat is critical for growth of plant organs including leaves, stems, spikes and roots. However, the roles of the preanthesis biomass accumulation of plant and plant organs in yield determination are only partially elucidate...

Development and validation of a high-density SNP genotyping array for African Oil Palm (2016)
Journal Article
Kwong, Q. B., Teh, C. K., Ong, A. L., Heng, H. Y., Lee, H. L., Mohamed, M., Low, J. Z.-B., Apparow, S., Chew, F. T., Mayes, S., Kulaveerasingam, H., Tammi, M., & Appleton, D. R. (2016). Development and validation of a high-density SNP genotyping array for African Oil Palm. Molecular Plant, 9(8), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molp.2016.04.010

High-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping arrays are powerful tools that can measure the level of genetic polymorphism within a population. To develop a whole-genome SNP array for oil palms, SNP discovery was performed using deep r... Read More about Development and validation of a high-density SNP genotyping array for African Oil Palm.

BMC Genomics, 17(1), Article 289. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-016-2607-4

Background: The commercial oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) produces a mesocarp oil (commonly called ‘palm oil’) with approximately equal proportions of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs). An increase in unsaturated FAs content or iodine v...
