- Can cloning oil palm trees reduce rainforest destruction?
- Demand for the oil—used in everything from food to biofuel—is so high that oil palm plants have taken over large swaths of the world's rainforests. About 40 years ago, researchers hoped to reduce rainforest destruction by cloning the highest yielding oil palm trees ( Elaeis guineensis ), thus boosting oil production.
- Could DNA modification help oil palm growers produce more oil?
- By pinning down a chemical modification of DNA that leads to poor oil production, researchers may help oil palm (above) growers produce more oil on less land. Melina Ong Abdullah/MPOB That vegetable oil in your kitchen cabinet comes at a price.
- Should the oil palm industry use nanotechnology?
- The oil palm industry should explore and use nanotechnology for holistic management and beneficiation of the industry, which includes down, middle and upstream industries.
- Why did Sri Lanka ban palm oil?
- The ban aims to shift the country towards more sustainable agricultural practices and protect Sri Lanka’s natural resources. In addition, by diversifying agricultural production, Sri Lanka aims to reduce its dependence on palm oil imports and strengthen domestic industries.
- How does the oil palm industry affect the environment?
- Generation of Nanomaterials from the Oil Palm Industry As discussed earlier, the oil palm industry generates massive amounts of biomass waste, and improper handling of this biowaste may cause serious problems to human health and the environment.
- How can multi-omics improve oil palm research?
- Recent advancements in oil palm research have focused on using multi-omics approaches to better understand stress responses and improve agricultural practices.
