Abstract

Given the long duration and heterozygous nature of coconut palm, application
of traditional breeding techniques are cumbersome and time consuming in
coconut. There exists a tremendous potential for utilization of biotechnological
tools for improvement of coconum especially in the areas of embryo culture
for safe germplasm exchange, cryopreservation for conservation of
germplasm and molecular markers for diversity studies and hybrid
authentication.
