RNA-Seq of Oilpalm
Fifteen six-year-old oil palm ,named as Surat Thani 2, plants with visible female inflorescences during an anthesis stage were selected. About 250 ml (about 50 mg of Synthetic auxin, 2, 4, 5-tri-chlorophenoxy propionic acid ) of the solution was sprayed on each female inflorescence, The treatments were performed on three consecutive days during different pollination stages and again after 7 and 14 days. These anthesis stages included the stage with unopened stigma, assigned as Day After Pollination (DAP) = 0, stigma opened for one day (DAP =1),  stigma opened for two days (DAP = 2) and three days (DAP = 3). The parthenocarpy phenotype was observed two weeks, 6 weeks and at the ripening stage 18 weeks) after pollination.
