Abstract: Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a perennial monocotyledonous tree belonging to the family Palmae, with a diploid chromosome number, 2n=32. It is recognized as the high yielding edible oil crop. In India, Andhra Pradesh (1.51 lakh ha area and 7.99 lakh tons production), Karnataka (0.38 lakh ha area and 1.01 lakh tons production), Tamil Nadu (0.28 lakh ha area and 0.05 lakh tons production), Mizoram (0.23 lakh ha and 0.09 lakh tons production) and Kerala are the principal oil palm growing states. In the present study 400 microsatellites markers were used for studying the parental polymorphism between the two Dura oil palm genotypes 240D and 281D. Out of which 19(4.75%) microsatellites were found polymorphic. So these identified Nineteen markers between these two parents were used for further studies such as linkage map construction and mapping QTL’s for various morphological traits and improve their yields.
