Two key fatty acid biosynthetic genes, stearoyl-ACP desaturase (SAD1), and acyl-carrier protein (ACP3) in Elaeis guineensis (oil palm) showed high level of expression during the period of oil synthesis in the mesocarp [12–19 weeks after anthesis (w.a.a.)] and kernel (12–15 w.a.a.). Both genes are ex...
