Abstract

The adoption of interspecific F1 hybrid cultivars between American oil palm and African oil palm (IEH-O×G) at commercial level is recent; it begun due to the demand for materials that are resistant to the fatal yellowing disease, the main phytosanitary problem for their grown in Brazil. IEH-O×G has a higher production cost due to the need for assisted pollination. This limitation increased the need for the development of new, more productive IEH-O×G, with higher bunch oil content and fresh fruit bunch yield (OC-FFB). The objective of the present work was to estimate and analyze genotypic values and genetic correlations of the main bunch characteristics, using the OC-FFB as references, and to establish bases for genetic gains in breeding programs. Thus, 840 bunches from adult plants of 39 IEH-O×G progenies were collected, grown in an area with fatal yellowing disease, and analyzed. Strong genetic correlations were found between OC-FFB and the characteristics: percentage of empty spikelets, total fruits in the bunch, and oil content in the mesocarp of normal and parthenocarpic fruits. The genotypic values of OC-FFB of the 39 progenies tested varied from 20.55% to 24.86%; the means of the best progenies were within the upper range described in the international literature for IEH-O×G, and above the average, but still far from the upper limit for genetic materials of African oil palm, which have higher levels of genetic improvement. These results indicate that interspecific hybridization between Manicoré (American oil palm) and La Mé (African oil palm) populations are favorable for the development of new IEH-O×G cultivars with high OC-FFB through direct selection, and that the correlated characteristics can be explored in indirect selections.
