Abstract: Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is propagated by commercial seeds, while the germination mechanism remains unclear. The proteomics study on oil palm embryos can help to locate critical factors of seed germination rapidly, and to provide theoretical evidence for research on seed dormancy and germination. The paper took embryos as research objects, aimed to establish the proteomics research system, and to provide theoretical basis for further succeeding studies, the regulation techniques on seed germination and the molecular assisted selection in oil palm.
