Article Synopsis
- Water deficiency and drought can significantly affect crop cultivation and productivity, particularly for oil palm, the main source of vegetable oil.
- The study tested 12 oil palm genotypes under drought stress, finding that one genotype was the most efficient in photosynthesis, followed by a hybrid and another genotype.
- Despite validating 11 drought tolerance-related genes, no genetic differences were observed, indicating that selected genotypes can guide breeding programs focused on improving oil palm resilience to drought.

Oil palm ( Jacq.) is a highly productive crop economically significant for food, cosmetics, and biofuels. Abiotic stresses such as low water availability, salt accumulation, and high temperatures severely impact oil palm growth, physiology, and yield by restricting water flux among soil, plants, and the environment.
