The publication of the oil palm genome sequence by Singh et al. (2013a) has been a major breakthrough in oil palm biotechnology. Even if considerable knowledge and molecular resources had already been made available before this date (Rival and Jaligot, 2010), the availability of the genome sequence expedited a number of research projects ranging from Genomic Selection to the deciphering of key components of yield such as sex ratio or oil synthesis. Key findings in cutting-edge areas of biotechnology will contribute to the sustainable cultivation of oil palm but only if knowledge is shared by the community of researchers and rapidly disseminated as useful innovation to stakeholders.
