Common Names: African oil palm
Ethnomedicinal plants host endophytic fungi with potential antiplasmodial and anticancer properties. Fungal extracts from three plants showed antiplasmodial activity and low cytotoxicity. Identified bioactive compounds could lead to new malaria treatments.
Scientists studied how oil palm responds to low temperatures using metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics. Understanding this can lead to better breeding and biotechnological strategies to improve oil palm resilience and productivity in changing climates.
