Dwarf × Dwarf Coconut Hybrids from ‘Annur’ Ecotype: A Rare Combination of Short Stature of the Palm with Nut Quality

Christy George & R. Sujatha · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2025

The cultivars of coconuts (Cocos nucifera L.) are divided into two main groups: tall and dwarf. Tall palms are widely grown owing to their higher yield and superior nut traits. The most popular tall cultivar in Kerala is West Coast Tall (WCT). However, as the palm grows to a heig...

Promising Novel Coconut Hybrids (TxT and DxT) with Ayiramkachi as a Common Parent

Christy George & R. Sujatha · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2025

Hybridization is a key strategy for improving coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) productivity. However, the genetic potential of indigenous semi-tall varieties remains largely unexplored. This study evaluated nine novel F1 hybrids developed using the semi-tall genotype ‘Ayiramkachi’ (AY...
