“…These dwarf coconut variants have become popular due to a scarcity of coconut climbers. Tebing Tinggi Dwarf (TTD), Bali Yellow Dwarf (BYD), Nias Yellow Dwarf (NYD), Jombang Green Dwarf (JGD), Nias Green Dwarf (NGD), Waingapu Red Dwarf (WRD), Raja Brown Dwarf (RBD), Sagerat Orange Dwarf (SOD), Salak Green Dwarf (SGD), and Hybrid Coconut (KHINA 1) are the noteworthy dwarf coconut kinds (Sopade, Samosir, Rival, & Adkins, 2010;Novarianto, Mashud, Samosir, & Adkins, 2014;Welewanni & Bandupriya, 2017;. In Brazil, dwarf variants are commonly employed for economic purposes.…”

The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is one of the most extensively and widely used palm trees. The coconut palm is regarded as the "tree of life," or "Kalpavriksha." Humans have been cultivating a wide range of coconut trees around the world. This study is based on analysis of secondary data on cultivation of coconut trees and its benefits. Due to increased insect infestations and a changing habitat, the lifespan of coconut trees have been affected. Coconut product market has become the fastest expanding business due to the anti-viral compounds found in it. The coconut is used to produce oils, even the shells used for craft materials. People have been using coconut trees to make brooms and woods are being used to make furniture, construction materials for dwellings, and hardwood floors. It shows the livelihood of people around the world have been changed due to the cultivation of coconut trees. Indonesia, India and Philippines are top three countries to be economically benefitted from the plantation of coconut trees. As there is high demand of coconut based products worldwide, farmers need to be made aware about this economic value for increment in production.

Palms (Arecaceae) contribute remarkable economic and environmental values to human life. However, many elite and commercial palm species are becoming critically endangered and demand immediate action to preserve their genetic resources. Cryopreservation has established itself as the definitive in vitro conservation method for recalcitrant-seeded species, such as those within the Arecaceae. Progress in this area has moved steadily forward over the last three decades with the development of various techniques for different explants and palm genotypes and for molecular testing methods to ensure genetic fidelity is maintained in the regenerants. There remains a key challenge to properly identify the components that will enable the long-term conservation of palms using cryopreservation. This review methodically analyzes the state-of-the-art cryopreservation techniques developed for palms and places them within a practical framework. This framework encompasses four underlying components, namely the tissue culture approaches required, the recalcitrant nature of the palm seed, the cryobiology and cryogenic techniques required, and fidelity assessment after cryopreservation. Through a critical analysis of this framework, further optimization of palm cryopreservation protocols and more fundamental studies on the physiological and molecular changes in cryopreserved palm tissues are recommended. The present review helps to showcase a multi-decade global attempt to preserve these mostly recalcitrant species through ex situ collections. From a conservationist’s perspective, this review hopes to stimulate awareness for further concerted efforts in the conservation of rare and endangered plant families. Meanwhile, from a managerial perspective, this work serves to inform decision-makers of the global research effort underway to improve key components of the cryopreservation program for palm species and to encourage funding bodies to appropriately allocate resources to these much-needed research areas.
