“…Aromatic Green Dwarf (AROD) is a one-of-a-kind accession endemic to Thailand that is mentioned in Figure 2 [106]. The liquid endosperm of this accession has a characteristic 'pandan-like' fragrance, and Saensuk et al (2016) used transcriptome sequencing to discover the genetic basis for this feature.…”

Coconut is an economically important palm species with a long history of human use. It has applications in various food, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic products, and there has been renewed interest in coconut in recent years due to its unique nutritional and medicinal properties. Unfortunately, the sustainable growth of the coconut industry has been hampered due to a shortage of good quality seedlings. Genetic improvement through the traditional breeding approach faced considerable obstacles due to its perennial nature, protracted juvenile period, and high heterozygosity. Molecular biotechnological tools, including molecular markers and next-generation sequencing (NGS), could expedite genetic improvement efforts in coconut. Researchers have employed various molecular markers to reveal genetic diversity among coconut populations and for the construction of a genetic map for exploitation in coconut breeding programs worldwide. Whole genome sequencing and transcriptomics on the different varieties have generated a massive amount of publicly accessible sequence data, substantially improving the ability to analyze and understand molecular mechanisms affecting crop performance. The production of high-yielding and disease-resilient coconuts and the deciphering of the complex coconut genome’s structure can profit tremendously from these technologies. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the progress of coconut research, using genomics, transcriptomics, and molecular markers initiatives.

“…To support the planting of KHINA hybrid coconuts, research on cultivation, pests and diseases and others has been carried out (Bennett C P A et al 1985, Warokka J S and Mangindaan H F 1992), and less tolerant to drought (Tampake H et al 1982). A survey of coconut plantations in the North Sulawesi Province shows that 98% of coconut farmers choose the tall type for replanting coconut (Akuba R H et al 1992;Rethinam et al (2002). Farmers generally prefer tall coconut with considerations, namely (1) Tall coconut does not require intensive maintenance (Tampake H et al 1983), ( 2) More tolerant to drought (Akuba R H 1998) and bud rot disease (Hosang M L A and Lolong A A 1998, Akuba R H 1991), (3) The seedlings are cheaper, (4) Farmers dislike to planting hybrid coconut.…”

Coconut palms are classified into two types, namely Tall and Dwarf, and hybrid and semi-tall types. By breeding activities, such as the selection of coconut germplasm, evaluation and utilization in the coconut breeding program, the IPCRI-IAARD has released 52 varieties of coconut until 2022, consisting of Talls, Dwarfs, Hybrids, and Semi Tall types has been used in coconut development programs. The potential of good local tall seedlings is around 6.0 million seednuts in 37 Provinces of Indonesia. Dwarf coconut type because it is short and the fruit is small, is used for tender coconuts and coconut sugar production. The hybrid coconut varieties are more suitable for private sectors because hybrid palms require high inputs. The tall coconut varieties that are suitable as raw material for the coconut industry include are mostly planted by smallholders. The varieties of Dwarf Pandan Wangi, Dwarf Pandan Manis, Dwarf Entoq Kebumen and Kopyor coconut are very suitable for tender coconut and mixed refreshment drinks. The IPCRI-IAARD has collaborated with several private sectors to supply hybrid coconut seedlings, and help them to establish their own seed garden. Various strategies for providing Tall, Dwarf, Hybrid and Semi-Tall coconut seedlings are expected to increase coconut production and productivity, and can supply raw material to coconut industry.

“…Additionally, hybrids such as the Maypan coconut, a crossbreed of Malayan Dwarf and Panama Tall, combine attributes of both tall and dwarf varieties. ,, Tall varieties are typically utilized in industrial applications including oil and coir production, whereas dwarf varieties are preferred for direct consumption due to their sweeter water and optimal fruit size for the fresh fruit market. , Despite general nutritional uniformity across varieties, subtle variations exist in water sweetness, meat texture, and oil content; younger coconuts provide sweeter water and softer meat, whereas mature coconuts yield thicker meat suited for milk, cream, and oil production . Therefore, differences in coconut-derived products are primarily influenced by the coconut’s maturity at harvest and the processing methods used. , …”

This review investigates coconut as a sustainable and nutrient-rich plant-based alternative to traditional animal-based food sources. We have explored the nutritional profile, culinary versatility, particularly focusing on the use of coconut meat, milk, cream, and oil in diverse dietary contexts when consumed in balance. Comparative analysis with animal-derived products reveals the high content of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), essential vitamins, and minerals in coconut, contrasted with its lower protein content. Researchers have underscored the environmental sustainability of coconut, advocating for its role in eco-friendly food production chains. We have also addressed challenges like potential allergies, nutritional balance, sensory attributes, and consumer motivations for coconut-based products, in terms of understanding the market dynamics. In conclusion, this review positions coconut as a promising candidate within sustainable diet frameworks, advocating for further research to augment its nutritional value, sensory characteristics, and product stability, thereby facilitating its integration into health-conscious and eco-centric dietary practices.
