		While in some species enzymes that are specialized for the predominant fatty acids in the tissues examined have been found, in others, enzymes that are active over a broad range were observed.
		We have isolated a cDNA clone from the developing kernel of the oil palm Elaeis guineensis which encodes a thioesterase enzyme.
		Its highest homology was to the Brassica napus oleoyl-ACP thioesterase with which it had 72% homology at the nucleotide level, over the coding region examined, and 83% identity (90% positives) at the amino acid level.

	OIL PALMS: Elaeis guineensis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Fruits develop somewhat early, already in plants just 3 years old, they appear fleshy, much like small plums, 2-3 cm long, oblong-ovoid in shape, reddish, crowded together in large clusters known as bunches, weighing 3-15 Kg.
		Uses - Fruits and seeds of Elaeis guineensis yield a valuable vegetable oil, widely employed for nutritious, cosmetic and trade purposes.
		For this reason, this palm is widely cultivated not only throughout Africa, its area of origin, but also in other countries, such as Antilles, South America, Malaysia, Indochina, etc., where it is grown in large plantations.

	Acetylation and Dimensional Stability of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Trunk and Empty Fruit Bunch Composite Boards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) trunk and empty fruit bunch particles was chemically modified using acetic anhydride achieving chemical weight gain of about 18%.
		The reacted and untreated control particles were then fabricated into laboratory sized particleboards of 13 cm diameter and 5mm thickens.
		Chemically modified oil palm empty fruit bunch and trunk particleboards significantly enhanced performance in dimensional stability compared to untreated control boards after undergoing severe water exposure trials.
