The present invention relates to a biomarker to determine the embryogenic potential of explants, particularly oil palm explants on tissue culture media. The biomarker relates to the use of a nucleotide sequence of a gene from oil palm , the expression of sa id sequence being used to predict the potential of the explants, particularl y leaf explants, to successfully produce embryogenic callus.
