  abstract = {{T}he oil palm fruit mesocarp contains high lipase activity that increases free fatty acids and necessitates post-harvest inactivation by heat treatment of fruit bunches. {E}ven before heat treatment the mesocarp lipase activity causes consequential oil losses and requires costly measures to limit free fatty acids quantities. {H}ere we demonstrate that elite low-lipase lines yield oil with substantially less free fatty acids than standard genotypes, allowing more flexibility for post-harvest fruit processing and extended ripening for increased yields. {W}e identify the lipase and its gene cosegregates with the low-/high-lipase trait, providing breeders a marker to rapidly identify potent elite genitors and introgress the trait into major cultivars. {O}verall, economic gains brought by wide adoption of this material could represent up to one billion dollars per year. {E}xpected benefits concern all planters but are likely to be highest for {A}frican smallholders who would be more able to produce oil that meets international quality standards.},
