Summary: Hybrids between caiaué and oil palm (IEH OxG) are explored in genetic improvement with the main objective of associating the high palm oil productivity of oil palm with resistance of caiaué to Bud Rot disease. In addition, caiaué has better oil quality and greater resistance to some pests and diseases than oil palm and these characteristics are transmitted to the hybrid between species. Híbridos interespecíficos de caiaué com dendezeiro (HIE OxG) são explorados no melhoramento genético com objetivo principal de associar a alta produtividade em óleo de palma do dendezeiro com a resistência do caiaué a anomalia Amarelecimento Fatal.
