3.2. Polymorphism Information Content (PIC)
From the analysis using 28 marker on the four populations, it was found that the value of PIC obtained were between 0.36 to 0.70 (Table 1) with an average PIC value of 0.41. This value indicates that the SSR markers used quite informative to see the diversity among the four populations tested. However, this value is smaller than that obtained by [19] on oil palm parental population, ie from 0.58 to 0.82, and [20] who obtained the average PIC value 0.60 .
PIC values are needed to select markers to distinguish between individuals. PIC quantification is based on the number of alleles generated by a marker and the frequency of each allele in the set of genotypes tested. Polymorphism value is determined by the frequency of allele occurrence [21].
