The structure, composition and water content of a oil palm wood influence its dynamic mechanical properties. These are very important to study in relation to wood applications. The quality of oil palm wood can be improved through formalization treatment in acid and alkaline conditions and then impregnated by melamine formaldehyde. Variation of formalization time and curing temperature after impregnation on specimens were investigated. Based on physical properties and FTIR characterizations, the formalization time of both acidic and alkaline conditions with the melamine formaldehyde impregnation treatment, showed improving in physical properties of the samples after treatment and this is also indicated with a shift in wave numbers and emergenced a new functional group on FTIR spectra of the samples. The curing temperature has also led to increase density and decrease water content of the specimen, so therefore revealing a decrease of the hygroscopicity of wood.

Information of legitimacy of oil palm progenies is important to guaranty the quality and to control commercial seeds procedures. A true and legitimate cross will produce progeny which has a combination of their parent's allele. The information could be obtained early in the nursery stage through DNA fingerprinting analysis. Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) is one of DNA markers used for DNA fingerprinting, since the marker system has advantages to acquire information of allele per individual in population and efficiency diverse allele of progeny and their parents. The aim of the research is to obtain legitimacy of 12 progenies analyzing in the oil palm nursery stage. Thirteen SSR markers were used to analyze 12 crossings number of oil palm. The genotypes data by alleles of SSR inferred and quantified using Gene Marker® Software version 2.4.0 Soft Genetics® LLC and analyzed based on Mendel's Law of Segregation. The result showed based on heredity pattern of progeny and their parent's allele that progenies H were indicated genetically derived from their known parents while progenies from A and G indicated as illegitimate crossing. Probability value for legitimacy of progenies of 9 other crosses has 0.031 and 0.5. Legitimacy analysis of progeny using SSR markers could be used to control the quality of crossing material and earlier selection in the oil palm nursery.
