Fast pyrolysis of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) waste in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor

Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Reactor with Gallium Promoted Zsm-5 Catalyst

Genome sequence of the date palm Phoenix dactylifera L

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a cultivated woody plant species with agricultural and economic importance. Here we report a genome assembly for an elite variety (Khalas), which is 605.4 Mb in size and covers >90% of the genome (~671 Mb) and >96% of its genes (~41,660 genes). Genomic sequence analysis demonstrates that P. dactylifera experienced a clear genome-wide duplication after eithe...

Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera): Protection and Remedy Food

Phoenix dactylifera belongs to the Arecaceae family; its leaves, barks, pits, fruits and pollens have antioxidant, anticancer, hepatoprotective, n europrotective, nephroprotective, gastrointestinal protective, antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, sexual improvement and antimicrobial potentials. The broad pharmacological effects of P. dactylifera may be attributed to the powerful and beneficial ing...

Pyrolysis of Softwood Carbohydrates in a Fluidized Bed Reactor

In the present work pyrolysis of pure pine wood and softwood carbohydrates, namely cellulose and galactoglucomannan (the major hemicellulose in coniferous wood), was conducted in a batch mode operated fluidized bed reactor. Temperature ramping (5 degrees C/min) was applied to the heating until a reactor temperature of 460 degrees C was reached. Thereafter the temperature was kept until the rele...

A simplified Protocol to Induce Callogenesis in Protoplasts of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Cultivars

Background: In Algeria, date palm is currently confronted to the Bayoud disease. Biotechnological tools such as protoplasts fusion can appear as an alternative to ensure rapid multiplication and improvement of this species. Objectives: Callogenesis induction in protoplasts isolated from embryogenic callus of three date palm cultivars. Materials and Methods: Some factors influencing the isolatio...
