Somatic embryogenesis in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) 'Deglet Nur' and 'Takerbucht' cultivars
نویسندگان
چکیده
The date palm has a pivotal role in the oasis ecosystem and it is an important food crop and commercial commodity. The cloning or protoplast fusion can increase breeding and multiplication of many varieties. Present investigation has been undertaken with the aim to develop methods for obtaining plantlets by somatic embryogenesis either from vegetative or female floral explants, as well as by the production of viable protoplasts of two cultivars, one resistant and another of high fruit quality. Also to develop by protoplast fusion a new variety with both resistance and better fruit quality which are absent in the selected cultivars.

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is propagated traditionally through offshoots or suckers, which usually appear at or below the ground level surrounding the stem base. However, there are many problems associated with this system. Offshoots are produced in limited number and vegetative propagation through them is slow, laborious, time consuming and expensive. The present study was conducted to...
