The occurrence of a large number of fossil woods having resemblance in anatomical features with the modern palm genus, Phoenix L in Deccan Intertrappean fossil flora of Maastrichtian-Danian age (i. e. Late Cretaceous and Earliest Tertiary (65-67 my)) indicates the most primitive record of date palm. Present discovery of biocompounds from fossil wood of Phoenix collected from Deccan Intertrappea...

the ameliorative activity of aqueous extract of the flesh of dates (phoenix dactylifera l.) and ascorbic acid on thioacetamide-induced hepatotoxicity was studied in rats. sixty male rats were divided into six equal groups of 10. two groups were controls, one treated with thioacetamide and one with only distilled water. two groups received extract of flesh phoenix dactylifera and intraperitoneal...

iran is one of the main date (phoenix dactylifera) producing countries in the world. however, little information is available on the pollen viability and favorable storage conditions of iranian male date cultivars. this study was conducted to estimate the best in vitro pollen germination of three male date palm cultivars, `ghanami’, `samsmavi’ and `gheibani’ using various doses of boric acid (0...

Biochar, a carbon rich organic amendment, derived from biomass by pyrolysis under high-temperature and zero oxygen condition, is soil amendment to enrich with essential nutrients. Biochar multidimensional in its benefits, including increase sequestration, reduction green house emission, improved fertility, prolonged moisture retention capability overcome drought. can be produced wide array of b...

The quantification of water flow through the stem is vital for date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) to promote a good stress management. thermal dissipation probe (TDP) method developed by Granier widely used evaluate transpiration forest trees; however, there are contradictory reports regarding its reliability. Considerable errors in estimated sap flux density, which might be due lack ofspecies-...
