  • Title: Cultivar-Dependent Direct Organogenesis of Date Palm from Shoot Tip Explants.
    Author: Abahmane L.
    Journal: Methods Mol Biol; 2017; 1637():3-15. PubMed ID: 28755331.
    Abstract:
    A number of public and private laboratories are working on date palm micropropagation to meet the increasing worldwide demand for date palm planting material. A standardized direct organogenesis protocol exists for the production of date palm plantlets to maintain the genetic fidelity of regenerated plants. Organogenesis has the advantage of using low concentrations of plant growth regulators and avoiding the callus phase. In addition, direct regeneration of vegetative buds minimizes the risk of somaclonal variation among plant regenerants. However, in vitro multiplication cycles should be limited in duration by frequent renewal of plant material. This chapter describes a simple and routine organogenesis protocol for date palm multiplication using shoot tip explants.
