  In Vitro Culture of Date Palm (Phoeruix dactylifera L) Roots
  Author(s): Fatima Musbah Abbas*
  
  The accessional harvested from the 10-year-old Wad Loggi, date palm (Phoeruix dactylifera L) class trees planted in open field conditions. Several treatments were performed with the aim of this work to obtain plant roots free of fungal or bacterial contaminants. The root is repeatedly washed with running tap water followed by soaking for different exposure times at different concentrations of “Clorox”. The first experiment results showed that for 60 min soaking with a concentration of 30% “Clorox” gave a relatively higher number of contaminant-free culture tubes. In the second experiment, explants were immersed in an antioxidant solution as a pre-treatment for the “Clorox” for different exposure times. Presoaking in this solution for 60 min led to significant increases in the percentage of sterile implants compared to the “Clorox” treatm.. Read More»
