Abstract
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is among the earliest fruit crops cultivated in the arid Arab Peninsula, North Africa, and Middle East territories. Dates are a significant source of food and revenue for Middle East and North Africa's local communities. It has distinctive features of biology and development that require special methods of reproduction, culture and governance. In varying date-growing regions, there are thousands of date plant cultivars and varieties. The lengthy life cycle, long juvenile lifespan, and date palm dioecism produce cultivation difficult. Every year, the percentage of crop genomes sequenced has continued to increase. The incredible rate at which DNA samples become accessible is mainly due to the enhancement in cost-and speed-related sequencing techniques. Modern sequencing techniques enable the sequencing at realistic price of various cultivars of tiny plant genomes. Although many of the published genomes are deemed incomplete, they have nevertheless proven to be useful instruments for understanding significant plant characteristics such as fruit maturation, grain characteristics and adaptation of flowering time, here we review date palm genomic studies and determine its genomics element.
Highlights
Several of the plant genome sequences have been fully sequenced and have been openly accessible in the database, such as Oryza sativa (1), Zea mays (2), Hordeum vulgare (3), Phoenix dactylifera (4), Triticum aestivum (5), Eucalyptus grandis (6), Capsicum annuum (7), Beta vulgaris (8) and Solanum (9)
Yang et al (1) presented a full date palm chloroplast genome sequence of approximately 158,462 bp. They revealed that there are 112 distinctive genes and 19 duplicated parts in the IR areas in the date palm chloroplast genome. They recognized 78 SNPs within the population of a particular chloroplast genome as significant intravarietal polymorphisms, most of which were found in genes with essential tasks
Al-Dous et al .(4) used the Illumina GAII sequencing platform to present the first date of the palm assembly draft genome sequence for the Khalas cultivar
