Abstract

Rapid production of somatic embryogenesis and date palm regeneration is achieved by culturing immature female inflorescence explants. Inflorescence explants are soft, creamy in color, average 6-7cm in length, and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 1mg/L thidiazuron (TDZ). Callus induction occurs after 4-5weeks of culture on the callus induction medium. Subsequently, callus develops embryogenic calli on MS medium supplemented with 0.1mg/L naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Histological samples were collected successively at the culturing time and during morphogenetic changes throughout the developmental stages of somatic embryos. Initiation of callus and different successive developmental stages for somatic embryos including two-celled, four-celled, globular, bipolar, and fully developed cotyledonary somatic embryos were observed. Mature somatic embryos develop within 10-12weeks after culture establishment.
