    Response of Different Explants, Cultivars and Plant Growth Regulators on Callus Formation and Organogenesis in Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
    (Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner College of Agriculture, Bikaner, 2008) AKSHAYA BHATI; M.K. Sharma
    The present study “Response of explants, cultivars and plant growth regulators on callus induction and organogenesis in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)” was carried out at Plant Biotechnology Laboratory of Central Institute for Arid Horticulture, Bikaner from December, 2007 to July, 2008. In this investigation, two important cultivars (Halawy and Medjool) of date palm were selected for in vitro callus formation and organogenesis. The effect of different levels of 2,4-D (25, 50 and 100 mg/l) and NAA (25, 50 and 100 mg/l) in combination with BA (3 mg/l) was studied. All combinations of plant growth regulators were evaluated with or without addition of activated charcoal in the MS medium for in vitro responsive explant, time taken for callus induction, average weight of callus, response of culture after each subculturing, growth and quality of callus.

    Evaluation of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars and their response for in vitro propagation
    (DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2013) AKSHAYA BHATI; Atul chandra
    The present study "Evaluation of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars and their response for in vitro propagation" was conducted at Date palm Research Centre, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University and Central Institute for Arid Horticulture, Bikaner during the year 2010-12. In this investigation, eight cultivars (Shamran, Khuneizi, Khalas, Barhee, Halawy, Khadrawy, Nagal and Zahidi) are evaluated for vegetative growth characteristics, bunch parameters, timings of spathe initiation and physico-chemical parameters while ten cultivars (Zagloul, Shamran, Khuneizi, Khalas, Barhee, Halawy, Khadrawy, Nagal, Zahidi and Medjool) were studied for in-vitro response.
