Using complex organic additives in tissue culture medium of Date palm [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Coconut milk, Casein hydrolysate and Malt extract were used as a complex organic additives to investigate callus growth and somatic embryos production in Phoenix dactylifera L. cv. Bartamuda. The addition of complex organic additives with different concentrations to callus formation medium was effective compared with control medium. Casein hydrolysate and malt extract were recorded the lowest value of browning degree without significant differences. While control medium (Free-complex organic additives medium) recorded the highest value of browning degree. Coconut milk gave the best result to callus production compared with casein hydrolysate and malt extract. The same and the best results were observed when added 300 mg/l coconut milk or 500 mg/l casein hydrolysate through callus formation stage.
