Differentiated somatic embryos ,of date palm cv. Zaghloul cultured onto nutrient medium containing different growth promoters (NAA and GA₃) and activated charcoal to enhance vegetative shoots elongation. Quantitative and qualitative improvements in shoots elongation and root development have been obtained throughout three subcultures ofsomatic embryos. Inclusion 0.1 mg 1⁻¹ NAA and 3.0 g 1⁻¹ ¹ AC in elongation medium promoted shoot length and leaf width as well as reduced vitrification. Using GA₃ at concentration more than 0.5 mg 1⁻¹ produced delicate shoots. The nutlient medium contaihed 0.1 NAA mg1⁻¹ only was the best medium for root formation in comparison with other treatments. The ideal shoots for transplanting should have 3-4 broad leaves, thick trunk and 4-5 adventitious roots with secondary roots.
