Our ServicesOur VarietiesCultivation Stages
The explant is taken from the desired donor date palm. Selecting the right explant ensures the cultured plant carries the qualities of the mother plant.
The explant grows and produces many date palm plantlets that are genetically identical to the donor date palm.
The plantlets from Stage II then develop roots, which are essential for their growth in the greenhouse.
The plants are transferred to a greenhouse where they begin acclimation before being planted outdoors.
Improving quality and resistance against pests and diseases.
Acclimating plants for optimal growth before transplanting.
Our LabOur lab handles tissue culture and plant DNA analysis, with a technical team of well-educated, highly experienced scholars from leading agricultural universities.
It is the process of producing plants from tissues of the desired plant in an artificial nutrient medium under a controlled environment. The plants produced are exactly similar to the mother plant in all aspects.
Tissue culture plants are qualitatively better as they are produced under aseptic conditions and controlled environments:
An explant is the part of a plant which has the regeneration potential and can give rise to the whole plant. Types used in plant tissue culture include:
No. Tissue culture plants are free from diseases and pests if standard procedures are followed during production. While they grow faster and better, they are as vulnerable to pests and diseases as any other plant unless proper precautions are taken. However, tissue culture plants are free from soil-borne diseases.
