Background: In Algeria, date palm is currently confronted to the Bayoud disease. Biotechnological tools such as protoplasts fusion can appear as an alternative to ensure rapid multiplication and improvement of this species. Objectives: Callogenesis induction in protoplasts isolated from embryogenic callus of three date palm cultivars. Materials and Methods: Some factors influencing the isolatio...

Hydroponics culture have many advantages such as increased yield, health and uniform product, conservation of water and land , better protect , control of environmental pollution and reduce of workers for cultivation. So in recently years, usage of organic and inorganic substrates obtained more important for greenhouse owners and researchers. The aim of this study was Effects of culture substra...

Date palm, phoenix dactylifera l. (arecales: arecaeae) is the most important crop of the arabian Peninsula. the Kingdom of Saudi arabia is among the top 3 date producing countries of the world estimated to have over 400 date palm cultivars of which 25 are important and yield 1.3 million tons of dates annually. the red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculioni...

Late Quaternary palaeoecological records of palm decline, extirpation and extinction are explored from the oceanic islands of the Pacific Ocean. Despite the severe reduction of faunal diversity coincidental with human colonisation of these previously uninhabited oceanic islands, relatively few plant extinctions have been recorded. At low taxonomic levels, recent faunal extinctions on oceanic is...

The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was applied to identify palm varieties. Fluorescence labelled primers were used in selective amplifications and the amplified fragments were detected on capillary gel electrophoresis using an automated DNA sequencer with the analysis fragment option. This is a rapid and efficient technique for detecting a large number of DNA markers on...

New primer pairs of genomic DNA microsatellite markers were tested to assess the genetic diversity of eleven date palm genotypes. The results indicated that out of thirty, only seven primers (23.3%) failed to amplify the expected PCR fragments, while thirteen primers (43.3%) amplified monomorphic banding patterns and the remaining ten primers (33.4%) generated polymorphic banding patterns. A to...

In 2011, the FIGO classification system (PALM-COEIN) was published to standardize terminology, diagnostic and investigations of causes of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). According to FIGO new classification, in the absence of structural etiology, the formerly called "dysfunctional uterine bleeding" should be avoided and clinicians should state if AUB are caused by coagulation disorders (AUB-C)...
