How tissue culture techniques can be used to produce only female date palms?
Well the theory is straight forward.Identify a female Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) with desirable characteristics.Take a tissue sample of the plant and culture it via (in vitro) or tissue culture procedures.There are already existing protocols for the culture of Date Palms.Once the plantlets are ready they are planted out and hardend-off they can be sold.As tissue culture is a vegetative process all the "daughter plants" are genetically identical to the original mother plant.
