| Abstract | ||
| oratory/Date Palm Research Center-Basrah university to determine the effect of sucrose at different concentrations on some characteristics of date palm plantlets cultivar shuraify propagated by tissue culture, The main results of this study were: 1-The addition of sucrose at a concentration of 60 gm/L to the media led to significant increase of the average height of plantlets comparison with the other testes concentrations, plantlet height reached 8.54 cm. 2- The addition of sucrose at a concentration of 45 gm/L to the media led to significant increase in the rooting percentage, roots number and the numbers of leaves per plantlet in comparison with the concentrations 30 and 75 gm/L, the rooting percentage was 80%, the numbers of roots 4.60 per plantlet and the number of leaves was 3.6 per plantlet. 3-The addition of sucrose at a concentration of 60 gm/L to the media led to significant increase in the average of root length comparison with the other tested concentrations, the length of roots was 6.80 cm. | ||
