| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to investigate the effects of vitamins: Biotin, Pyridoxine, C-Pantothenate, and Riboflavin on the embryogenic callus and somatic embryos of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) CV. Barhee. The results showed that the best significant effect at level 2 mg/L for each vitamin on embryogenic callus was 4.9 , 4.6 , 4 , 3.9 gm. Respectively, whereas the less values at control treatment were 3.2 , 3.6 , 2.9 , 3 gm respectively. There are significant values for the maturation period of the somatic embryos at level 2mg/L for the four vitamins were 25 , 26 , 26 , 29 day respectively as compared with control treatment. The best significant effect for interaction between biotin and pyridoxine on the number of somatic embryos at level 2 mg/L for both was 28 embryos whereas for interaction between pantothenate and riboflavin also at 2mg/L for both was 27.6 embryos and the less values are at control treatment; Finally the best significant effect for interaction between biotin and pyridoxine on the fresh weight of somatic embryos at level 2mg/L for both was 0.280 whereas the less values at control treatment were 0.086 , 0.084 gm respectively. | ||
