Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect MS salts were superior to White's salts for excised date palm root growth.
- Intervention effect Twice the concentration of the MS salts was inhibitory for excised date palm roots.
- Intervention effect The normal concentration of MS-Fe was optimum for root growth and elongation of excised date palm roots.
- Recommendation 2,4-D at 0.1–1.0 mg/l is recommended as the only growth regulator to add to the medium for date palm roots.
- Intervention effect Activated charcoal stimulated growth and elongation of excised date palm roots at all concentrations tested.
- Intervention effect PVP was inhibitory at all concentrations tested for excised date palm roots.
- Recommendation Shaken liquid media is recommended for better root growth and elongation at pH 7.0–8.0.
- Observation The developed medium supported growth and elongation of roots excised from two other date palm cultivars.
- Observation Optimal concentrations were determined for sugars, Modified White's Organics, inositol and adenine sulfate.
