Recently, considerable progress has been made in the development and optimization of this technique from embryogenic cell suspension cultures. This chapter describes a procedure for the rapid development of a large number of somatic embryos from embryogenic cell suspension cultures. An efficient plant regeneration protocol via somatic embryogenesis from cell suspension cultures starting with shoot-tip explants to plantlet acclimatization also is fully described. Low concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) to 0.3 mg/L and high rate of subcultures each 7 days lead to improve the establishment and multiplication of somatic embryos in suspension cultures by limiting oxidative browning, associated with high total phenols and peroxidase activities. The detailed morphological observations have revealed the cells destined to become somatic embryos. Activated charcoal (AC)...

In order to carry out embryogenesis induction, proximal cotyledons were cultured in modified olive medium (OMc) supplemented with 25 μM indole-3-butylic acid (IBA) and 2.5 μM 2-isopentenyladenine (2iP), while distal leaf fragments (somatic explants) were cultured in OMc supplemented with 4.56 µM zeatin riboside (ZR) and 10.25 µM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Regarding embryogenic potentials, the zygotic explants (cv. Picholine Marocaine: 43.39%; cv. Dahbia: 53.41%) were more regenerative than the somatic explants (cv. Picholine Marocaine: 13.05%; cv. Dahbia: 19.51%). The enzyme assay showed a higher POX activity in embryogenic calluses (ECs) than in nonembryogenic calluses (NECs) for the zygotic explants ...

Successfully colonized plants by mycorrhizal fungi (85 % of treated plants) produced typical intraradical structures (arbuscules, vesicles, hyphae). After ten months of colonization, mycorrhizal plants showed a significant increase in their growth expressed as shoot height, number of leaves per plant, shoot weight, root weight and the total biomass. Mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal (controls) date palm seedlings showed great differences in their leaf contents of phosphorus (P), potassium (K +) and sodium (Na +). When compared with controls, P increased more than two folds in mycorrhizal plants, while the values of K + and Na + doubled. When inoculated with Foa by injecting roots with a spore suspension, mycorrhizal (M + Foa) and nonmycorrhizal (C + Foa) date palm seedlings showed significant increases in their root total phenols and peroxidase activities during the first month after inoculation. The highest increases were found in mycorrhizal seedlings accompanied by limited plant death. Mycorrhization alone did not affect significantly total phenols and peroxidase activities during the first week of culture. Plant death decrease in plant lots subjected to root inoculation with the he AMF fungus. As revealed by mycorrhization of date palm seedlings, these results supported the hypothesis that induced resistance to Bayoud disease is mediated by high increases in phenolic compounds and peroxidase activities. These results highlight the importance of mycorrhizal fungi as biocontrol agents to combat Bayoud disease and improve date palm culture in infected palm groves.

(Chenopodiaceae) is a monoecious C 4 perennial shrub native to the Mediterranean Basin, used as fodder shrub for livestock and useful for rehabilitation of degraded rangelands. To assess the levels and patterns of genetic diversity of this species, 99 samples of 11 populations collected throughout the natural range in Morocco plus 9 samples obtained from one population originating from USA, were analyzed using RAPD method and markers. A number of 157 reproducible amplified bands were obtained with 17 primers. Out of 157 amplified bands, 146 (93%) were polymorphic, and only 11 (7%) monomorphic. Global AMOVA analysis showed that the most genetic variation was within populations (66.57%), with the reminder occurring between populations (33.43%). Hierarchical AMOVA analysis revealed that variation among regions (Morocco versus USA) accounted only for 5.87% of the total genetic variation, suggesting that there is not a significant genetic differentiation of population...

As a whole, the results show a high variability among the species. The biggest diversity was obtained by RAPD data, followed by ITSs. According to RAPD markers, two major groups can be distinguished, one formed by A. semibaccata and A. undulata, the least similar to the rest of species. A. lentiformis was closer to A. halimus. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the divergence of A. semibaccata from all species and the closeness of A. lentiformis to A. halimus. The intraspecies variability was also high, as 39 individual RAPD haplotypes were obtained by analyzing 40 plants. Genetic diversity was bigger among species (60.23%) than among individuals (39.77%). The amplification of ITS region leads to three well-defined clades. The h...
