Genetic potentialities if five male date palm genotypes, and in vitro culture of anthers. The experimental results derived from the study of five date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) genotypes indicate that the ability of microspores to divide varies with genotype and culture medium. The highest frequency of microspore division is obtained with the induction medium [Murashige and Skoog (MS 1962) mineral elements, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetique (2,4-D), 2-isopentenylaminopurine (2-IP)] containing activated charcoal. The pollinator T106 was considered as the most efficient genotype in our experimentation
